Strictly speaking, since Huawei released the Mate40 series 5G mobile phone in October 2020, Huawei has not released a 5G mobile phone, all of which are 4G mobile phones.
Even some time ago, Huawei launched the Mate60 series, even if it has 5G speed, the vast majority of netizens think that it is a 5G mobile phone, but Huawei has not publicly admitted that it is a 5G mobile phone, and the certification information does not show 5G.
But in the last ten days of 2023, Huawei is finally going to come up with a 5G mobile phone, which is the nova12 series.
The phone will be officially released on December 26, and importantly, its certification information shows that it supports 5G, which is also the only officially announced 5G phone by Huawei in the past 3 years.
And according to **, this mobile phone will use a new Kirin 5G chip, which is the same as the Kirin 9000S, but the performance will be slightly inferior.
The architecture of this chip is consistent with that of Kirin 9000s, it is still a 1+3+4 combination, using thread technology, 8 cores can become 12 cores, and the CPU is 1*249ghz+3*2.15ghz+4*1.53GHz, compared with the Kirin 9000s, the main frequency of the super-large core is slightly reduced by 013GHz, which can be considered a downclocked version of the Kirin 9000s.
The GPU Maloeon 910 is unchanged, so the implementation performance is a little worse, but not much.
Why not just use the Kirin 9000s?It is to reflect the differentiation with the mate60, after all, the mate60 series is so expensive, and the nova12 will be sold much cheaper.
If the chip is the same, the final system is the same, and the other configuration gaps are not too big, which may have a certain impact on the sales of mate60, so the chip needs to be adjusted, and the performance will be reduced a little bit, and the differentiation will be there.
At the same time, nova12 will have an entry version, a standard version, a pro version and an ultra version, respectively, with a price range of 1000 yuan, a price segment of 2000 yuan, a price segment of 3000 yuan and a price segment of 4000 yuan, covering low, medium and high-end, and mate60 series, forming a dislocation competition.
However, there are also ** said that due to the problem of production capacity, the production capacity of Kirin 9000s chips will not be too much, so the amount of nova12 in the early stage will definitely not be too much, after all, it is necessary to balance the production capacity of the mate60 series.
But it is foreseeable that with the continuous improvement of production capacity, Huawei will launch more and more mobile phones in the future, and Kirin and 5G will officially return, which is definitely a bad idea for other domestic machines, because Huawei's fan base is too strong.
