Now, new information has surfaced regarding the smartphone. The Huawei Mate 9 might be announced on the 1st of September with some extraordinary specifications including the Kirin 970 chipset.

Today, an insider named old Yao released information on Weibo saying that the upcoming “Mate 9 will feature 10nm Kirin 970 chipset. Kirin lineup of processors is internally developed by Huawei. MediaTek is working on their Helio X30 (MT6799) processor, which could be used in a variant of the Mate 9.

As reported previously, the MediaTek Helio X30 chipset might feature a single 2.8GHz Artemis core, four 2.2GHz Cortex-A53 cores, and four 2GHz Cortex-A35 cores, along with complete new PowerVR 7XT GPU, which will take care of graphics on high-end smartphones.
