The post Kirin 980 devices head the list of AnTuTu’s top 10 devices for November appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Kirin 980 chipset that powers the Huawei Mate 20 series of flagship phones and the Honor Magic 2 is a smaller 7nm chipset compared to the 10nm Kirin 970 SoC. To be precise, the Kirin 980 is 30 percent smaller than its predecessor. A die shot of the new chipset has been surfaced to reveal the placement of its different components.

The HiSilicon Kirin 980 SoC measures only 74.13mm2. The top-left corner of the SoC features Mali G76MP10 graphics. It promises 50 percent better performance than the predecessor Mali-G72 MP12 available on the Kirin 970. The Kirin 980 is the first SoC from HiSilicon to adopt new DynamicIQ technology by ARM which makes it possible to build chipsets with versatile designs.

The quad-core Cortex A76 CPUs arranged in two pairs are attached the DynamicIQ Shared Unit (DSU). The offer different processing speeds of up to 2.6 GHz and 1.92 GHz. Each core of both the pairs are equipped with 512KB private L2 caches.  On the either sides of the DSU is the quad-core Cortex A55 that can function at up to 1.8 GHz. The 4MB L3 cache is also attached to the DSU. The above image also shows the placement of the LPDDR4X RAM controllers. The Kirin 980 is the first SoC to feature 2,133Mhz memory.

The above image was shared by Chiprebel and the different components on it were labelled by AnandTech. What’s interesting about the layout is that the dual-core NPU unit for handling AI tasks cannot be seen. It should be present on the chip, but its position could not be identified. According to Huawei, the NPU unit of the Kirin 980 is two times faster than that of Kirin 970.

Huawei today unveiled the Mate 20 series for the Chinese market in a ceremony held in Shanghai. Recall that the Mate 20 series were first launched in London a couple of weeks back but is making its debut in Huawei’s home country. It has become sort of a tradition that DXOMark’s review of a flagship model’s camera is released about the same time the phone is announced. We’ve been wondering why the Mate 20 series have deviated from that practice until now. Huawei has disclosed that it is intentional.

During the launch, Huawei did reveal that it has no plan to release the DXOMark score of any of the Mate 20 series models. That is because their camera benchmark scores by DXOMark’s are all extremely high! Can you beat that? Apparently, the Mate 20, Mate 20 Pro, Mate 20X and Mate 20 Porsche design all have powerful camera setup. Among the lot, the Mate 20 Pro obviously should be the most powerful with its triple rear cameras consisting of a 40-megapixel + 20-megapixel + 8-megapixel triple camera setup. We may never know how they performed on DXOMark’s independent review. Huawei says it doesn’t want to court unnecessary publicity but we’re certain someday the company will release the score as a marketing tool.

So, as it stands, Huawei’s flagship P20 Pro still stands as DXOMark’s highest rated smartphone with an overall score of 109. This is followed by Apple’s latest flagship iPhone XS Max with 105 points. Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 which made its debut yesterday comes in at third with a score of 103 points. The Mi Mix 3 edged Samsung Galaxy Note 9 to occupy the third spot.

Huawei‘s Mate 20 series will be officially unveiled on Tuesday, October 16. There have been massive leaks in the past week but a new one has surfaced which reveals an important detail for one of the models.

Photos have surfaced on the web that shows one of the Mate 20 phones will have a stylus. You read that right. The live photos seem to be from an official document but were originally taken in a Huawei store.

In the images, we can see three phones placed under the Mate 20 stand- two which stand side-by-side and have a similar size while a much larger one is propped up on the right. The pictures are blurry but we believe the two phones on the left are the Mate 20 Pro and the Mate 20.

The larger device which is on the right is the one with a stylus albeit a pretty big one. We presume this is the Mate 20X said to be aimed at gamers, but from the images, it seems Huawei has added stylus support as one of its distinguishing features.

Samsung is no doubt the king of stylus-toting phones with its Galaxy Note series and no manufacturer has been able to take the crown from it. However, Huawei seems to want to make an attempt with the Mate 20 X.

Obviously, the stylus doesn’t fit into the device, so Samsung has the upper hand here. We also have no idea what features Huawei has added to the Mate 20X with respect to stylus support so we can’t say if it measures up to that of the Note series. Nevertheless, we are eager to see the stylus in action.

The Mate 20X will come with an AMOLED display like its siblings but much larger in size. It will also have a Kirin 980 processor and quad rear cameras but is expected to pack a bigger battery and also have a cooling technology to keep the phone from heating up during extended gaming sessions.

The Mate 20 series will be unveiled in London. The event will be live-streamed and will begin at 2 pm British time which corresponds to 9 pm in China and 6:30 pm in India.

Huawei has scheduled an event on October 16th in London where the company will announce its flagship smartphones — Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro. Recently, the company’s leaked teaser of the phones showcased the camera capabilities. Now, another teaser video has surfaced online, which confirms that both the phones will be powered by the company’s own Kirin 980 processor.

The Kirin 980 chipset was announced by Huawei last month, making it the first mobile processor manufactured using the 7nm process. Not only that, but it is also the first chipset with the new Cortex-A76 CPU cores; the first chipset with a dual-NPU; the first with the Mali-G76 GPU, the first with a Cat. 21 LTE modem, and the first chipset to support 2133MHz LPDDR4X.

The octa-core chipset comes in a tri-cluster arrangement (2+2+4). The four Cortex-A76 cores are separated into two – one set is clocked at 2.6GHz while the other is clocked at 2.2GHz. The former takes on high demanding short-term tasks while the latter handles high-demanding long-term tasks. The power-saving Cortex-A55 cores are clocked at 1.8GHz and handle simple everyday tasks.

