Huawei Kirin chip is still moving forward, despite the difficulties it faces.
The company recently quietly released the nova 7 SE 5G Lehuo Edition, using the new Kirin 820E processor.
The nova 7 SE Lehuo Edition is a revision of the original nova 7 SE, while the Kirin 820E is a revision of the Kirin 820 and Huawei's first six-core chip.
The chip includes three A76 2.22GHz large cores and three A55 1.84GHz small cores. Compared to the Kirin 820, it has one less 2.36GHz A76 mega-core and one smaller 1.84GHz A55 core.
It is still manufactured at 7nm and continues to integrate Mali-G57 MP6 GPU, Balong 5000 5G baseband, and Da Vinci architecture NPU cores.
The nova 7 SE Lehuo version is priced from RMB 2,299 ($354), which is RMB 1,000 lower compared to the Kirin 820 version.
It's worth mentioning that Huawei also released a nova 7 SE 5G Huoli edition at the same time, with the processor changed from Kirin 820 to Dimensity 800U, and the price still starts at RMB 2,299.
