HUAWEI nova 12 Series to launch with Kirin 830 chip

Huawei could be looking to launch its HUAWEI nova 12 Series powered by Kirin 8 series chipset.

According to tipster via Weibo, the new chipset, dubbed as “Kirin 830”, will launch alongside the nova 12 Series by the end of the year.

The latest leak aligns with earlier rumor that the vanilla model, the HUAWEI nova 12, will feature HiSilicon Kirin 830 chipset. This smartphone will boast three rear cameras, a 60 MP front-facing camera, and support for 88W charging.

On the other hand, the Pro variant will come equipped with the Kirin 9000S chipset—the same chip used on the recently announced HUAWEI Mate 60 Series in China.

Kirin 830 reportedly performs on par with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 778G or Snapdragon 870. However, an even bigger concern arises regarding the manufacturer of the chipset, as US companies, which hold the rights to 5G technologies and patents, currently prohibit trading with Huawei and its subsidiary chipset maker HiSilicon.
