This week saw the exciting launch of the latest ARM® Mali™-T628 MP4 GPU based product, Huawei Technologies Honor 6. With its Hisilicon Kirin 920 processor based on ARM big.LITTLE™ processing technology and promising graphics benchmark scores, this latest offering from Huawei is making huge ripples in the Chinese smartphone market.
An impressive array of chips has been coming out of China in recent months. From the Rockchip RK3288 featuring the Mali-T760 through to the MediaTek MT6732, Chinese semiconductor companies are meeting the growing domestic demands for high performing yet cost efficient smartphones head on. Over the past two years smartphone shipments in China have nearly quadrupled and the market is starting to mature. Like the majority of smartphone markets, it is now one of two ends. While 1 billion consumers in China have a phone, only about 40% of these are smartphone owners, largely due to budget constraints. This leaves a potential market of 600 million customers for the OEMs who can deliver a desirable yet cost-effective device. At the other end of the scale, and where the latest release from Huawei falls, we have those who desire a premium superphone whose user experience sets the standard for the industry. While competition is strong from international products such as Apple’s iPhone 5S and Samsung’s Galaxy Note 3, shipments from local suppliers are increasing rapidly as their offerings become increasingly competitive with the combined benefit of lower prices.
HiSilicon’s latest chip, the Kirin 920, is one that can comfortable rival these competitors. With a quad-core ARM Cortex®-A15 and quad-core Cortex-A7 in a big.LITTLE processor configuration it offers both high performance for more intensive workloads and energy efficiency for day to day tasks – a truly heterogeneous approach. Combined with the Mali-T628 MP4, the processor is capable of not only driving a stunning 2560x1600 resolution display, 4K video capture and playback and a 13MP camera with HDR support, but also achieving some impressive early results in the AnTuTu benchmark as highlighted in the launch presentation.
On top of it all, it is the first LTE device to support LTE Cat6 in WW and support the maximum, super-fast download speed of 300MB/s.
Devices such as the Huawei Honor 6 will accelerate the expansions of the Android Gaming and GPU Compute ecosystems in China. The gaming experience on these devices with such high levels of processing technology promises to be incredible and as they succeed in reaching the hands of more consumers it will encourage developers to create even more graphically challenging, visually impressive applications to enrich the user experience further. The Huawei Honor 6 is yet another proof point that the Chinese marketplace is the one to be watching.
