For several days, rumors have abounded regarding the impending Xiaomi flagship, the Xiaomi 14, and Qualcomm's next premium chip, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Numerous details regarding the smartphone and the chipset have surfaced. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip is reportedly set to debut with the Xiaomi 14 series, according to a source.
The first smartphone running on Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is the Xiaomi 14 series
According to rumors, Qualcomm will introduce its newest flagship chipset at the October 2023 Snapdragon Summit. According to rumors, Xiaomi will make a significant announcement regarding the Xiaomi 14 series and release MIUI 15, which is based on Android 14, following this event. The stable MIUI 15 software version will be pre-installed on the Xiaomi 14 series when it is formally released in November.
The information seems to match the launch schedules of both businesses. A new chipset announcement would seem more fitting in October given that Apple released the new iPhone 15 series in September. The Xiaomi 14 will thereafter be released in November. After then, a number of smartphones featuring this technology will be released by brands including Vivo, Oppo, ZTE, and others.
The first smartphone to debut with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 was Vivo's X90 Pro+ last year. Following that, further models of the iQOO 11, 11 Pro, and Xiaomi 13 series hit the market. However, according to the latest information, the Xiaomi 14 series will use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip this year. One Cortex-X4 core, five Cortex-A720 cores, and two Cortex-A520 cores make up its octa-core architecture.
Features and Specifications for the Xiaomi 14 Series ( Expected )
Upgrades to the hardware and software of the Xiaomi 14 are anticipated. The smartphone's 50-megapixel 1/1.28-inch primary camera, which is a little bigger than the sensor from last year, will be used. It will have a telephoto sensor and an ultra-wide angle lens in addition to a 5x optical zoom. The regular Xiaomi 14 model is rumored to include a 4,860mAh battery with compatibility for both 50W and 90W rapid wired charging.