The Kirin 980 also has a new ISP with a 46 percent increase in performance over last year’s model. Huawei says that it also brings a 23 percent improvement in recording power efficiency and 33 percent improvement in recording latency. There is also the new dual NPU chipset termed “Dual-Brain Power” that is claimed to be 120 percent faster than the NPU in the Kirin 970.

Earlier, the phone’s specifications were leaked online, revealing that the Mate 20 will have a 6.3-inch OLED display with 3120 x 1440 pixel screen resolution and curved sides, and will be powered by a 4,200mAh battery with support for wireless charging. It could come with up to 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage.

The triple camera set up on the phone could include a 20-megapixel RGB sensor, a 12-megapixel monochrome sensor, and an 8-megapixel telephoto lens. The Mate 20 Pro, on the other hand, is expected to have an in-display fingerprint sensor and a wider notch to house necessary sensors for 3D facial recognition.

The Mate 20 will be debuting as the regular version of the Mate 20 Pro. Huawei will be announcing both smartphones on Oct. 16. A leaked video of the silver variant of the Huawei Mate 20 has appeared on Weibo. The short video lasts only for 10 seconds, but it manages to reveal the front and rear design of the Mate 20.

As previous reports have revealed, the Mate 20 that has appeared in the leaked video can be seen with a waterdrop notch screen. The flat display of the Mate 20 is surrounded by very slim bezels. It is expected to arrive with a 6.3-inch FHD+ LCD display, but the screen seems much bigger in the video.

The back panel of the Mate 20 features a square-shaped camera module that includes a triple camera setup and an LED flash. Previous leaks have revealed that the triple camera system may include 20-megapixel RGB sensor, 12-megapixel monochrome sensor and 8-megapixel telephoto lens. Apart from the newly spotted silver edition, the Mate 20 is also expected to come in other options such as black, blue, green and gradient variants.

What differentiates the Mate 20 from Mate 20 Pro is the presence of a rear-mounted fingerprint reader. The Mate 20 Pro is rumored to arrive with an under-display fingerprint scanner and it also expected to arrive with a wider notch that may include necessary sensors for 3D facial recognition.

Huawei is expected to launch a wireless charger alongside the Mate 20 series in October. The wireless charger which has model number CP60 was certified by the FCC a few weeks ago revealing its design and a few details. Now official renders and more specs have surfaced.

The Huawei Wireless Charger CP60 is shaped like a disc and comes in white with a red line that goes around the perimeter. There is an LED in front to indicate when it is powered on and a USB-C input port underneath.

The spec list confirms the Huawei Wireless Charger has a power input rating of 40W (10V 4A). Huawei has a 40W charger on the way and it got certified at the FCC along with the wireless charger. This charger will most likely be the same that will ship with the Honor Magic 2.

When the Honor Magic 2 was partly unveiled at IFA, it was mentioned that it will come with support for 40W fast charging called Magic Charge. It shouldn’t be a surprise if it launched with the Mate 20 series first.

The wireless charger will have a maximum power output of 15W (12V 1.25A) but will be able to charge compatible devices at 5W, 7.5W, and 10W. Just so you know, the maximum power output is lesser than that of another Huawei wireless charger with model number LZ80 that surfaced about a month ago. The LZ80 has a maximum power output of 20W.

Huawei has taken the act of mocking the newly launched iPhones to the next level in seemingly funny way. In Singapore, those who were waiting overnight for the release of the iPhone XS and XS Max, were handed power banks by the China-based tech giant.

Some people wearing Huawei t-shirts started giving away power banks to the hundreds of people waiting in line to get their hands on the newly announced iPhones. Not just that, there’s a message on the power bank’s box which reads – “Here’s a power bank. You’ll need it. Courtesy of Huawei.”

The power banks that the Chinese company is handing out for free aren’t cheap or old units. The company is giving away Huawei’s SuperCharge 10,000mAh power banks, which are priced at around SD80 (approx. $59) per unit.

Huawei has been subtly trolling Apple ever since the new iPhones were announced. Just after the Apple launch event on September 12, the company posted a video on social media platforms that says “Thank you for letting us be the real hero for the year. See you in London 16.10.18.”

Earlier this year, Huawei had introduced the Mate RS Porsche Design smartphone alongside the Huawei P20 and P20 Pro flagship smartphone. It had arrived with some advanced features such as in-display fingerprint scanner and 512 GB of native storage. Industry expert Roland Quandt has claimed that the Huawei has been working on a device that is codenamed as Everest. It is speculated that it could be the upcoming Mate 20 Porsche Design smartphone.

According to Quandt, Huawei employees are internally using a device that has a codename of Everest. It has a model number of EVR-xxxx. The handset could either be the Porsche Design Mate 20 or a bigger version of Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro that are respectively codenamed as Hima and Laya. As of this writing, there is no information available on the alleged Mate 20 Porsche Design.

Since the Mate 20 Porsche Design is expected to carry advanced flagship specs, it may feature the Kirin 980 SoC. The chipset could be supported by 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM. Like the Mate RS Porsche Design, the special edition Mate 20 may also come equipped with a native storage of 512 GB. Also, it may sport triple camera setup like the Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro. Instead of the square-shaped module of Mate 20 duo, the Porsche Design edition may feature a vertical camera layout like the older models.

The Mate 20 Porsche Design may come equipped with a curved AMOLED screen.

The Mate 20 Porsche Design may not feature a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. Lastly, it is also rumored to support 40W fast charging and 15W wireless charging.
