HUAWEI P70 Series Could Bring the Kirin 9010 Chipset and Cutting-Edge Camera Tech
As the tech world eagerly awaits the release of HUAWEI’s P70 series, recent insights from Smart Pikachu on Weibo have stirred up excitement by revealing key details about the device’s powerhouse – the HiSilicon Kirin 9010 chipset. While not officially announced, this chipset has been in development for quite some time, promising to elevate the P70 series to new heights.
The Kirin 9010 Saga: From Leaks to Trademarks
The first whispers of the Kirin 9010 surfaced three years ago, with leaks suggesting it to be a cutting-edge 3nm chip. Initially, TSMC was the likely manufacturer, but with the prevailing trade restrictions on HUAWEI, this prospect now seems unlikely. Recent revelations about HUAWEI shipping laptops with Kirin 9006C chips from TSMC turned out to be from an old stockpile, leaving the chipset origin question unanswered. While SMIC, HUAWEI’s alternative, is currently working on a 7nm node, the performance gap compared to TSMC’s 5nm node raises questions. The possibility of SMIC working on a 3nm node, though promising, remains a future endeavor.
The central question lingers; will the Kirin 9010 truly be a 3nm marvel, or is HUAWEI strategically repurposing the name amid trade restrictions? A trademark registered in 2021, coupled with intended production plans in 2022 (although not materialized), suggests HUAWEI’s commitment to the Kirin 9010 brand. Whether the company has navigated around trade barriers remains uncertain but adds an intriguing layer to the unfolding narrative.
Beyond the chipset saga, rumors abound regarding the P70 Art’s camera prowess. Sources suggest an ultra-wide camera featuring a 1-inch type sensor and a high-quality 1G6P lens (one glass element, six plastic). Notably, HUAWEI is said to be venturing into sensor development, with the P70 series anticipated to showcase these innovations. If speculation holds true, this leap in camera technology could redefine smartphone photography standards.
Adding to the anticipation, reports hint at the P70 series marking HUAWEI’s return to 5G connectivity. The company’s commitment to staying at the forefront of technological advancements is evident, promising users an enhanced mobile experience. Stay tuned for more updates on this eagerly awaited flagship series.
