I think the 888 was announced in December 2020, I don't recall at what time it was available in significant numbers.

The Mi11 used it in December 2020. The S21 series used it in Jan 21.

Interesting, thanks. I didn't realise that it was already in 2020.

IIRC, Huawei announced its first SoC with integrated 5G modem, the Kirin 990 [1], in September 2019. The Kirin 990 5G was featured in Huawei's flagship smartphone, the Mate 30, which was launched in the same month. So Huawei was only 1 year ahead of Qualcomm on the consumer side.

Likewise - I didn't realize Huawei did it a full year earlier. I wonder if it was a power hungry dog like the qcom...
