Huawei Honghu 818 SoC vs Mediatek MT5597 vs MT5596 vs Amlogic S905X vs Tegra X1

With the launch of HarmonyOS on the Honor Vision & Vision Pro TVs, I thought it was worth looking into the chipsets that power these devices. With 4K HDR playback available on most TVs you would expect something relatively beefy powering the underlying SmartOS. Flagship mobiles are currently using the 7nm fabrication process, but most…

Launching a brand new SmartOS direct to mobile phones isn’t the best idea, it didn’t play out too well for Samsung Tizen, or even Microsoft. Some would say there is no room for a new smartphone OS, but in the case of Huawei, they need an alternative solution in case President Trump spits his dummy…
