A HUAWEI device with model number NOH-AN50 has appeared with the Kirin 9000L on Geekbench. Named Mate 40E Pro 5G, its benchmark scores indicate that it performs very similarly to the Dimensity 1200.

The single-core scores average around 900 while the multi-core scores average around 2,800, which puts it in the upper mid-range bracket by 2022 standards (via Huawei Central).

The Kirin 9000L is actually a slightly toned-down version of the original Kirin 9000 and 9000E chipsets, with a slightly lower peak clock speed of 2.86GHz, compared to the 3.13GHz frequency of the other two. Its GPU is slightly less powerful too with the Mali-G78 being an 18 core unit as opposed to the 24 and 22 cores on the Kirin 9000 and Kirin 9000E, respectively.

The chip’s configuration includes 1x Cortex-A77 at 2.86GHz + 2x Cortex-A77 at 2.54GHz + 3x Cortex-A55 at 2.05GHz.

The Huawei Mate 40E Pro 5G already went on sale in China last month for 6,700 Yuan (around $1,062) for the 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage variant. It features a 6.76-inch OLED FHD+ display, a triple camera setup at the rear, and a 4,400mAh battery with support for 66W super-fast charging.

Huawei is expected to release new variants of its older flagship smartphones next month. These devices are rumored to go official as HUAWEI Mate40E Pro 5G and HUAWEI P50E 4G. A tipster has now revealed when these handsets will go on sale in China.

According to 旺仔百事通 (Wangzai Knows Everything) on Weibo, the HUAWEI Mate40E Pro 5G is scheduled to go on sale in the company’s home country China on March 3. On the other hand, he says that the HUAWEI P50E 5G will hit the shelves in mid to late March.

Recently, two mysterious HUAWEI-branded smartphones received 3C certifications carrying model numbers NOH-AN50 and ABR-AL60. Both support 66W fast charging, however, the former can connect to 5G networks and the latter is limited to 4G connectivity.

Hence, it is said that NOH-AN50 will go official as HUAWEI Mate40E Pro 5G, whereas the ABR-AL60 will break cover as HUAWEI P50E 4G. As far as the chipset is concerned, the former is anticipated to house the long-rumored Kirin 9000L.

Wangzai, the leaker who disclosed the sale timeline utters that the stock of Kirin 9000L is scarce. Therefore, he suggests interested buyers purchase the phone as soon as it goes on sale.

We look forward to learning more about these handsets in the coming days. Also, do let us know your thoughts on these devices in the comment section below.

Chinese tech giant Huawei is still battling to keep its smartphone business up and running as the company had hinted that it is not planning to sell its smartphone arm any time soon just like the Honor brand was sold off. To this end, we expect a whittled-down launch itinerary this year. The company recently launched the Mate X2 flagship and is expected to launch the P50 series in May.

A rumor has emerged in the Chinese media that Huawei’s chip-making arm HiSilicon will soon launch the Kirin 9000L mobile platform. This is the first time we are hearing about this chip but putting the name into consideration, it can be understood that the Kirin 9000L has a similar design to the Kirin 9000E and Kirin 9000 but the manufacturing process is different. The unannounced Kirin 9000L is said to be manufactured using Samsung’s 5nm EUV process. The chipset is slightly inferior to the two TSMC models manufactured earlier on, considering its setup.

The leak source also revealed the configuration of the Kirin 9000L, highlighting the difference it has with the Kirin 9000 and 9000E. The Kirin 9000L’s large CPU core will see its frequency reduced to 2.86GHz as against 3.13GHz for both the Kirin 9000 and 9000E. The GPU is an 18-core Mali-G78 while the 9000 and 9000E GPU cores are 24 cores and 22 cores respectively.

Furthermore, recall that Huawei’s flagship chipsets usually feature a dedicated NPU. In this regard, the Kirin 9000L’s NPU will use a single large core CPU only. In contrast, the Kirin 9000 features two large cores and a micro core while the Kirin 9000E has one large core and a micro core.

We can’t vouch for the authenticity of these details but on the surface, this could be Huawei’s attempt at rationing its chip inventories as the company had stacked up large orders before the US ban became absolute, affecting companies outside the US using US technology like Samsung foundries, TSMC, and others. One of the sources disclosed that the new chip may be utilized by the Huawei P50 alongside the Kirin 9000E.

Also, an earlier rumor had emerged that Samsung had collaborated with Japanese and European manufacturers to build a small production line using non-US equipment. This new chip using Samsung 5nm EUV may be the result but there is no official word on that yet.

If indeed Huawei has got a Kirin 9000L chipset in the works, we may see it get announced in no distant time. We’ll keep you update on this story if more details emerge.
