Alongside the headline-dominating Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro, Xiaomi also launched the Xiaomi 12X at its event in China today. The Xiaomi 12X appears to be a more affordable variant of the Xiaomi 12, with one notable difference being the use of a Snapdragon 870 over Qualcomm s new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
iQOO s latest smartphones are new variants of its Neo5 series. The 5S has the Snapdragon 888 SoC, paired to an "innovative" thermal management system touted to incorporate rare-earth elements for advanced heat dissipation. The 5 SE has the Snapdragon 870 instead, but also has a 144Hz display and a 50MP main camera.
The MediaTek Dimensity 9000 and Dimensity 7000 are expected to topple Qualcomm s performance superiority in the Android space, thanks to impressive manufacturing nodes. At the moment, however, it appears Qualcomm still dominates, at least when running on Xiaomi s MIUI 13 software.
Vivo is preparing to launch its first ever tablet. The upcoming Android tablet’s renders have been leaked online and it is likely to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC.
MediaTek is set to release a new sub-premium chipset, the Dimensity 7000, and a new leak has now revealed details of the SoC ahead of launch. Specs look impressive, with Qualcomm s Snapdragon 870 tipped to be the new chipset s obvious rival.
