Και ένα μικρό rumor στο τέλος.
It turns out that everyone seems to have one common problem these days: Qualcomm. According to the report, the Chinese smartphone maker uses Qualcomm chips in its high-end Mi 5 smartphone, but production had to be cut short in the first quarter of 2016 thanks to a shortage of the 821 chips from Qualcomm’s end.
So as a first, Xiaomi building its own chipset will not see any chip shortages as it will not have to rely on Qualcomm for the same.
The second advantage is to to do with another important market, India.
By using in-house chipsets, Xiaomi will be able to deliver better products with more variety in India. As of now, the company is only allowed to sell smartphones with Qualcomm chipsets due to patent issues, a good reason why the Redmi Note 4 with a deca-core MediaTek Helio X20 did not make it out here. Customers had to make do with the less powerful (but energy efficient) Qualcomm 625 chipsets instead.
Rumours also suggest that two models of the processor will be announced –
Pinecone 1 with an octa-core Cortex-A53 CPU, and Pinecone 2 with four Cortex-A73 cores and four Cortex-A53 cores. It is also said that it will be made on the 10nm process.
