Google Nexus 2015 could ship more powerful Huawei’s Kirin 950 instead of Huawei’s Kirin 930

Huawei and online search giant Google will team up together to create the next Google Nexus 2015. While the Kirin 930 16nm processor is quite good, even smaller than Snapdragon 810 chip. It seems that Huawei wanna something more powerful, specifically the Kirin 940 or even Kirin 950.

Of course, this makes us curios about what exactly the Kirin 940/950 were about. But thanks to the leaked documentary, we know a little bid about the phone. In detail, the three SoCs (930/940/950) will feature essentially the same architecture of a quad-core set of A53 cores and another with A57 cores. The main differences might belongs to the clock rate.

While the base Kirin 930 will be clocked at 2.0GHz, we will find a higher 2.2 GHz and 2.4 GHz in the 940 and 950 respectively. More interesting, the Kirin 940 and Kirin 950 SoC will even support 25.6GB/s LPDDR4 RAM!

The more powerful Kirin and Kirin 950 will reportedly feature 4K Video quality as well as dual SIM. According to the report, while the Kirin 930 phone will be launched in Q2 2015, we have to wait until Q3 (3rd quater) and Q4 (4th quarter) 2015 for strong Kirin 940 as well as Kirin 950.

In highlight: Some rumored Huawei upcoming’s smartphone are the Ascend Mate 8, which supposedly comes with a 6-inch QHD display, a new Kirin 930 processor and a $650 price tag; the mysterious Ascend P8, possibly ships a 5-inch HD display, a new Kirin 930 processor, 3GB of RAM and a $490 price tag; and the Ascend D8, which seemingly features a 5.5-inch quad HD display, a Kirin 950 processor, 4GB of RAM and a premium $800 price tag. And now, Huawei will be the next partner of Google for their luxury Google Nexus 2015. Well done, Huawei!!!
