Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design Allegedly Powered by 8-Core Kirin 9010 Chipset With 64-Bit Architecture

Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design was launched in China on Tuesday as the world's first mass-market tri-fold smartphone. Although the company revealed several of its specifications, including a large 10.2-inch screen when fully unfolded, and a triple outer camera setup, it did not specify the processor which would be powering the handset. However, a new hands-on video from the official launch event suggests that it may be powered by a Kirin 9010 chipset, corroborating previous leaks.
