Huawei's latest mid-range SoC Kirin 810 squashes the Snapdragon 730 on AnTuTu

Huawei may be facing a lot of problems owing to the **US Blacklist** which forces US-based companies to stop working with the Chinese smartphone maker, but that hasn’t deterred the company to make super fast chipsets. Huawei’s in-house SoCs made by HiSilicon are some of the fastest in the world and a recent benchmark listing proves that.
