Huawei announced this week that mobile phone shipments have exceeded 100 million units. He Gang, president of mobile phone product line, also revealed to the media that it is not a problem to complete 200 million units this year. To achieve this goal, some new products are still needed, except for the newly released nova 3 /3i, there is even more heavy Mate flagship.
Recently, the well-known broketer Roland Quandt took the lead in stealing some information from Mate 20 Lite, such as the code name 'Sydney (Sydney)', and has at least two models of Sydney M and Sydney I. Although there is no further information, Roland's personal guess Yes, one is the back fingerprint, and the other is the front screen fingerprint. For this news, XDA God Mishaal also followed up to confirm, he also saw the Sydney code from some firmware information.
However, it should be noted that this time the protagonist is Mate 20 Lite, not Mate 20. The 'Lite' suffix is a naming method for Huawei to sell models overseas, but historical experience, whether it is P20 Lite or Mate10 Lite, the configuration shape is often quite different from the standard version, for example, the two Lites are all Kirin 659 chips.
At present, the chip of Mate 20 Lite is probably the newly released Kirin 710 chip. The chip is a successor of Kirin 659 and has a good performance. Back to Mate 20, in theory, it will launch the Kirin 980 chip. This week, it is reported that this SoC is expected to be unveiled during the German IFA show in September.
