Previously, reports revealed that Qualcomm is working on the successor to the Snapdragon 888 chipset, which has the codename SM8450. The leaks also revealed that it would be based on Samsung’s 4nm process and use an X65 5G modem.
Today, the famous Chinese blogger Digital Chat Station revealed that two new Xiaomi models codenamed Zeus and Cupid have been leaked with a chipset based on Samsung’s 4nm manufacturing process.
As per sources, these new codenames belong to Xiaomi’s Mi 12 series, which is expected to be released in mid-December. Last year, Xiaomi was the first smartphone manufacturer to use Snapdragon 888 in Mi 11, and it seems that the same will happen again this time.
Previously, Digital Chat Station reported that the SM8450 would be upgraded to a 4nm manufacturing process, and the heat dissipation system wouldn’t improve much. However, the performance will be 20% better than the Snapdragon 888. In addition, the SM8450 chipset will use the ARM v9 architecture, and the GPU will be Adreno 730 instead of Adreno 660.
In addition to the chipset, the Mi 12 series is also expected to have better display specifications. It is also expected to feature under-screen camera technology and LTPO adaptive refresh rate. It can realize the adaptive refresh rate adjustment function of 1-120Hz.
