A new Kirin 8010 chip could power Huawei Nova 14 phones
Huawei Nova 14 series chip continues to be a part of the mystery, and the recent input says the mid-range lineup could use a new Kirin 8010 chipset. While the SoC belongs to the Kirin 8 series, it may deliver performance like Kirin 9020.
According to FixedFocus, Huawei can introduce a new 5G chip – Kirin 8010 with the Nova 14 smartphones. Despite being mid-range, the processor is expected to draw performance level with the Mate 70 Pro’s 9020 chipset.

The tipster implies that Kirin 8010 could use the 9020 chip packaging technology and offer a better performance boost over the Kirin 9000s.
Huawei has improved the Kirin 9020 chip design for the flagship Mate 70 handsets. The chip integrates the industry’s first 3GPP R18 5G-A SoC to build better network support in air-to-ground communication. It is 20% more power efficient than 9000s.
Early rumors claimed that the next-gen Nova models will feature the Kirin 9 series chipset. Although the latest input is quite in line with the company’s strategy.

Huawei has used a Kirin 8 series chip for Nova standard and Pro models, while featuring the Ultra variant with a 9-numbered SoC. We can expect the same plans for the upcoming Nova 14 series smartphones.
Simply put, Huawei could use Kirin 8010 for the standard and Nova 14 Pro, as well as launch the Nova 14 Ultra with the powerful 9020 5G flagship chipset.
Nova 14 series was expected to debut later this month. Though some Weibo tipsters suggested that Huawei has shifted the launch to May for unknown reasons.
Previously revealed leaks say that the Nova 14 series can bring a surprising design refresh. It may support 5.5G network and a multi-spectral lens like Mate 70.
Apart from design and chips, the Nova 14 models might adopt some major camera upgrades over their predecessors. The company hasn’t confirmed these rumored inputs so far, nor has it shared the launch time of the new handsets.
Though we may grab more details about the mid-range Nova 14 models in the upcoming weeks. Stay tuned.
