Xiaomi’s first flagship phone chip is coming this week.

The Xring 01 will launch this Thursday, May 22nd. It’s reportedly a 3nm flagship SoC, and leaked benchmarks put it on a par with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite.

Making your own chips is in vogue now — not only do Samsung, Apple, Google, and Huawei do it, but Oppo has reportedly been exploring the option too. This is technically Xiaomi’s second attempt though — the entry-level Surge S1 launched in 2017, but never got a follow-up.
