The alleged firmware files that Twitter @FunkyHuawei shared with XDADevelopers Huawei Mate 10, the Mate 20 will be powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 980 SoC. The SoC is claimed to offer 20 percent better performance and 50 percent more power efficient than the current-generation Kirin SoC. Further, it could be announced at Huawei's IFA keynote later this month.

While the Mate 20 is said to include the Kirin 980 SoC, the Mate 20 Lite is speculated to include a HiSilicon Kirin 710 SoC that was previously powering the Huawei Nova 3i. However, the Mate 20 Pro is likely to have the same Kirin 980 SoC to offer the superior most experience in the series.

For viewing content, the Huawei Mate 20 is said to include a 6.3-inch AMOLED screen, though the availability of a notch design remains unclear. A previous report already claimed that the Huawei Mate 20 Pro will Huawei P20 Pro.

On the memory and storage fronts, folks at XDADevelopers claim that the Mate 20 will come with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage. It is unclear whether the phone will also include a microSD card slot to expand the built-in storage.

Unlike the Huawei Mate 20 that could include a traditional fingerprint sensor, the Mate 20 Pro is said to have an in-display fingerprint sensor. Full firmware files of the Mate 20 Lite and Mate 20 Pro weren't procured, though. But notwithstanding that, the leaked data shows that the Mate 20 family runs launched in China on Tuesday.

If we dig into some previous reports, the Mate 20 Pro will come with a price tag of CNY 5,000 (roughly Rs. 50,100). The high-end model is also speculated to feature a 6.9-inch display and include three cameras at the back, similar to the Huawei P20 Pro with one 42-megapixel sensor.
