 "Huawei takes a dig at Apple's new iPhones ahead of Mate 20 series launch on 16 Oct")
After Samsung, **Huawei** is taking a dig at Apple as it nears the **launch** of its flagship on 16 October in London. Unlike Samsung, which had mocked the iPhone X unibrow, Huawei has thanked Apple in its posts for “keeping things the same”. On 12 September, Apple launched the iPhone XR, iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. While the iPhone X’s upgraded version the XS looks identical and the XS Max is the largest Apple iPhone ever. The iPhone XR which is the most economical of the lot, starting at Rs 76,900, comes with a 6.1-inch LCD display. Tipping on factors such as design, colour variants and ‘innovation’, Huawei is promoting its phone this year. The Mate 20 series will also be the first series to be housing the latest generation **Kirin 980 SoC** which was announced at IFA.

Huawei conveys this by showing a man running on a circular track which looks similar to the golden ring on Apple’s ‘Gather round’ invite. After taking a lap, the human moves ahead.

These phones will also house Huawei’s latest chipset Kirin 980 SoC which was launched at the IFA 2018.
