FixedFocus revealed that Huawei still has many Kirin 8000 products in the pipeline. The processor could be used in new MatePad tablets and the upcoming Enjoy series. The company will probably unveil these devices by the end of this year.

On October 30, Huawei quietly unveiled the MatePad 11.5 2024 tablet. The company didn’t reveal the chipset info. However, an early leak suggested that the device uses Kirin 8000. It seems the OEM is planning more new products with the same chip.

The leak doesn’t specify any release time for these products. Yet, Huawei will likely unveil a new tablet and another Enjoy series before wrapping up this year.

Huawei hasn’t confirmed the news yet. Hence, let’s take this input with a grain of salt and wait for the official statements on this matter.

Kirin 8000 debuted with the Nova 12 Pro handset in December last year. It is an octa-core chipset that is inferior to Kirin 9000SL but promises better performance than the previous-generation Kirin 8 processors, for the mid-range lineup.

The chipset contains a 4+3+1 CPU architecture. It has four 1.84GHz small cores, three 2.19GHz medium cores, and one 2.40GHz large core. The chip is paired with Maleoon 910 GPU and has been installed on Nova 13 series, Nova Flip, and Nova 12 Pro.

Huawei is currently focusing on the Mate 70 series. The flagship lineup will likely launch next month with several new features as well as a powerful Kirin chip.

The device will further carry upgraded imaging features, improved and faster touch responses, and new satellite capabilities to enhance the user experience.

DigitalChatStation noted that the Huawei Nova 13 Pro has appeared on the Geekbench platform. It has the model number MIS-AL00 and showed notable scores.

The device has obtained 997 points in the single-core test and 2900 points in the multi-core test. Huawei has listed the 12GB RAM variant on the performance platform. Judging from the chipset’s CPU architecture, it appears to be Kirin 8000.

Kirin 8000 has a “4+3+1” octa-core framework. It contains four 1.84GHz small, three 2.19GHz medium cores, and one large core with a frequency of 2.40GHz. It will likely be paired with the company’s self-developed Maleoon 910 GPU.

Earlier, many netizens predicted that the Huawei Nova 13 series would come with HarmonyOS 4.4 software system. Although the current listing and tipster’s words reveal that the new high-end lineup will run on the HarmonyOS 4.2 version.

The listing does not reveal any other information about the device apart from the chip details and model number. Huawei will reveal the accurate parameters of Nova 13 and 13 Pro on October 22. Till then, you can book the phone at VMall.

Weibo tipster further shared some key specifications of the Nova 13 Pro. We are already familiar with these details but let’s have a quick recall again.

Expected Specifications

The device could feature a 1.5K equal-depth quad-curved display panel for a sleek design and improved image clarity. It may bring a pill-shape cutout with a dual-cam setup, just like the Huawei Nova 12 Pro. One of these lenses could be 60MP.

The rear side will bear a 50MP RYYB main camera. Nova 13 Pro will also support two-way satellite SMS capability to help out users when stuck in a “no-network” area.

Most of these features appear similar to the Nova 12 Pro. It would be worth seeing what major changes the device will bring over its predecessors apart from the design segment.

The post Huawei Nova 13 Pro with Kirin 8000 chip listed on Geekbench appeared first on Huawei Central.

According to the Geekbench 6 listing, the Huawei Nova Flip with model number PSD-AL00 achieved 1000 points on single-core and 2419 points on multi-core tests.

Being a mid-range folding handset, these points seem good enough. Yet the actual performance will be known after the device officially enters the consumer market.

The device model uses 12GB RAM and further coupled with Android 12 operating system. It runs on an octa-core processor with a 4+3+1 CPU architecture. Judging from the structure, the upcoming foldable likely equips the Kirin 8000 chip.

Inputs reveal that the chipset is clocked at 1.84 GHz base frequency. It contains four 1.84GHz small cores, three 2.19GHz medium cores, and one 2.40GHz large core.

Other than the Geekbench listing, a few Weibo tipsters shared an alleged mobile information page revealing Nova Flip runs on a Kirin 8000 chip. The same processor resides in the Nova 12 Pro with a 5G network and improved performance aspects.

Early leaks suggested that the Nova Flip foldable will adopt the Kirin 9010E chipset. But it seems Huawei will power the device with a slightly inferior yet efficient processor. Things will get more clear after the official release of the smartphone.

Identity:

Two months back, the PSD-AL00 5G device visited the 3C Certification database. Later on, a tipster confirmed that the Nova Flip codenamed PSD would soon launch in the consumer market. The company has also officially announced the device and started warming it up ahead of its release.

Nova Flip is coming with a 50MP rear main camera and HarmonyOS 4.2 software system. The device also consists of some AI features to enhance the user experience. As per the leaked specs, it could pack a 4400mAh battery with 66W charging support.

The square cover screen on the back is another eye-catching feature. It is larger than the Pocket 2 foldable and will feature a fun “Call-Emoji” feature. What else the device will bring on the stage will get clear the next week. Stay tuned.

The post Huawei Nova Flip goes on Geekbench with Kirin 8000 ahead of launch appeared first on Huawei Central.

Weibo tipster @FixedFocus says that the Kirin 8000 could be the last generation of the mid-range 8 series processor, and Huawei could hereafter end its journey.

Detailing the leak, the @summaryman says that the Chinese phone maker will now only focus on upgrading the Kirin 9000 series rather than 8 series chipsets. This further points out that all the Nova 13 models will run on the Kirin 9 processors.

Many netizens agreed with the input and said that Huawei should use the Kirin 8 series chip only for the Enjoy and SE models. It would be a perfect implementation over the Snapdragon 680 which has been a long support to these handsets.

Kirin 8 series – an experimental chip?

A few users also said that the Kirin 8000 chip has been a trial version with some basic capabilities. Though it’s time that Huawei should offer Kirin 9000 to the mid-range models and soon jump to more advanced chipsets for its high-end flagship devices.

Huawei launched the first Kirin 8 series chip (810) in 2019 with an octa-core structure and 4G capabilities. Kirin 820 5G and Kirin 820E 5G came in 2020 and 2021 respectively. All three chipsets are built on a 7nm process with core adjustments.

After a long while, the company unveiled a new Kirin 8000 chipset for the Nova 12 Pro smartphone as a better upgrade of the above-mentioned SoCs (system on chip).

Some previous reports stated that Huawei is developing a new mid-range Kirin 8 series chip and may launch it later this year. However, the latest input has raised questions about the Kirin 8 series’s existence in the future.
