Xiaomi is reportedly developing its own in-house smartphone chipset as part of its strategy to lessen dependence on Qualcomm and MediaTek.
Mass production is expected to begin in 2025, with the first devices featuring the new chip slated for release the same year.
This move aligns with China’s ongoing push for local tech companies to reduce reliance on foreign technology.
However, the details about the chip’s specifications, market positioning, and performance compared to competitors remain unclear.
Xiaomi has committed to investing CNY 30 billion ($4.1 billion) in research and development for 2025, a portion of which will be dedicated to the new chipset.
