54 Huawei Investment & Holding Co., Ltd.


Wearables and smart audio: Our wearables and
smart audio products have maintained rapid growth,
boosted by the strong sales of the HUAWEI WATCH
GT 2 and FreeBuds 3 – the world’s first True Wireless
Stereo (TWS) earbuds with open-fit active noise
cancellation. For example:

■ Shipments of our wearables and smart audio
products increased by 170% and more than 200%
year-on-year, respectively in 2019.

■ The smart glasses we launched with Gentle
Monster perfectly combine technology with fashion,
becoming an instant hit after launch.

Smart screens: In 2019, we launched our Huawei
Vision and Honor Vision smart screen products,
upgrading large-screen devices into intelligent hubs

The Kirin 990 5G is manufactured using the cutting-edge
7nm + EUV process, which provides the industry’s most
competitive performance, energy efficiency, and transistor
density. 10.3 billion transistors are packed into an area the
size of a fingernail, making the Kirin 990 5G 2019’s most
complex commercial 5G SoC, with the most transistors and
the most complete functions.

As the world’s first 5G System-on-Chip (SoC), and
the first SoC to integrate a 5G modem, the Kirin 990
5G uses the industry’s most cutting-edge 7nm + EUV
manufacturing process. This gives it unrivaled levels
of performance and energy efficiency. Based on the
outstanding 5G connectivity delivered by Balong 5000,
the Kirin 990 5G is the first full-frequency 5G SoC to
support both non-standalone (NSA) and standalone
(SA) architectures and TDD/FDD full frequency bands.
The Kirin 990 5G achieves a peak downlink rate of 2.3
Gbit/s and a peak uplink rate of 1.25 Gbit/s at sub-6
GHz. This enables the HUAWEI Mate 30 Series to
deliver an unmatched 5G experience to consumers.

The Kirin A1 is the industry’s first BT 5.1 & BLE 5.1
SoC. It boasts efficient and stable connectivity, robust
audio processing, and superior anti-interference
capabilities. The Kirin A1 also supports intelligent
and natural human-device interactions, and enables
premium audio quality and immersive gaming
experiences thanks to instant acoustic feedback, giving
consumers a seamless, high-quality audio experience
in all scenarios.

Operating systems: We have leveraged breakthroughs
in underlying software technologies, such as
compilers, to shift from upper-layer user interface (UI)
optimization to all-scenario device operating system
development. This provides strong operating system
capabilities that can achieve multi-screen collaboration
and deliver an inspired, intelligent experience to
consumers across all devices and scenarios.

for interactions and cross-screen experiences, as well
as IoT control centers and media and entertainment
centers. Large-screen devices have been transformed
into household smart assistants, smartphones with
super-large screens, “housekeepers” for the HiLink
ecosystem, and super home theaters. Our smart screen
products have set a new trend for the television
industry.

VR devices: The weight and volume of the HUAWEI
VR Glass are only one third of an average VR headset,
completely reshaping the form factor of this product
category. As a perfect accessory for 5G smartphones,
the HUAWEI VR Glass brings an immersive VR
experience in 5G-supported scenarios and tears down
the barriers of computing through VR Screen Mirroring.
This allows consumers to take full advantage of the
huge amounts of media and entertainment resources
available on their smartphones.

Enhancing All-Scenario Device Chipsets, OSs, and the Global Cloud Service Presence


To guarantee a Seamless AI Life for consumers, we
are actively building the basic capabilities we will
need to deliver all-scenario device chipsets, operating
systems, and cloud services. With significantly
improved competitiveness and user experience, our
products across all scenarios have been well received
by consumers the world over.

Chipsets: We have expanded from mobile device
chipsets to all-scenario device chipsets. In 2019,
we launched multiple processors for different
devices, including the Kirin 990 5G for our flagship
smartphones and the Kirin A1 for TWS earbuds and
other wearables.
