Huawei Mate 20: Kirin 980, Wireless Charging, In-Display Fingerprint, Firmware Revealed

A Smartphone is nothing without a software mastering all of these components. This is what made Android is really successfull, of course, because the OS is completely free to use for manufacturers.

While new smartphones are about to come out for the end of the year, what happens if we reveal the operating system of the Huawei Mate 20 before it release? It's simple: tons of information leaks. And that's exactly what happens today, while the Funky Huawei website; FunkyHuawei.club has managed to recover a firmware for the future Huawei Mate 20.

Huawei Mate 20 Supported Wireless Charging

XDA Developers has made his files and brings us the result of his discoveries. We learn on this occasion that the future high-end Huawei Mare 20 will be well equipped HiSilicon Kirin 980, more powerful successor Kirin 970 which should be engraved in 7 nm FinFET. It should also be officially presented at the Huawei keynote at IFA 2018, which will soon take place. It would be supported by 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB RAM of storage, we still dont know but other variants could exist.

For the rest of its specifications the classic Mate 20 should have a 6.3-inch screen and a 4000 mAh battery. Moreover, on the range of autonomy, the wireless charging seems confirmed by this firmware leak. What more to indicate that the back of Huawei Mate 20 would be naturally made of glass, other materials blocking induction.

In-Display Fingerprint Scanner for Huawei Mate 20 Pro

The firmware is also a bit talkative about the big brother of Huawei Mate 20, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro. It confirms for example the presence of an In-Display fingerprint scanner on the device, as well as (if you can doubt it) the integration of the Kirin 980.

Alas, these are the only information he reveals about the larger model. This is the one that particularly interests us. XDA Developers seems to indicate that the firmware of Huawei Mate 20 Pro will also be in its possession soon, so we should hear a little more about this model in the coming days.

Android 9.0 P and EMUI 9.0 Game Support

Good news too: the firmware proves that the Huawei Mate 20 and Huawei Mate 20 Pro will immediately have the right to Android 9.0 P and the interface EMUI in version 9.0. XDA Developers indicates that it could not test related apps by loading them on Huawei Mate 10 Pro using Android P.

This could mean that Huawei has drastically changed its interface for this new version, especially since it brings a wide reorganization of elements. We can therefore hope that the criticisms concerning EMUI have been heard on this next version
