How can you ensure you are the first manufacturer equipped with the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip? Xiaomi has undoubtedly found the solution, by announcing its smartphone directly on the stage of the Snapdragon Tech Summit.
Just almost 10 minutes following the official presentation of the high-end smartphone chip, William Wu, president of the Xiaomi group, took the stage. After a short presentation, just 17 minutes following the presentation of the new Snapdragon chip, he released the Xiaomi 14 on stage, announcing that he had the first smartphone under Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
Xiaomi killed the game, but at what cost?
Every year, it’s a bit of a race between Android manufacturers to see who will be the first to equip themselves with the chip. With this announcement, which will be followed on October 26, two days later, by a conference dedicated to the Chinese launch of the Xiaomi 14, it seems that the Chinese manufacturer has put in place the means to secure this place in 2023.
With this surprise announcement, Qualcomm confirms its desire to create partnerships with smartphone brands for announcements that are a little more sensational than usual. We are thinking in particular of the announcement of the transition to the Snapdragon 8 series for the Nothing Phone (2) at MWC 2023.
We saw the Xiaomi 14
The Xiaomi 14 was therefore briefly shown on stage. To be very honest, apart from its photo block which gains weight and seems to integrate four photo modules, its design seems to closely resemble that of the Xiaomi 13.
While the full announcement will wait until October 26, at 1 p.m. Paris time, William Wu still talked a little regarding the performances. Logic at a conference dedicated to the launch of a chip.
The Xiaomi 14 can, according to its manufacturer, open 30 apps in 140 seconds. Without citing it, Xiaomi claims that its best competitor can do the same in 154.12 seconds. Impressive on paper, but difficult to see a use case.
Another figure given during the conference: the Xiaomi 14 can ensure performance around 60 FPS with a temperature of “ only» 43.2°C. We imagine that Xiaomi is talking regarding the temperature of the processor, because if it is regarding the battery, the figure would be much too high.
See you the next day for more details on the Xiaomi 14. We will follow this onFrandroid.
