[Android General] ninu elza:
The world's third-largest Smartphone manufacturer Huawei has travelled a long way to develop their own powerful chipset and here comes the latest SoC (System on Chip) - Kirin 650. Kirin 650 makes a new breakthrough on enhanced battery life and performance. Kirin 650 is the direct successor to the Kirin 620 chipset, which is mainly used for low-budget Smartphone. This Kirin 650 chipset is powerful enough to compete with other chipset of the same range.

Kirin 650 Specifications

Huawei Kirin 650 chipset is integrated with an octa-core CPU, 4x Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.7GHz and 4x Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 2GHz (octa-core A53 (4 × 1.7GHz + 4 × 2.0GHz) ) big. LITTLE architecture and ARM’s Mali T830 GPU and it make new breakthroughs in prolonging battery life. In addition, Huawei Kirin 650 comes with Dual SIM LTE Cat.7 (300Mbit/s) technology, 16nm technology, and i5 processor.

Kirin 650: Significantly improved performance

Kirin 650 is based on 16nm FinFET plus process technology of TSMC. 16nm FinFET plus is an enhanced version of FinFET technology provides substantial power reduction with high-speed performance. 16nm refers to the size of the transistors used in the chipset. From 22nm to 16nm the size of the transistor has been reduced to improve the performance of chipset. In 16nm, the transistor fins are tightly paced, thinner and taller when compared to 22nm.

When the distance between transistors (transistor fins) reduces, it requires less power to activate them and can accommodate more transistors on the same circuit. Thus, the chip delivers better performance, improves the battery life and makes the chipset more powerful.

Compared with the previous generation Huawei Kirin 620, Kirin 650 improves its CPU performance by 60% and GPU performance by 100%. 16nm FinFET plus process technology improves the performance by 65% and reduces power consumption by 70% when compared to 28nm (28nm is used in Snapdragon 616 processor) process and it Offers extra 40% higher speed and consumes 50% less power when compared to 20nm System on chip (20SoC) technology.

Kirin 650: Faster Network

Kirin 650 supports the three major networks 2G/ 3G/ 4G across the world. It not only supports TD-LTE / FDD-LTE / TD-SDCMA / WCDMA / GSM but also CDMA networks. It is equipped with Cat.7, which is capable of downloading 300Mbits/s.

In addition, Kirin 650 offers Dual standby Dual SIM, 4G LTE network and Voice over LTE (VoLTE) support. VoLTE reduces the call delay and improves the internet connection speed. One advantage of VoLTE is that the consumers can experience an improved high-definition call quality with 4G network (can transfer more data over 4G than 2G/3G).

Kirin 650: Security

Kirin 650 integrates HiSEE security solutions that ensure user security, handle fingerprint information, secure mobile payment and voice encryption (call encryption). All Fingerprint data gets saved into ARM Trust Zone environment in an encrypted format. Even if the phone is ROOTING or violent dismantled, others cannot get fingerprint data.

Kirin 650: GPU

In terms of GPU, Kirin 650 is using ARM’s Mali T830 GPU. When compared to Kirin 620, GPU performance improved by 100%. Kirin 650 graphics is capable of delivering stunning visuals effects and a smooth gaming experience.

Kirin 650: Intelligent processor

To improve the speed of the Smartphone the Huawei Kirin 650 comes with i5 processor. The i5 processor is capable of generating a next level high-end Smartphone with smooth streaming, sharp visuals, and improved internet browsing speed. The i5 processor coordinates and shares resources with the octa core in the CPU that helps to improve the speed and smoothness of the Smartphone. Moreover, it consumes low power and is capable of handling tasks more efficiently.

Conclusion

While buying a Smartphone you should be more aware of System on chip (SoC). Now with all new technology the Huawei has introduced their new smart chipset – Kirin 650. So, with 16nm process technology, octa core A53 (4 × 1.7GHz + 4 × 2.0GHz) architecture, Mali880MP2 GPU, 4G LTE Cat.7 technology and i5 processor the Kirin 650 showcases the best performance for the next generation high-end budget friendly Smartphone.
