Huawei phones are all just about the specs. The camera on the iPhone 11 Pro is the best, same for the battery and CPU performance and durability.

Huawei should stick to mid-rangers.

      Kangal, 01 Oct 2019If it did, they would be banned from using the Cortex A76 C... moreNot sure but maybe they simply don't have access to the newer cores and already had a perpetual license ot the older ones? Kinda like how current devices (P30) still have Play Services despite the ban.

                Well when comes to camera huawei easily outbeats every ciompetition and any brand.
                When comes to phone specs is the same. Top Huawei phone of the year is always the best.
                Other competition cant even try to compete because for same or bigger price they offer a bit or far worsse device.
                Now the Kirin 1000 will be like brand new Buggati Chiron made for Geneva for several milions in price which has been made just and only a single piece.

                    Of course they will, every year they debut their newest chip and the first to get it are the mate series, no surprise here. We'll just have to wait and see how the situation will develop regarding the ban

                      Kangal, 01 Oct 2019If it did, they would be banned from using the Cortex A76 C... moreI thought Anonymous said it because he/she wanted to drop a typical "Huawei is banned from US and now they can't even use the newest ARM CPU cores hahaha pathetic company" type of comment.

                        Huawei is seriously killing it, and I'm absolutely loving that!
                        The new Mate 30 Pro is an absolute beast, and with the Note10+, it's one of the best phones around.

                          Kangal, 01 Oct 2019If it did, they would be banned from using the Cortex A76 C... morenahh... simple. he was just not updated i guess.

                            realitychecker, 01 Oct 2019The ban did not affected ARM to Huawei. ARM themselves clar... moreIf it did, they would be banned from using the Cortex A76 CPU as well. So clearly they had other reasons to reuse the A76 for the slightly updated model instead of the newer A77.

                            So then why is Anonymous saying the ban was the primary reason for it? Maybe he's just blowing smoke. Or is trying to stir sympathy for Huawei or hatred against USA or Trump. There's a lot of blame shifting going on these days.

                              Kangal, 01 Oct 2019If Huawei was banned from using ARM license for the Kirin 9... moreThe ban did not affected ARM to Huawei. ARM themselves clarified that recently.

                                Anonymous, 01 Oct 2019Nope.. its because of the ban. Huawei's CEO has talked abou... moreIf Huawei was banned from using ARM license for the Kirin 990... then the Kirin 990 should NOT have an ARM Cortex A76 cpu. I agree that Huawei lied, perhaps moreso than other companies. But your reasoning on this topic is a little flimsy.

                                Besides, the other competitors are waiting for next year to do the Cortex A77, so Huawei was in no way under pressure to strive away from the A76 cores. Perhaps they might have to do some catching up in 2020 but its still not a big deal for them. The bigger deal for them is to have Google Services running on their AndroidOS phones. And even bigger deal is for them to install 5G antennas in First-World Nations. But their biggest issue seems to be having root ties to the CCP, where they do not have freedoms like other corporations like Nokia, Ericsson, Samsung, Apple, Google etc etc.

Then you will find its pretty obvious what happened. A big Chinese company lying publicly is not the first time. . No big deal, we just have to think for our selves and not be mindless fanboys

                                      Gobinath, 01 Oct 2019I can't find any reason for not using a77 in 990 processorApparently they weren't able to clock the A77 to more than 2.1Ghz in the FAB , so they thought they can continue with A76 cores for their Kirin990

                                      This may change next year.
