The Mate 30 series is powered by the Kirin 990 5G, which incorporates a three-level power efficiency architecture for the CPU, Huawei’s self-developed Da Vinci NPU architecture (large dual-NPU + tiny NPU cores), and a supersized 16-core GPU to deliver super-fast performance and high-power efficiency.

As the world’s first 2nd generation 5G smartphone, the Mate 30 Pro 5G features 21 antennas, 14 antennas are reserved for 5G, delivering blazing fast speeds.
