Huawei Glory 4X leaks in images just days ahead of official announcement

We just talked you regarding the recently released octa-core Kirin 620 chipset by Huawei for its mid-range handsets. Well, it seems that the upcoming Huawei Glory 4X, scheduled to launch on December 16^th  along with the Huawei Honor 6 Plus, is all set to host it and the handset has appeared in four different images before launch. Well, the images show the device to be hosting a very conventional Chinese phone look skinned with Huawei’s own design style.

This is basically an plastic body mid-range segment phone having sort of unusual back cover pattern. With the two phones to be launched next week, Huawei seems to be finishing this year in style launching smartphones with their own 64-bit processors and pitching up the competition against Qualcomm that is all set to arrive with its 64-bit chipset soon.

Looking to its specs, the Huawei Honor 4X is expected to have a 5.5inch 720p display supported with an octa-core Kirin 620 chipset. The device would have two RAM memory options of 1GB and 2GB of course both different prices. At its back there would be a 13MP primary camera while its front would have a 5MP secondary camera. The device would be running Android 4.4 KitKat topped with its own Emotion UI. The 1GB variant of the device is likely to be priced at $130 while its 2GB variant for $162. Huawei has really upped the ante of competition to its Chinese counterparts like Meizu and Xiaomi in affordable segment rane. We would get you with more details once the news is official.

Chinese giant Huawei announces it octa-core Kirin 620 chipset

Last week, Huawei announced its own new chipset for mid-range devices namely the Kirin 620 SoC. Eventhough, not being the top of the line chipset the CPU offers a pretty good 64bit architecture with nearly eight cores clocked at 1.2GHz. This is a 28nm chip that is based on the Cortex A53 having an LPDDR3 RAM support. The chip offers a plenty of connectivity options like TD-SCDMA, GSM, WCDMA, LTE FDD, TD-LTE and even supports Cat 4 LTE for 150Mbps speeds range. The chip has a Mali 450 MP4 GPU and the camera support includes for a 13MP sensor with a facility of video encoding and decoding upto 1080p resolution at 30Hz.

The performance comparison for the chipset competes to that of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 410. Both the chipsets have a 64-bit architecture with a clock at 1.2GHz, however Kirin 620 takes the edge over with its 8 core CPU. However, we think that there would not be a much noticeable difference between the two. The inclusion of the Mali 450 GPU in the long run can prove to be a drawback, but it seems that for the time being Huawei would not face much hurdles for this. We would be waiting to see a Huawei smartphone with the Kirin 620 chipset being released soon in the market.
