On Tuesday, Huawei launched pre-sales of its Mate 60 Pro flagship phone on its official website without any advance publicity and two weeks before the official launch event, catching the domestic smartphone industry off guard and triggering heated online discussions.

The new model’s CPU performance outperformed the Snapdragon 888, although it did not quite match up to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Snapdragon 8+, according to the same report from AnTuTu.

I think this is the most impressive part considering that the snapdragon 888 is a 5nm chip. I guess the kirin 9000s is made with SMIC n+2 process or something even more advance.

    Ironically, the US government probably managed to break Google’s monopoly on Android by trying to kill Huawei.

      Um, no. If they’re still using Android then they’re only adding to the monopoly. The only way your comment would be true is if Huawei made their own operating system that wasn’t based off Android, and frankly nothing that has actually tried to kill Android has ever worked, not even Samsung’s attempt.

        Huawei’s appstore took off in a lot countries. That happened only thanks to the US government.

          Does their app store run on Android? Then it doesn’t really matter, it’s not toppling Android because it’s using Android. Samsung has an app store too, and Motorola, guess what? They all run on Android. What you’re wanting is something like Samsung’s Tizen, which was it’s own OS outside of Android. If you are specifically calling out the Play store, then that’s a completely different scenario.
