Huawei's next flagship chipset to support 4K recording at 60 fps

19 August 2019
The Kirin 990 will finally catch up in terms of video capture.

Sort by:

well, i always record in 1080p anyways. but this is nice thing to know.

    Ha, they'd better do that otherwise I'll seriously get disappointed. What kind of late 2019 flagship doesn't support 4K60, honestly?

Unfortunately for Huawei at flagship level it seems Oneplus and Samsung have taken the lead and I do not think this years Mate 30 Pro will compete against the Note 10+ or Oneplus 7 Pro they have atleast matched Huawei's major advantages in battery life and charge speed or completely outdo them in major areas such as Samsung's amazing display and sound, and the 7 Pro's 90hz display... plus anyone with a brain knows there chipsets only scrape past some competitors because they release them 6-8 months later than everyone else.

                one thing I love about Huawei flagships , they always improve what they already have , and try to find a solution for what they bad at it

                the video quality is just awful on huawei flagships
                I am glad they try to fix it this year.

                I use galaxy note 9
                but I respect what huawei try to do with there flagship , they really push forward .

                  "Video capture has been a weak points of Huawei phones..."What about audio output?Majority of company's phones,according to GSMA reviews had sub par quality of the audio output,both volume and sound clarity.A 10V headphone amp plus dedicated DAC chip will cost them under $20.Why must that be such an issue on a $500+ phone?

                      FINALLY. I know Kirin is known for efficiency but when MediaTek's newest chip (M70) can pull it off, Huawei HAD to respond. Lol. Looking forward to it.
