Honor President, George Zhao said that the Honor V30’s Kirin 990 + Balong 5000 5G solution is 4-6 months advanced and ahead of its competitor, and it’s nearly one and a half years ahead of the rivals in the flagship 5G SoC.

Honor V30 uses a dual 7nm chip combination of Kirin 990 processor + Balong 5000 modem. On the other hand, V30 Pro is powered by all in one chip Kirin 990 5G, providing the ability for faster processing and supports both SA/NSA dual-mode 5G networks.

During the event, Honor V30 compared with other flagship smartphones, Honor V30 achieved a 69% higher download speed and a 73% increase in upload speed.

HiSilicon Kirin 990 was officially launched during the IFA 2019 comprising two variants: a regular 7nm processed version and a 5G modem integrated 7nm EUV+ version.

The Kirin 990 embed two big Cortex-A76 based cores at 2.86Ghz + two middle Cortex-A76 cores at 2.36Ghz + four small A55 cores at 1.95Ghz. The overall processing performance of the Kirin 990 series increased over 20% and energy efficiency increased by 30%.

Huawei last year introduced its Dual NPU structure, to harness new AI capabilities. To push the AI performance even further, the Kirin 990 adopts DaVinci NPU architecture including 2 Big-Core + 1 Tiny-Core.
