Kirin 990 chipset TO support 4K at 60FPs video support

Smartphones of the Huawei P series were always renowned for their powerful camera functions. Because of this, these handsets were regarded as the world’s best cameraphones. However, this title is currently included in Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10 Plus. The Huawei P20 Pro and the P30 Pro last year have many developments in the field of camera design. But video recording is still inadequate, partly because the chipsets Kirin 970 and Kirin 980 don’t support 4K 60fps. Will the Kirin 990 be fixed?

The excellent news however is that Neowin revealed that the Kirin 990 Processor supports 4K 60fps video recording at the Huawei Developers Conference conducted in Shenzhen last week. It will make its debut on the upcoming series of Mate 30 in Huawei. On September 19, the new smartphones from this line will hit the market.

By the way, the competitors of Huawei already support video recording 4 K 60fps. Say, in autumn 2017 Apple launched iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X. They all promote this function, as you think. Qualcomm later introduced the Snapdragon 845 chipset to this function as well. In the S9 series launched in the spring of 2018, Samsung supported this feature. Huawei therefore turns out a couple of steps back compared to his competitors.

Besides, we learned that the upcoming Huawei HiSilicon Kirin 990 is the first one to use infrared (EUV) method module manufacture from pure-play funderies. Huawei said it cost over $300 million to develop the Kirin 980 project. It first started in 2015. Initially. They studied the 7 nm system requirements together with TSMC in the beginning days. It took 36 months to complete the research and development phase.
