Huawei could possibly launch the Mate 30-series with Kirin 985, HongMeng OS

The **ongoing feud of Chinese tech conglomerate Huawei**  with the US authorities has been the main talking point in the technology realm for some time now. Thanks to a US blacklist, all companies based out of or associated with the country are forbidden to do business with Huawei, which includes the likes of Google, Intel, Qualcomm, ARM and more.

This puts the Mate 30-series in real doubt. However, Huawei is reportedly going to go ahead with the launch anyway. As per a tipster Teme, Huawei could likely launch the Mate 30-series smartphones on 22 September or around that time. He also said that the phones will come with the as-of-yet-unreleased, trademarked HongMeng operating system.

Reports indicate that this new Android alternative could be released in China next month. For global audiences, Huawei could release ArkOS, which was also recently registered by the company following the fallout with Google. The **Kirin 985 chipset** will be based a second-gen 7 nm processing and will feature Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (EUV) technology. It will also be quite likely 5G ready with Huawei’s Balong 5000 modem.
