After weeks of speculation, it’s finally confirmed: the HUAWEI Pura 80 Series is powered by the Kirin 9020 chipset, the latest innovation from Hisilicon.
The announcement comes hot on the heels of the device’s global debut, putting an end to rumors surrounding the flagship’s processor.
This confirmation marks a significant step forward for Huawei, as the brand continues to showcase its in-house technology and reaffirm its position in the global smartphone arena.
Breaking Down the Kirin 9020
The Kirin 9020 isn’t just another chip; it’s a performance-driven powerhouse designed to handle everything from demanding apps to mobile photography and entertainment.
The architecture is built around one high-performance Taishan core clocked at 2.5GHz, supported by three balanced Taishan cores at 2.15GHz and four efficiency Taishan cores at 1.6GHz.
This smart combination balances raw power with energy efficiency, ensuring the Pura 80 Series runs smoothly without sacrificing battery life.
Interestingly, two of its Taishan cores support hyperthreading, allowing them to process multiple tasks simultaneously. In fact, some systems may even identify the Kirin 9020 as a 2+6+4 configuration instead of its actual 1+3+4 setup, highlighting its advanced multi-tasking capabilities.
Graphics Powered by Maleoon 920 GPU
For visuals, Huawei has paired the Kirin 9020 with the Maleoon 920 GPU, running at 840MHz. This GPU is designed to push the limits of mobile graphics, delivering smoother visuals, faster frame rates, and better stability during demanding use cases such as mobile gaming, 4K video streaming, and creative editing.
This makes the Pura 80 Series an attractive choice for content creators and tech enthusiasts alike, perfectly aligning with Huawei’s focus on photography, videography, and entertainment performance.
What It Means for Users
With the Kirin 9020, users of the Pura 80 Series can expect:
- Enhanced multitasking with hyperthreading-enabled cores
- Improved gaming experience thanks to the Maleoon 920 GPU
- Balanced efficiency between performance and battery usage
- Optimized AI capabilities for photography, apps, and productivity
- Future-ready performance for demanding apps and long-term use
In short, this chipset elevates the user experience, making the Pura 80 Series a strong contender in the flagship smartphone market.
Looking Ahead: The Kirin 9030
While the Kirin 9020 is making headlines, Huawei has hinted at something even more exciting on the horizon. Reports suggest that the upcoming Kirin 9030—expected to debut with the next Mate Series—will push boundaries even further, offering faster speeds and more advanced efficiency.
If the 9020 is the warm-up act, the Kirin 9030 is tipped to be the showstopper. For fans of Huawei’s innovation, this means there’s even more to look forward to later this year.
