Earlier today (sixth July 2021), a new report from a recognized informant has revealed that the next-gen flagship CPU from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 895, may debut ahead of schedule, which may even lead to Xiaomi launching the Mi 12 in very early December.
According to @i 冰宇宙 (IceUniverse), the American chip making giant will undoubtedly be introducing the Snapdragon 895 ahead of schedule by at the very least half a month. Given that the launch of its most current front runner chips typically are at the start of a year, we might expect the brand-new high-end CPU to be introduced in early December of this year. To put it simply, this would indeed also indicate that Xiaomi might be launching its following gen front runner, the Mi 12 schedule, by the end of this year.
While the name of the future premium-grade smartphone from Xiaomi is presently unknown, it will likely be called the Mi 12 and would be the very first to feature, if not among the very first, to feature the brand-new Snapdragon 895 SoC. In A Similar Way, Chen Jin, General Manager of Lenovo, has previously stated that its most recent front runner phone will arrive with the Snapdragon 895 and introduce it before New Year’s day in 2022. So, Xiaomi might also be in line with a similar launch date.
For those uninformed, the Chinese tech giant and Qualcomm have had a close collaboration for some time and have generally always released their annual flagship close to the statement of new chips. The company had formerly released the Mi 11, which was the initial to sport the Snapdragon 888, in December 2020. Today, its follower could be unveiled by the beginning of December of this year.
