Huawei takes a jab at Apple's iPhone XHuawei teased that "the real AI phone" will come next month when its new flagship phone is revealed. Apple unveiled the iPhone X last week, and with it comes the A11 Bionic chip, which features an industry-first neural engine built specifically for artificial intelligence (AI) tasks like Face ID's three-dimensional scanning. Huawei, however, doesn't seem impressed, and on its Facebook page it teased that "the real AI phone" will come on October 16, when the company plans to unveil the latest Mate-branded flagship phone. The Chinese smartphone maker announced that it was working on a new chipset, the Kirin 970, last month at Berlin's IFA. The new system-on-a-chip (SoC) will improve on performance and power efficiency, but its true crown jewel will be the embedded "neural processing unit" (NPU).
