Xiaomi’s first phone packing Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 arrives on March 21،
Qualcomm introduced its new AI-focused chipset, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, earlier this week. The US-based chipmaker mentioned some of the brands that will adopt the new chipset, and Xiaomi was one of them.
Although Qualcomm said the first Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 phones would be announced in the coming months, Xiaomi was much quicker than that. The Chinese company has just confirmed that its next phone, the Civi 4 Pro, will be presented on March 21 (via My Repair Guide).
More importantly, the Civi 4 Pro is Xiaomi's first smartphone powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor. Apart from the chipset, Xiaomi also revealed information about the phone's triple camera, which will be enhanced by Leica.
It is important to add that the Civi 4 Pro will be exclusively available in China, but Xiaomi could later offer it in other markets under a different name (perhaps also with specifications).
