The latest rumor about Xiaomi indicates that the Chinese brand could be preparing to launch three more powerful smartphones equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus chip.
According to the new information, the terminals are positioned in the premium and mid-range segment and also come with 2K resolution.
Xiaomi bets on the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus chip with three new models
Xiaomi may be preparing to launch another three powerful new smartphones that will arrive with the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus chip and 2K resolution. Who says it is the leaker Digital Chat Station who also anticipates that the terminals will be positioned in the premium and intermediate segments.
The well-known leaker does not advance more information. So this is just what we know. But we can draw some conclusions. For example, in the case of Xiaomi, a new mid-range smartphone, but with a powerful processor, immediately refers to the Redmi sub-brand.
All because Redmi is known for its more performance-focused handsets that provide high-end chips at a more affordable cost. In this sense, it is likely that one of the new smartphones will then arrive under the Redmi seal.
On the other hand, Xiaomi’s MIX series is also a strong candidate for the integration of this new chip. All because the Chinese brand will be able to launch novelties in this series, so it would not be so strange if another of the terminals was a MIX. The surprise may then be in the third model that no one dares to predict.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus arrives in the second quarter of 2022, like the three new Xiaomi models with this chip
Recall that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus chip will be an optimized version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and will be based on TSMC’s 4nm process, unlike the predecessor that uses Samsung’s 4nm process. Otherwise, the new chip will feature a super-large Cortex X2 core, three large Cortex A710 cores, and four small Cortex A510 cores.
Qualcomm is expected to launch the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus processor in the second quarter of 2022, and these three new Xiaomi smartphones are expected to arrive at the same time.
