Qualcomm’s next premium processor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, is expected to be unveiled in Hawaii between October 24 and 26, earlier than in previous years. Rumors indicate that Xiaomi is really looking to be the first phone maker to introduce phones with the new chip. Now, GSMArena reports that a new rumor coming out of China claims that the Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro will be announced on October 27.
Xioami 14 and 14 Pro might as well be the first phones to rock the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
Both phones are rumored to be revealed on October 27, just a day after the Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit. These two phones will be the successors to the Xiaomi 13 and 13 Pro, which were launched last year in December. Little is known about these two phones other than the fact that they will sport the newer and more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon chip. Both phones are rumored to feature a new design, Leica-optimized cameras, and ship with MIUI 15 and Android 14.
The Pro is said to have a titanium frame and satellite connectivity (surprise, surprise). Both phones have already made the rounds on Chinese certification sites and we expect upgrades to the screen, camera and charging. A new vibrating motor can also be introduced. It is said that mass production of the two phones has already started.
