Xiaomi is developing its own smartphone chipset, here’s when it launches | Infinium-tech
According to a new report today, Xiaomi is reportedly working on its own developed chipset. This step has been taken to reduce its dependence on Qualcomm and MediaTek.
Mass production of the chip is apparently set to begin next year and the first phones powered by it will also launch in 2025.
Chinese authorities have repeatedly asked local companies to reduce their dependence on foreign technology as much as possible, and Xiaomi seems to have received the message loud and clear. Of course, it remains to be seen how the chip will be positioned and in which part of the market it will be used. And of course, how well it will perform compared to competing offerings from Qualcomm and MediaTek.
Unfortunately this report doesn’t tell us anything about it, so we’ll have to wait for more details to be revealed, either officially or through more rumors. Xiaomi plans to invest about CNY 30 billion ($4.1 billion) in R&D in 2025, up from CNY 24 billion ($3.3 billion) this year. The new chip will undoubtedly eat up some of that.
