At ISCAS 2026, Huawei executive He Tingbo said the company will launch a new Kirin smartphone chip in autumn 2026 using logic folding for the first time. The chip is expected to debut in the Mate 90 series around September and is positioned to compete with Apple’s iPhone 18 lineup.
Technode, citing Yunjian Insight, reports that Huawei’s Harmony Intelligent Mobility unit, JAC, Stellantis, and Maserati are in talks to co-develop a new energy vehicle with separate China and overseas versions. The proposed structure mirrors Huawei’s existing collaboration model, with Huawei leading product definition and core technology, JAC handling development and manufacturing, and Maserati contributing design and brand positioning, though no formal agreement is reported yet.
Auto China 2026 in Beijing showcases China’s EV makers leveraging aggressive pricing and rapid AI/autonomous feature integration to extend domestic leadership. Foreign automakers are increasingly partnering with Chinese battery and software firms to keep pace, highlighting both adaptation and rising dependency risks.
Technode reports that Huawei executive He Gang shared a photo with a “HUAWEI AI Glasses” watermark, suggesting a potential near-term smart glasses launch. A HarmonyOS 6.0.0.130 update also appears to add real-time photo import status features that could support seamless media transfer from a shooting device to a phone.
The source indicates that private IT firms—rather than state-owned defense conglomerates—are winning a majority of PLA AI integration contracts, particularly around DeepSeek deployments. This dynamic is driven by reliance on state-favored domestic compute stacks and rapid integration capacity, but it also introduces verification and oversight risks as procurement timelines compress.
China Mobile Guangdong has reportedly won a 155 million yuan contract to build a computing power service support platform that excludes imported equipment and uses Huawei’s Ascend 910C accelerators. The project highlights ongoing commercialization of domestic compute stacks, emphasizing vertically integrated compute, interconnect, and OceanStor storage tiers.
According to the source, Beijing approved conditional imports of roughly 400,000 Nvidia H200 GPUs, signaling a shift toward tightly managed access to top-tier U.S. compute. The document suggests China will pair selective H200 deployment for frontier training with continued support and mandated uptake of domestic chips, sustaining Huawei’s role in the self-reliance strategy.
Honor is repositioning smartphone competition away from mature hardware features toward an integrated AI stack spanning dedicated chips, OS optimization, and cloud services. With domestic shipments declining and designs converging, the V10’s on-device AI strategy aims to create compounding differentiation through personalization and improved user experience.
