Huawei may use Gen 1 Snapdragon chip in P60

Leaks of the Huawei P60 series are coming out now where and it is reported that the phone won’t use a new Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset as it may remain on Gen 1 of the 8+ series.

Inputs coming from a Weibo tipster reveal that the Huawei P60 series won’t use Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset instead the company intends to use Generation 1. For your information, the company is packing this chip in the Huawei Mate 50 series.

The Huawei P60 currently equips Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip. Although the performance and power consumption control are better than before, it is still half a generation behind the second-generation Snapdragon 8.

What is it?

In the past, Huawei launched a flagship processor for the Mate series smartphones and uses the same chipset in the next P series phones. This could be the fact of the smartphone.

Since the phone maker is likely to unveil the P60 series in two models, the company may unveil the standard version with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and the latter with Gen 2.

Still, using Gen 1 in the standard model and Gen2 in the Pro version makes sense in all aspects. It would be interesting to see that happen. On the other hand, it could also be related to the supply chain issues but we don’t have any confirmation on this matter so far.

Leak reveals that the Huawei P60 series will bring new camera technologies that will help you to take high quality and brightness-rich photographs. The phone could ensure such camera performance with a large Sony IMX sensor. On the other side, the phone’s cover exposure shows that there’s a new camera design coming with this flagship.
