The Huawei P40 series, which debuted in March this year, are expected to have an entry-level Huawei P40 Lite. In terms of the processor of this new phone, there are reports that it will be equipped with a frequency-reduced version of the Dimensity 1000L from MediaTek.
If this is true, Huawei will use MediaTek 5G chips for the first time in the P series product line.
In the past, the entry-level models of Huawei P series products will be equipped with their own Kirin processors, but the Huawei P40 Lite, which will be launched this year, may undergo some changes.
It is reported that this Huawei new opportunity is equipped with the MT6883 processor from MediaTek, which is the down-frequency version of the legendary Dimensity 1000L. Test machines have previously obtained Wi-Fi certification and support Wi-Fi 6 technology.
Although the authenticity of the news has not been confirmed, at the end of last year, there was news from Taiwanese media that MediaTek's 5G chips for the low-end market will be purchased by Huawei.
In addition, Huawei's own mid-range 5G chip Kirin 820 processor will not be mass-produced until the second quarter of this year, so Huawei P40 Lite may indeed use MediaTek 5G chips for the first time based on the need to support 5G networks.
