Huawei Mate 50 should use a SoC Kirin 9010 realized at 3 nm. The conditional is a must given the conditions in which the Chinese company pours in this historical period. Currently the Mate 40 family of flagship smartphones uses the Kirin 9000 and, from the rumors that have emerged, it is very likely that it will also be the SoC of the P50 smartphones.
One of Huawei's difficulties, for several months now, is to have sufficient coverage of hardware components. This is to comply with the sale and post-sale of its products, such as replacing smartphones under warranty if compliance problems arise. So the Kirin 9010 is only on paper for now?
For now, yes, but with the passage of time Samsung would be the most accredited to produce a SoC to 3 nm, we speak for the end of 2021. There is also in line TSMC that, if things stay that way, it will be able to produce 3nm SoCs but will not be able to sell them for obvious Ban reasons. Mediatek, a company very close to Huawei, will only be able to achieve the result in late 2022.
Huawei P50, on the other hand, should continue on the path of the Kirin 9000 as, according to not rosy forecasts, the company will be able to contain the stocks necessary to guarantee the production and life of the units it will sell. The forecasts in fact, the market share will fall again and will settle on al 4% for the global market.
The situation is in the making but the fact that Huawei does not give up means that it has the margins to continue its business, with difficulty but will continue.
It is a great time to buy the Huawei P40 Lite. At just over 150 euros in its 128 GB version, you can find it here .
