Upgraded Kirin 9020 5G chip apparently coming for Huawei Pura 80

Huawei can use an upgraded Kirin 9020 5G chip for the upcoming Pura 80 series. While the company uses a new processor for its flagship phones, it might simply upgrade an existing chipset performance for the next-gen Pura smartphones.

According to SmartPikachu, the Huawei Pura 80 series may equip a Kirin 9020 5G chip but with upgraded performance. The firm could introduce a new derivative of the Mate 70 Pro’s processor with optimized functioning aspects.

The tipster adds that the company will upgrade the industrial production of the Kirin 9020 5G chip for Pura 80 models. It will also improve the power consumption ability of the chip to deliver better energy efficiency.

Huawei mobile chips have been more mysterious than any other phone’s processors. With every upcoming Huawei device, the ambiguity around its chip gives rise to new rumors. Perhaps, the Pura 80 is no change in this direction.

Earlier, the same tipster suggested that Huawei could adopt an upgraded 5G Kirin chip for the upcoming Pura 80 series. But looks like the company has new plans on this matter. It may stick to the same 9020 chip, improving it to further extent.

Pura 80 chip details are swirling in the rumor section and are uncertain. Hence, let’s take this input with a grain of salt at the moment and wait for official info on this matter.

The next Pura lineup is said to go official in May. Although specs upgrades could delay the launch process to July. The device is expected to surprise consumers with iconic changes and a self-developed innovative camera setup on the back.

High-end Pura variants can adopt a dual-layer OLED screen and Huawei’s self-made camera system. Meanwhile, the company could use a new style lens module this time. Instead of a triangular design, the firm can use a quadrant framework.
