Honor flagship smartphone will be released for the first time not on Huawei Kirin processor

Huawei recently announced that it is selling the Honor brand. This, as expected, will affect the products of the former

subsidiary division. Sources said that the flagship Honor smartphone will be released for the first time not on the Huawei Kirin processor.

We are talking about the Honor V40 series. According to the insider, we should not expect the Kirin 9000 platform in it.

As a reminder, the Honor V30 and V30 Pro usedlast year's top-end Kirin 990 chipset. However, due to the problems caused by American sanctions, this tradition will be forgotten. It seems that Huawei simply would not have enough Kirin 9000 processors for its smartphones if it decided to give them away to others. The company received these chipsets in a limited batch due to American requirements.

Sources suggest that instead of Kirin 9000, Honor V40 smartphones will be equipped with MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ SoC.
