Huawei has launched the nova 7 SE 5G Youth Edition smartphone in China and it comes with the MediaTek Dimensity SoC 800 U instead of their own Kirin.

The Huawei nova are smartphones with medium-high performance which are usually around 300 Euros. These devices, until now, made use of Huawei’s own processors , the Kirin. As we saw last year, the nova 6 5G came with the powerful Kirin 990, while the nova 7 SE, launched this year in April, came with the Kirin 820. The continuous restrictions on Huawei by the US are taking a toll and the manufacturer had to stop the production of its Kirin Due to the ban imposed by the US government on TSMC to stop manufacturing SoCs for Huawei, so now the manufacturer is looking for other alternatives such as direct purchase of SoCs from MediaTek .

With 15 to Years ago I started overclocking my PC to get every extra FPS I could in games and scratch a few milliseconds in SuperPi, while I was constantly posting about hardware on the Geeknetic forum as a user and reader. They were probably so fed up with continually reading me on the forum that I became part of the writing team, where I continue to report on the latest in technology. Astrophysics and PC games are the hobbies that, after hardware, cover most of my free time.
