[Update: False] Huawei P60 to feature 14nm Kirin 9100: Rumor
July 23 – Update: False
A well-known tipster from Weibo (link) has now jumped into this matter and confirmed that there’s no new Huawei Kirin chipset named as “Kirin 9100” in the production pipeline at the moment. To be mentioned, there’s no official Huawei statement on the next Kirin chipset or Kirin 9100 at the moment.
Our take:
It’s possible that Huawei could go for the Kirin 9100, in terms of naming convention, but using low transistors of 14nm in a flagship could be a hard choice to make, while other flagships are proceeding towards 3nm and 2nm technology nodes in the coming year. However, we’ll look further into the matter and keep you posted.
July 21, 2022: Original Story
Currently, Huawei P50 Pro is the latest flagship offered by the Chinese tech maker. This flaghip comes with a variety of different features, a dual ring camera system on the rear, and a beautiful exterior design that catches consumers’ eyes. Amid the Mate 50 series launch heat, there is a rumor that has just been spotted on Weibo regarding the Huawei P60 series.
According to the rumor, the Huawei P60 series could launch with a 14nm Kirin 9100 processor with 14nm chipset technology, which is absolutely disturbing to see. However, the madness doesn’t stop here, the user wrote that this chipset will be made with 14nm 3D packaging. The notes further read that this 14nm chipset will be comparable to a 5nm chip.
Notably, the Chinese tech maker isn’t formally commenting on this. On the other hand, the Huawei Mate 50 series is on its way to the launch event and we’ll check to see what happens next.
On the other hand, another Weibo user jumped into the matter and shows disagreement with the first Weibo user.
“The Kirin 9100 will use a 14nm 3D packaging process and will be launched by the Huawei P60. Don’t look at the 14nm process, but its performance is comparable to the 5nm process chip, which is too outrageous, right? Use the 14nm process as 5nm… ?” the second user posted on this matter.
Reality:
Currently, Huawei cannot make new chipsets due to U.S. sanctions. On the other hand, we cannot compare the performance of 14nm vs 5nm on board. Even though Huawei do make substantial progress but the performance and the build process for both 14nm and 5nm processor will be different in all aspects.
Huawei Mate 50:
The Mate 50 series could release by the end of August, and it will be jam-packed with new features, including a new camera imaging system. The phone will be promoted along with being among the first to come with the HarmonyOS 3.0 operating system pre-installed.
Although Huawei Mate 50 is set to arrive soon, thus according to prior experience, Huawei has been unable to introduce two flagship phones in the same year. So there is no chance of the launch of the P60 this year. But we can expect that it could be launched in 2023.
Let’s see in the future, how much the rumor of the Huawei P60 series comes packed with a 14nm Kirin 9100 processor comes true.
Huawei Mate 50:
The launch of Huawei’s new flagship series is imminent. Although the Huawei Mate 50 to be launched will have the latest features and specifications, like a 5G mobile case, which can enable 5G in 4G smartphones.
The Huawei Mate 50 series will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 4G chipset and will be the first to arrive factory packed with the HarmonyOS operating system. The Huawei Mate 50 series brings new excitement into the air, featuring the XMAGE camera system.
Huawei P60 Series will come with a new camera system and the design is attracting many peoples in the tech community. Now, the anticipation reached new levels for the Huawei P60 series with the revelation of funny back panel cases.
These cases are utilized according to the Huawei P60 series camera and provide a funny experience around the device. For example, Pepsi and Coca-Cola can design is fully creatively and hit directly into our parodical senses.
The other one is that well-known Nokia phone design along with a calculator and Leica camera. These are awesome adaptations for a rear cover.
However, these are the creation of the internet and maybe only available via certain retailers in China, if produced.
Still, there’s a lot more explore about the Huawei P60 series and you can check the entire coverage in our dedicated P60 series section here.
There are just a few days before the launch of the Huawei Mate X3 and the CEO of Huawei Consumer Business Group promoted this upcoming flagship’s weight and thickness and called it a super thin device.
In an exclusive interview published via the Huawei Weibo account, Huawei Mobile CEO told that the new folding phone Mate X3 has achieved both in terms of body thickness and body weight, which is close to the level of an eatable bar.
In addition, the smartphone has an optimized screen, including the reliability of the hinge and drop resistance. Also, Huawei has made these changes without sacrificing the performance of this device.
Huawei is promoting this upcoming foldable device as a big change in the mobile industry. The company last released Mate X2 two years ago and now Huawei is ready to bring a new addition.
A past leak reveals that Huawei Mate X3 will come with a 7.85-inch main foldable display. On the other hand, the phone will help users to operate with a 6.45-inch cover screen once closed.
The Mate X3 is equipped with an 8-inch foldable screen with 16.7 million colors, an OLED flexible panel, a 90Hz refresh rate, a 180 Hz touch sampling rate, and a screen resolution of 2480 x 2200 pixels.

Huawei P60 series will launch on March 23 and it will only bring 4G but there could come with a new 5G case. This addition recently got certified by China Compulsory Certification (3C).
3C certified a new SOYEA Technology device with model SY108-698. The company for this device is well known for its 5G case designed for the Huawei P50 and Mate 50 series. And SY108-698 is likely to be the case for the upcoming Huawei P60 series.
However, we need to know more information about this case, as there are no confirmations available about its launch. Still, we can wait as the Huawei P60 series will require a 5G case in order to provide a 5G experience.
Until then, let’s check the details of the Huawei P50 and Mate 50 Series 5G case.
This 5G case product equips an eSIM chip. Besides, it also consists of a 5G modem and some advanced functions that change a 4G device into 5G.
It weighs 52 grams with a large surface thickness of 3.2mm. Alongside, it has gained a simple and elegant light gray and black color over the leather material.
Users who want to use a 5G phone case need to select the main SIM card first. Then enable the eSIM facility with the main card support. Thereafter, follow the on-screen instructions pop-up by the cover to get 5G network access.
