I am very excited to be part of the Snapdragon Technology Summit and reaffirm that Xiaomi’s close relationship with Qualcomm Technologies in the premium tier will continue into 2018.Xiaomi is committed to making devices that combine cutting-edge innovations in technology and beautiful design, while defying price expectations, and we have chosen Snapdragon 845 to power our next flagship smartphone.

You will agree with me that Qualcomm’s chips are one of the best in the world and the company has chips for low-end, mid-range and flagship devices all of which Xiaomi has used to give its customers a better user experience.
