Huawei's Kirin 990 is a mobile CPU with 5G built in
Let's play a game of technicalities. A few days ago, Samsung announced the Exynos 980, the company's first processor with an integrated 5G modem. In February, Qualcomm also sort of announced it had an integrated 5G mobile platform that supports millimeter wave (mmwave) technology. Today, at IFA 2019, Huawei is unveiling the Kirin 990 5G, which it is calling the "industry's first 5G SoC." The new chipset has, you guessed it, a radio onboard that makes it compatible with the networking standard that's being lit up worldwide, although Huawei's system doesn't support mmwave.
