Although in reality we find two versions of it. One with 5G natively integrated and one that is simply with 4G. Both are expected to be released to the market and used on their phones.

New processor

A built-in modem is used in Kirin 990 to make it compatible with 5G. It is one of the great novelties. On the other hand, the processor stands out for its power and the use of artificial intelligence. It has a NPU called Da Vinci, which is the most innovative, using two processors, one more powerful and one for daily tasks. It is presented as the most powerful chip in this field.

The processor has been built at 7nm once again. As the brand has said, it will offer us up to 2.3Gbps of download speed and up to 1.25 Gbps of upload speed. While improvements have been made in energy consumption. The result, the best processor of the Chinese brand so far.

The Huawei Mate 30 will be the first to use Kirin 990, although not the only ones. There are already rumors that the Huawei Mate X will use it, in addition to the Honor V30. These next few weeks we will know more about which models will use it.
