In-depth Teardown of the Huawei Mate70 Series: A Detailed Look at the Kirin 9020 Processor and HarmonyOS

Huawei's smartphones have always shrouded their core technologies in mystery, keeping consumers largely in the dark about the inner workings of their Kirin processors and key components. However, the efforts of domestic tech enthusiasts have finally shed light on the secrets of the Huawei Mate70 series. A deep teardown of the series has not only revealed detailed information about the Kirin 9020 processor, but also insights into the internal structure of the Kirin 9010. This provides valuable reference information for users eager to understand the performance of Huawei's new flagship phones, particularly given the recent positive news surrounding Huawei's new product releases.

Kirin 9010 vs. Kirin 9020: Core Parameter Comparison and Performance Analysis

• The re-emergence of the Kirin 9010 chip in the Huawei Mate70 series teardown videos has generated significant attention. This Huawei-developed chip features a CPU architecture of 22.3GHz + 62.18GHz + 41.55GHz and a Mali-G910 GPU clocked at 750MHz. The highly anticipated Kirin 9020 boasts even more powerful specifications: a CPU architecture of 22.5GHz + 62.15GHz + 41.6GHz and a Mali-G920 GPU running at 840MHz. Benchmark tests show that the Kirin 9020 significantly outperforms the Kirin 9010, explaining the exceptional performance and smooth user experience of the Huawei Mate70 Pro series.

Interestingly, both chips feature the mysterious "2035" marking. Speculation abounds regarding its meaning, with a common interpretation suggesting it represents the 35th week of 2020, the approximate time when Huawei's chip orders were disrupted due to supply chain interruptions from foundries like TSMC. "2035" thus symbolizes Huawei's commitment to independent chip development and its unwavering dedication to technological self-reliance.

Compared to the Kirin 9000S, the Kirin 9020 is 13% larger and noticeably thicker, indicating a completely redesigned chip, not just a simple upgrade. Crucially, the Kirin 9020 integrates a dedicated satellite communication module. This results in significantly enhanced performance and optimized power consumption. Actual tests show that the Kirin 9020 boasts at least a 20% reduction in power consumption compared to the Kirin 9000S. When running demanding games like Genshin Impact, frame rates have increased from around 40fps to near full frame rate performance. Conservatively, the Kirin 9020 represents a complete iteration of domestic chip technology, achieving performance improvements on par with global market trends.

The synergy between the Kirin 9020 processor and the native HarmonyOS is equally impressive. System upgrades reportedly deliver a performance boost of around 40%. This is sure to excite Huawei users, offering a completely refreshed user experience.

HarmonyOS: Architectural Optimization and Ecosystem Development

Huawei's CEO of the Consumer Business Group, He Gang, recently confirmed in an interview that Huawei will launch a full range of new phones with native HarmonyOS next year. He expressed strong confidence in the maturity of HarmonyOS, stating that it will achieve tighter integration with Kirin chips, fully leveraging the hardware's potential. He also emphasized that Huawei phones now almost exclusively use Kirin chips, eliminating reliance on Qualcomm, and explicitly stated that all chips in the Mate70 series are domestically produced. This signifies that Huawei phones have finally achieved 100% domestic chip production and are equipped with their self-developed HarmonyOS, completely breaking free from dependence on US chips and the Android system.

Compared to Android, HarmonyOS boasts numerous architectural optimizations. It removes unnecessary layers from the Android system, allowing direct hardware access and significantly improving system responsiveness and efficiency. Furthermore, HarmonyOS offers superior security and stability, providing users with a more reliable experience a key selling point.

However, HarmonyOS currently faces challenges in ecosystem development. Many mainstream applications have yet to fully adapt to HarmonyOS, requiring time for improvement. Nevertheless, HarmonyOS is constantly evolving, with immense future potential.

Future Outlook: The Rise of Domestic Chips and Operating Systems

The Kirin processor has already demonstrated impressive performance, and HarmonyOS continues to improve. We have reason to believe that Huawei will achieve unexpected success in next year's market competition. The rise of domestic chips and operating systems will bring a new landscape to the Chinese mobile market and transform the global technology industry. This is not just a technological breakthrough, but a significant milestone in China's technological self-reliance and innovation. Huawei's efforts serve as a role model for China's technological self-sufficiency and inject new vitality into global technological development. The future holds even greater promise. We look forward to seeing more innovation in domestic chips and operating systems, bringing consumers higher-quality products and services. Huawei's success inspires other Chinese technology companies to strive for progress, collectively driving the advancement of China's technology industry. In the near future, Chinese technology will undoubtedly hold a more significant position on the global stage. This will be a testament to the collective progress of the global technology industry and a demonstration of China's technological strength. We eagerly await witnessing the brilliant future of Chinese technology.
