Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

The Mate 70 is nearing its official launch date, which comes as no surprise, because one of the flagships belonging to Huawei’s latest series was recently pictured in a new leak. As the majority of you know, the company has a propensity to equip its high-end devices with various imaging sensors and in the latest live image, we can see five of them. New Mate 70 may use a design similar to the Mate 60 RS Ultimate, with all five sensors housed inside a circular housing Before the announcement of the Huawei Mate XT, there were a couple of occasions […]
The Mate 70 launch was previously rumored to be in October, but Huawei is now said to have delayed its upcoming flagship smartphone series because there is still work remaining for HarmonyOS NEXT. For those that do not know, the former Chinese giant was earlier reported to be ditching Android for good and completely transition to its in-house operating system so that it is free of any U.S. trade sanctions. Unfortunately, having the ambition to develop an elaborate custom platform is one thing, and going through with it in a few years is an entirely different scenario. Mate 70 Kirin […]
The Kirin 9000S that allowed Huawei to break free of the U.S. trade ban was mass produced on SMIC’s 7nm (N+2) technology, with the company maintaining its momentum with the Kirin 9010 that is found in the Pura 70 series. For the Mate 70 range, rumors have disseminated in multiple directions, with whispers claiming that the former Chinese giant would use SMIC’s 5nm process that the semiconductor manufacturer reportedly developed successfully. However, there appears to be a twist in Huawei’s plans, with one rumor stating that the next Kirin SoC powering the Mate 70 series would be mass manufactured on […]
China’s largest semiconductor manufacturing firm, SMIC, has reportedly achieved a new milestone and too, without the use of advanced EUV machinery that gives companies like Samsung and TSMC an edge in the cutting-edge chipmaking space. The latest information claims that using DUV equipment, the 5nm process has been completed, and SMIC is ready to mass produce the first batch of wafers. Huawei was previously said to be working closely with its local foundry partner to introduce a new Kirin SoC that will be found in the upcoming Mate 70 series for October later this year. No word on yields, but […]
Huawei will reportedly unveil its first 5nm chipset for the Mate 70 flagship series in October later this year, but previous rumors did not divulge the official name of the silicon. Fortunately, just a short time passed, and new information came through, claiming that the SoC would be called Kirin 9100, and it obtained a score of 1.1 million in AnTuTu as part of its initial performance run. Kirin 9100 was previously said to match the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1’s performance, but no benchmark was specified at the time The rumor originated from Weibo, with an individual going by the […]
As we wait for the official arrival of the P70 series, Huawei is rumored to introduce the direct successor to the Mate 60 lineup later this year, the Mate 70. The company is said to announce the new models in October, with its highlights being an upgraded Kirin chipset and improved imaging capabilities. Unfortunately, in-depth details of the SoC are yet to be unearthed, but looking at Huawei’s current efforts, it could be its most advanced silicon to date. The unnamed Kirin chipset powering the Mate 70 family could be Huawei’s first 5nm silicon, directly succeeding the Kirin 9000S With […]
Huawei’s re-entry into the smartphone market with its Kirin 9000S is regarded as a miracle in this industry, but that does not alter the fact that it is significantly slower than the competition. This is to be expected, as SMIC, Huawei’s foundry partner, is currently limited to mass producing 7nm wafers on older DUV equipment, meaning that technologically, it is inferior to Samsung and TSMC and will likely trail behind them in the long run. However, these limitations do not mean that future Kirin SoCs have to continue being slower, with the latest rumor claiming that the Mate 70 lineup […]
After the success of the Mate 60, Huawei likely intends to keep the momentum running on its home turf with the Mate 70 series as it prepares to go head-on with Apple’s iPhone 16 family. According to one tipster, the former Chinese giant will attempt to one-up its rivals by ordering a higher shipment of the Mate 70, and given how the company’s current-generation smartphones are performing in the region, these can cause trouble to the competition. Exact shipment volume of the Mate 70 was not shared by a tipster, but earlier statistics of the Mate 60 indicate that Huawei […]
