Kirin 950 Reaches The Top Of Geekbench, And Has Its Specs Confirmed ._._._._.
Since last year Huawei has shown great potential in producing their own chipsets to run on theirdevices. The Huawei P8 and P8 Lite are good examples both running the Kirin 935. Despite the satisfactory performance, this still isn’t the best that Huawei has to offer, coming in both Kirin 940 and 950.
Since the first reports about the new Kirin 950, weall created good expectations that this would be the first chipset from Huawei to compete, if not surpassthe best that we have in the market today. The chipthat would give power to the Huawei Ascend Mate 8 and the possible Honor 7 Plus does not have a dateto reach the market and in a optimistic view, until the end of this year. The Kirin 940 is expected to come in the next month in the Huawei Ascend Mate 7s and while the 950 don’t show up we can now check some details about it.
The Kirin 950 is an octa-core CPU made in the 16nm FinFET process that counts with a cluster of 4x Cortex-A72 up to 2.4GHz and another cluster of 4x Cortex-A53, besides the Mali-T860 GPU for graphic processing and the support the fast LPDDR4 RAM technology.The Kirin 950 gets a punctuation of 6.000 points in the Multi-Core Geekbench 3 Test, 20% more than the current unbeatable Exynos 7420. The 950 also did well in the single-core test reaching 1.900 points which is 30% better than performed by Exynos 7420.
We expect the Kirin 950 to debut inside the Huawei Ascend Mate 8, previously expected for September but due to the chipset delay, it would be launched early in the next year. However, talking about the Kirin 940 we expect the upcoming Mate 7S to do impressively well with it.
More details about the Kirin 940 and 950 should come with the time, and with the IFA date in the corner that shouldn’t take a long time, only by then we can confirm if the info is totally accurate or a bit of overstatement. More details we will cover, for now leave your thoughts about the Huawei’s newest SoCs, can they do well with the competition?
[ Source ]Huawei Nexus Confirmed Along With Huawei-Google Partnership ._._._._.
We’ve heard at least two claims about a potential Huawei-Google lineup for the next Nexus, and another report this morning coming from The Information confirms the same. A Huawei-Google partnership will prove to be beneficial for both companies.
Huawei has had a rough time putting a dent into US sales, particularly because of hostile relations between China and the US. At one point, Huawei was forced to respond to claims that its phones were being used as tools to spy on American citizens. Even when Apple launched the iPhone on China Mobile, the Chinese government ruled that the iPhone was risky on security because of the American National Security Agency’s spying efforts. Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden testified that the NSA is worse than many intelligence agencies worldwide, and he still contends to this day that certain cloud services in the US are tools of the government’s “prying eyes.”
Google is thrown in the mix, too. While Snowden has more than spoken his mind on the problems with the NSA (for whom he once worked), more Americans distrust Google than the NSA, according to various surveys, which makes the Nexus a no-go for many Americans. While Americans often choose between Samsung and Apple as their favorite manufacturers, Google could have some success in China that it may never have in the US – which makes this partnership well-timed.
If Huawei does produce the next Nexus, it’ll be the first time in Nexus history that a Chinese manufacturer has ever made the “pure Android” smartphone. Adding to the excitement is the fact that Huawei may not only make Nexus history, but that it would ease the tensions between the US and China on a microcosmic level – that is, Huawei would serve as a way for Google to launch its device in China and calm suspicions about American devices (a success that Apple still hasn’t achieved).
Even now, despite Android developers in China that sell their apps internationally via the Play Store, Google’s Play Store has limited functionality for Chinese users: they cannot download apps from the most used App Store of the three major operating systems. Google’s partnership with Huawei would help the Play Store launch in major fashion in China, which would also be a first. In exchange for Huawei’s help in China, Google would help market Huawei’s Android Wear smartwatch in the US, alongside of the Huawei Nexus. Huawei has high expectations to break through the Samsung-Apple duopoly in America and become a top contender for smartphone users.
As for the Huawei Nexus, Shenzhen Huaqiang Electronics Research Institute analyst Jiutang Pan says that it will feature a 5.7-inch display with a Quad HD (2,560 x 1,440p) screen resolution and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor. As for the design, rumors say that the Huawei Nexus will take its inspiration from the Huawei Ascend Mate 8. The Huawei Nexus will run Android M, Google’s upcoming major Android update, and could feature fingerprint authentication and an SD card slot – since both of these features are now supported in Android M according to Google’s I/O announcement in late May. You can expect this historic Huawei smartphone to arrive on the market this Fall.
Huawei Honor 7 Full Specifications ._._._._.
Huawei have just wrapped up the launch of the new Huawei Honor 7, revealing that there are 3 models available with pricing set lower than rumours had initially suggested.
Huawei released the alloy bodied Huawei Honor 7 today, in fact there are 3 different versions of the phone, with pricing much lower than we had been lead to believe.
Pricing for the mini Mate 7 (the Honor 7 looks like a smaller version of the famous Huawei Phablet) starts at just 1999 Yuan for the standard LTE model with 16GB internal memory. 2199 Yuan gets the same memory but dual 4G LTE SIM support and 2499 Yuan gets the top end Huawei Honor 7 with 64GB internal memory.
Other than the details mentioned above the specifications of the 3 phones are the same across the board.
The alloy phone boasts a 5.2-inch 1920 x 1080 display with a pixel density of 423ppi, similar to the Vivo Xhshot that was released last year. Above the display is an 8 mega-pixel front facing camera, with fixed focus and F2.4 aperture.
Turn the phone over and a Sony IMX230 sensor is revealed. This is a 20 mega-pixel rear camera with Phase Detection Auto Focus for fast 0.1 second focus. The sensor has an F2.0 aperture 6 lens stack and sapphire glass protection against scratching.
Beneath the camera is a touch fingerprint sensor. This sensor is the more useful version with a one tap unlock feature. The security measure has also been built-in to some apps on the Honor 7 for banking and payments for added security.
Huawei provide the horsepower for the phone with the octacore Kirin 935 chipset running at 2.2Ghz. The processor uses 4 x A53 2.2Ghz and 4 x A53 1.5Ghz cores in a big.LITTLE arrangement and uses a Mali T628 GPU. As with all current Chinese flagships there is 3GB RAM and internal memory starts at 16GB rising to 64GB for the top of the range version. The good news is that the phone also packs a SD card slot for 128GB cards.
Connectivity comes in the form of NFC, WIFI 802.11a/b/g/n/ac (2.4-5Ghz), Bluetooth 4.1, GPS, GSM, WCDMA and LTE. Supported networks for the Huawei Honor 7 (Chinese version) are FDD-LTE B1/B3 and WCDMA 850/800/1900/2100.
Other details include a 3100mAh battery with a fast charge time of just 1 hours and 25 minutes for a full charge and 30 minutes for a 50% charge, and Huawei’s own EMUI version 3.1 based on Android 5.0 Lollipop. Dimensions of the phone are 143.2 x 71.9 x 8.5mm at a weight of 157g.
