Kirin 970 SoC Announced
Huawei just shared details about the new Kirin 970 chipset. As you know, the Honor 9 is equipped with the Kirin 960 and the performance on this phone is fantastic. So whats new with this new chip?
Internal tests show this performance capability allows the Kirin 970 to process 2005 images per minute, which is up from 97 images per minute without the NPU. The new chipset from Huawei is similar to the previous Kirin 960 but sporting higher frequencies, being an eight-core SoC with four being Cortex-A73 cores clocked at 2.40 GHz and the other four being Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.80 GHz. The GPU Huawei has chosen to go with is the newer ARM Mali-G72MP12, but the company has yet to announce its clock speed.
They did, however, confirm it will have a dual ISP, but again, didn’t go into detail about its performance. It will be equipped with the Kirin 970 Integrated LTE modem (a Category 18 modem) with download capabilities of 1.2Gbps. The last bit of information that was announced at IFA this year was that it would be built on a 10nm process from TSMC. The company normally has big press events for their new chips, and since that wasn’t the case at IFA, it is likely why they didn’t reveal any more details about it.

If Honor makes an "Honor 9 Pro" I have a feeling we will being seeing this new chip in this device.

Nope, Galaxy S8 US uses snapdragon 835, there isn't a Snapdragon 830

I do know that the US variant of the SGS8 was suppose to be the 1st device released with the SD830. I have no idea why they used the SD835 instead.

It's 628 MP4, it's debated in another thread. Even if cpuz says T624.
Is honor 6x camera good for taking videos ?
#Honor6x
camera
it is good?
it should be good.. because I own an honor 5x and seem to be a good camera, and 6x should be the successor, so it should have a camera better than 5x
I'd say it good enough for making family videos, but don't expect flagship quality video quality.
Better compared to the competetors, the only drawback is stabilisation and low light performance

So does anyone know if huawei is affected by the newest cpu bugs?
Seeing that ARM states that cortex a72 is affected, kirin 960 is almost definitely affected.
as i know, kirin 960 meldtdown=no / spectre=yes
Every month it is some other security breach... I am losing hope in technology.
The question is: when we'll have a tool to check devices (both mobiles and PCs, any OS) for these vulnerabilities ?
EDIT: the mighty Alex Ionescu (ReactOS) published a Windows utility !

Huawei is preparing a "very scary" technology that can change all of its devices
https://infoglitz.com/polandeng/hua...echnology-that-can-change-all-of-its-devices/
What is that? What they will make? Software or hardware? Will P20 Pro be able to use "scary technology "?
Or it will be new P20 Pro with Kirin 980?
It sounds like AI battery optimization to me.
Sounds like a bad translation to me.

Like the recent case with zte, US can pressure Google not to grant the Android license to Huawei, that the worst case scenario.

Some leaks say that Huawei will remove/modify Android's Dalvik to speed system up, and rename the new system to Kirin OS. And of cause, someone has already said that.
No worry about US gov's decision, chineses gov won't agree.
The "scary technology " has been revealed by Huawei today and dubbed "GPU turbo ". Interesting thing is that we probably get this on our p20's as well

Scary technology get just GPU 60% more in 8.2 update.
Yes but that's with an upgraded GPU. This is software related and can be achieved with existing compatible hardware.

Kirin 970 with "GPU turbo " in action and outperforms Xiaomi Mi8 SD845.. App opening speeds are insanely fast Really hope this will come to our devices in a future firmware update.

Hi all,
I have a Huawei Honor 9. Recently replaced it's battery and still find that the phone in general has poor performance nowadays and not great battery life either.
The device currently runs android 9 on Huawei's EMUI v9.1.0 9.1.0.210 Android security patch 5 July 2019.
Please can you help me figure out if running a custom rom here makes sense, will get me any benefits and let's move from there?!
@renegadeandy Did you already check in the device forum?
Honor 9
The Honor 9 was announced June 2017 as the successor to the Honor 8. The 5.15" screen has a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels. The Kirin 960 chipset has an octa-core (4x2.4 GHz Cortex-A73 & 4x1.8 GHz Cortex-A53) CPU and a mali-G71 MP8 GPU. This phone comes with 4GB and 6GB RAM options, with 64GB...

Sorry, I don't know the device. And it seems to be slightly older. Probably, therefore the community isn't too active. Just have a look in the development section.
@jerryhou85 Sir, do you have a recommendation for our member?
I use to own a Honor 6 and I'd say not many custom ROMs for overseas versions, there are still some Chinese custom ROM for local model number, but I doubt they are working well on overseas models.
Guess it is time to move on...
