Huawei revealed last year that there will be no Kirin chipsets in 2023 and even got arrogant, calling the reports “fake news.” Fast forward nine months and we saw the company announce the Mate 60 series with a Kirin 9000S platform, and now we hear there are plans for another SoC: a Kirin 8 series.
The new chip will likely be called Kirin 830 and, according to the leakster, will launch with the Nova 12 series “at the end of the year.”
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about this particular chipset, but only now do we have information on the timing of its arrival. Nova 12 and Nova 12 Pro have appeared in some leaked posters, suggesting that the Kirin 830 chip will only be for the vanilla smartphone. The phone will have three cameras on the back, a powerful 60MP selfie shooter on the front and 88W charging support.
The Kirin 830’s performance is said to be on par with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 778G or Snapdragon 870, but we’re still in the realm of speculation. The biggest issue is who will produce the chipset as 5G technologies and patents are still held by US companies that are not allowed to trade with Huawei or its chipset maker subsidiary HiSilicon.
