We know that for today’s business users, a fast and functional smartphone is just the beginning”.

With over 100 million units sold, Huawei’s Kirin chipsets showcase the company’s deep understanding of the user’s need for a fast mobile device that’s intuitive and reliable. The Huawei Mate 9 Series debuts the premium Kirin 960 chipset with Huawei’s Machine Learning Algorithm.

The Kirin 960 is the world’s first chipset to feature an ARM Cortex-A73/A53 Octa-core CPU and Mali G71 Octa-core GPU. The CPU delivers the best multi-core performance among all smartphone SoCs, while reducing power consumption by 15%.

The GPU boasts a 180% percent performance uplift and a 40% improvement in energy efficiency compared to its predecessor. The Kirin 960 also takes full advantage of the pioneering Vulkan graphics standard on Android 7.0, increasing graphics performance by up to 400 percent.
