Although Huawei has now encountered the problem of supply outages, the inventory of Kirin 9000 series chips has always been a mystery. No one knows how much the Kirin 9000 was produced that year, because from time to time there are Models of the Kirin 9000 series chips on sale. Therefore, the industry is very much looking forward to the day when Huawei solves the problem, after all, there is no Kirin comparison competition, you see what Qualcomm Snapdragon has become.
February 10 is definitely a good day for Huawei Kirin 9000, because on this day Huawei Kirin officially announced that Huawei Kirin 9000 won the "2021 Most Popular 5G Flagship Chip" award issued by Communications World. For Huawei, this award is well deserved, because in 2021, what kind of performance of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 series is clear to everyone, and MediaTek does not have a processor at the flagship level to compete with Huawei and Qualcomm. It seems that the shipments of the models of the Kirin 9000 platform are not much, but the models equipped with the Kirin 9000 are unusually stable, at least not as loud as the Snapdragon 888 series that shouts "How to Train Your Dragon" every day.
Unfortunately, Huawei has encountered a supply outage problem, and the Kirin 9000 has been unable to produce since September 16, 2020. It seems that before Huawei produced the 10 million-piece Kirin 9000, it will always be a day when it will be light. Therefore, we see that many Huawei models have Snapdragon 888 versions, which is also Huawei's most helpless move. Although Huawei mobile phones without the blessing of Kirin chips are like losing their souls, at least Huawei's mobile phone business can survive. Consumer recognition of this brand is still the highest (domestic) but now due to chips, do not support 5G and other issues to slow down huawei's pace of progress.
However, what needs to be told to everyone Although the Kirin chip cannot be produced (temporarily), Huawei's investment in HiSilicon Kirin is still continuing, and the Development of chips by the Huawei HiSilicon team has not stopped. I believe that the problem will always be solved one day, and the Kirin chip will definitely return to us again.
