Huawei just announced the Pura 80 family, including a new Ultra. As has become the norm for the company, it didn’t reveal which chipsets are powering these phones – officially, Huawei only says that they are 36% faster than their Pura 70 counterparts and that’s it.
The Huawei Pura 80 Pro+ and 80 Ultra are powered by Kirin 9020
Folks over at Weibo already shared some hands-on photos with the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra, which is rumored to use the same chipset as the Pura 80 Pro+ – the Kirin 9020 that was also featured in the Mate 70 series. The Pura 70 series used the older Kirin 9010.
Kirin 9020 is an in-house design from HiSilicon with three Taishan cores: Main (1 at 2.5GHz), Middle (three at 2.15GHz) and Little (four at 1.6GHz). Note that two bigger cores have hyperthreading and run two threads each – this is why some software shows them as 2+6+4 instead of the actual 1+3+4. The GPU is a Maleoon 920 at 840MHz.
More evidence of the Kirin 9020 inside the Pura 80 Pro+ and Ultra
It’s not clear which chip is used in the Huawei Pura 80 Pro – it might be the same Kirin 9020, but we’ll have to wait on confirmation for that. As for the vanilla Pura 80, some tipsters claim that it uses the Kirin 9020A, a down-clocked variant of the 9020 with its three CPU clusters running at 2.4GHz, 2.0GHz and 1.6GHz.
The Pura 80 and 80 Pro are configured with 12GB of RAM. Storage ranges from 256GB base to 1TB. The Pura 80 Pro+ and Ultra have 16GB of RAM instead and 512GB or 1TB storage. All four run HarmonyOS 5.1.
