Huawei’s Kirin 990 chipset will finally support 4K video capture at 60fps

With Huawei's P20 Pro last year and this year's P30 Pro, the company pulled off some incredible camera innovations, at least in the photo department. In terms of recording video, it hasn't done as much. Part of the reason for this is because the Kirin 970 and Kirin 980 chipsets don't support recording video at 4K 60fps, a feature that you'd expect from such camera-centric smartphones. Luckily, that's about to change with the next generation. While I was in Shenzhen for the past week, Huawei confirmed that the Kirin 990 will indeed support recording video at 4K 60fps. Starting with the Mate 30 series, you'll no longer have to choose between a high resolution and a high frame rate. It's incredible how fast Chinese companies manage to improve. If you ever wonder why the United States government is trying to hit Huawei so hard, it's because of things like this. Aside from the possibly valid spying concerns, Huawei is simply also a major competitor to Silicon Valley, and this is a great way for American corporations/government to strike back. There aren't many companies who can make every part of a device. Huawei is one of them.
