Fake Huawei Kirin 9100 5G screenshot goes viral

A fake Huawei Kirin 9100 5G chipset screenshot is now going viral on the Chinese micro-blogging site, Weibo and we’ve closely examined the situation to let you know.

The screenshot claims to belong to Huawei Mate 60 Pro+, which seems quite contradictory to the subject. Why? Because this year, Huawei may not choose to bring a “Pro+” version, instead we may see a “GTS” (Read more). However, the company may continue to unveil the Mate RS Porsche Design model.

Looking more into this, Huawei Mate 60 Pro+ in the screenshot is equipped with HarmonyOS 4.0. This is quite true as the company will equip this phone with a brand new operating system.

However, a tipster from Weibo suggests that there will new outlook changes to witness in the upcoming HarmonyOS. But we are awaiting specific details matters.

Given the fact the screenshot is primarily focusing on Kirin 9100 5G, many people related to Huawei have found this fake. Because a flagship Kirin chipset with 5G is not launched by Huawei after 2020 and there’s no possibility in the near future.

With Huawei Mate 60?

Yes, the intention for the screenshot sharing is to relate the chipset to the Huawei Mate 60 series. Because people all over the tech industry speculating about the return of 5G in the next Mate series devices. However, the company has not given any official node on this matter.

Meanwhile, past reports suggest that Huawei is very likely to bring 5G with the Huawei Mate 60 series but it won’t be with a Kirin chipset. Instead, Huawei has planned to use Qualcomm Snapdragon Gen 2 and there may be a combination of a separate 5G baseband solution.

Therefore, the phone may be thicker than the Mate 50 but the actual appearance remained unknown. We hope that the Huawei Mate 60 series surpasses our expectations and come up with powerful hardware and software solutions.
