At the end of July, Huawei announced the HUAWEI P50 series. Unlike its predecessors, the new lineup is not only limited to 4G but also comes with a Qualcomm SoC. Now, as per a reliable tipster, the company will be using more Qualcomm chipsets in the future.

According to Digital Chat Station, Huawei has got access to two other Qualcomm Snapdragon SoCs other than Snapdragon 888. These are Snapdragon 778G and the upcoming SM8450 (aka Snapdragon 898).

Just like the HUAWEI P50 series phones, the handsets using these chipsets will also lack 5G connectivity. That’s because Huawei will be getting a special 4G version due to the US sanctions. Unfortunately, the leaker does not mention which HUAWEI phones will be using these two SoCs. 

Going by the Chinese tech giant’s now disrupted smartphone release cycle, the 4G version of Snapdragon 778G might power the rumored HUAWEI nova 9 series. On the other hand, the 4G variant of the unreleased SM8450 could drive the delayed HUAWEI Mate 50 series.

As of now, we don’t have any solid proof for this claim. However, since most of the information shared by Digital Chat Station has been accurate so far, the new details posted by him on Weibo could also be indeed true.

Last but not least, the leaker also says that Huawei might also use MediaTek chipsets, however, the deal is yet to be finalized.
