Xiaomi is reportedly working on its own brand of chipsets for smartphones. The Chinese tech company reportedly considered the move as the country urged local companies to reduce their reliance on foreign technology as much as possible. With its own chipsets, the country will stop relying on chipset producers like Qualcomm and MediaTek.
According to reports, mass production of Xiaomi’s chip will begin early next year. The company plans to launch the first phones powered by this chip in 2025. However, it also remains to be seen whether this chip will work as well as Qualcomm and MediaTek’s sexting chips. It is also unknown right now whether this chip will be used in other products.
This is all we have learned from the leaked report. If this report turns out to be true, the company may soon release information about it or more rumors may surface in the near future. The report also states that Xiaomi plans to invest around CNY 30 billion ($4.1 billion) in R&D in 2025, up CNY 6 billion from this year’s CNY 24 billion ($3.3 billion). This increase in budget is likely due to the new chip.
