However, it is believed that Huawei will have access to only 8 million Kirin 1020 chips with 10 million phones expected to be built. As a result Huawei could use the Kirin 1020 SoC on the Mate 40 Pro and the Snapdragon 865+ Mobile Platform or MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ on the Mate 40. Or it could stick to the Kirin chips on units sold in a particular market (or markets) and use the alternative chips elsewhere.

Meanwhile, Huawei fans are eagerly awaiting the unveiling of the Mate 40 and Mate 40 Pro; the Mate line is the manufacturer’s most technologically advanced handsets manufactured each year and having a 5nm chip driving the series should make the handsets even more powerful and energy-efficient. While some expect an October release for the phones there are some analysts calling for a one to two-month delay that could take the calendar into November or December before the second-half flagships are launched.
