Through the various institutional channels, the Chinese manufacturer’s marketing “machine” has already revealed the big news. Although expected if we take into account the history of the brand, it is always good news for consumers and fans of the brand.
The Snapdragon 888 will be present in the Xiaomi Mi 11
Xiaomi’s announcement came just minutes after the official presentation of Qualcomm’s new SoC during the first day of the Snapdragon Summit, the North American manufacturer of chips, components and technologies for mobile devices.
According to rumors, the new smartphones Xiaomi Mi 11 and Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro may be presented in January, with a possible arrival on the market later this month, or early February. Now, we already know what their “heart” will be.
The processor, chipset or mobile platform (SoC) is the most important component of any and all smartphones. It is the engine that will dictate the performance of the terminal, facilitate the arrival of new software updates and ensure stable use.
Xiaomi Mi 11 series confirmed
The enthusiastic announcement is justified. Xiaomi is one of the fastest growing manufacturers in several markets, occupying fourth place globally and may very soon reach third place. To this end, the next Mi 11 will be instrumental.
If Xiaomi manages to be the first manufacturer to put a smartphone with the Snapdragon 888 on the market, it would be a positive statement. Incidentally, Lei Jun’s company has a good track record in launching new technologies in record time.
Promising the most powerful Qualcomm processor to date, built with 5 nanometer lithography, the Snapdragon 888 will be radically more energy efficient. This will increase the autonomy and performance of the devices.
