Huawei Mate 40 series

[Apparatus]

The latest report from Huawei Central cites industry sources about Huawei’s next-generation Kirin processor. Supposedly called the Kirin 1000, it will be Huawei’s first chipset built on the 5nm process and said to launch in the second half of 2020.

The source says Huawei has begun trial production of the chipset and the Kirin 1000 would use A77 architecture cores (the 990 uses A76). We can expect the Kirin 1000 to be even faster while consuming even less battery life. Like the 990, we can expect the Kirin 1000 to be configured with 5G radios built in.

Just as the Mate 30 series debuted the Kirin 990, the Kirin 1000 will apparently debut with the Huawei Mate 40 series. It is said to feature Huawei’s Da Vinci NPU’s next-level artificial intelligence.

The Mate 30 was only announced in September so there is still a good year or so before we may hear about its successor.

Huawei Mate 40 Pro to ship without Google Services as Trump extends trade ban

The Mate 30 Pro was Huawei's first flagship to be released without Google Services support, and it seems that will continue with the upcoming Mate 40 Pro, as President Trump has now extended the trade ban by an extra year.

Snapdragon 865 is using Cortex-A77 core on 7 nm process while Kirin 1020 is expected to use Cortex-A78 core on 5 nm process. Kirin has a slight edge on paper.

Am a fan of the Huawei mate series. Previously always use Samsung Note series, until I found that their innovation lagging behind Huawei. Still using a Huawei Mate 20x as daily driver. Newly launched local set only cost $1148 (6 gb ram, 128 GB storage), one of the best deals to me at that time. Cheaper than the Samsung Note series that I usually buy. Held off purchasing Mate 30 as didn't have X (phablet version) and lack of Google services. Let's see if Mate 40 series will have any compelling selling point...

Sucks to be unfairly disadvantaged due to lack of GMS. If the ban didn't happen, Huawei was really going to be trailblazing.

Bingo! Indeed!

So for Huawei fans, must pray that Trump loses the election, and that the next POTUS adopts a softer stance towards China. Slowly remove some of the companies in the Entity List after negotiation. Allow Huawei to operate with the necessary US technology. Then we can finally buy Huawei Mate 50 late next year...

Estimated Wait Time: 1.5 years

Huawei still can buy from other manufacturers e.g. Samsung

Millions Of Huawei Users Suddenly Get New Mate 40 Upgrade Surprise
Jun 21, 2020,03:37pm EDT

That impact is now starting to hit. Millions of Huawei users planning to upgrade to the Mate 40—the next flagship, due this fall, are in for a surprising delay. At least according to the Nikkei Asian Review, which has exceptional sources in Huawei’s supplier base. Huawei, it says, has told a number of suppliers “to delay production... asking for halts to production of some components for its latest Mate series of phones, and has also trimmed orders of parts for the coming quarters.”
