Huawei mobile phones can be used for 3 years without freezing – Yu Chengdong

Yesterday, Huawei held a massive global conference where it released a plethora of products. In addition to the Huawei Mate 40 series, the company also released Huawei Sound, a 50W vertical charger, Huawei X Gentle Monster Eyewear II, Huawei Watch GT 2 Porsche Design, Huawei FreeBuds Studio, and so on. In addition to the Huawei mobile phones and gadgets, we also got more information on the Kirin 9000 SoC as well as a Kirin 9000E chip.

Yu Chengdong, Huawei consumer business CEO and executive director recalled the promise of the company four years ago. According to him, the company promised that Huawei mobile phones could be used for 18 months without freezing. However, this promise now extends to 36 months. In other words, Huawei smartphones with Kirin 9000 can 3 years without freezing.

Furthermore, test data shows that after 36 months in use, the fluency of Huawei Mate 40 Pro only drops by 2.5%. This is quite impressive considering that many three years old phones no longer get updates.

As we may all know, the Huawei Mate 40 Pro uses the Kirin 9000 5G chip, a 5nm process chip. This processor brings faster performance, lower heat, and a more energy-efficient operating experience. According to Yu Chengdong, the Kirin 9000 chip integrates 15.3 billion transistors, uses an eight-core CPU, a 24-core Mali-G78 GPU, 2 large cores + 1 small core NPU, and integrates Huawei’s most advanced ISP technology.

Below is the specs sheet of the smartphones that use the Huawei Kirin 9000 SoC. Please note that the Mate 40 comes with a Kirin 9000E SoC, a lower version of the Kirin 9000.
