News & Reviews:   Qualcomm Snapdragon 888

The next-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon flagship chipset is expected to launch this December, with Xiaomi running to be the first to introduce smartphones with it. Although it'll be quite some time before we reach there, the first benchmark of the Snapdragon 895 or 898 has been unveiled.

Earlier, it was reported that Xiaomi will be one of the first to debut a smartphone with a 200MP camera. Now, the news has come saying that the Chinese tech company will use Samsung's unannounced 200MP sensor. Back in 2019, Xiaomi also launched the CC9 Pro which was the first to come with Samsung's 108MP camera sensor.

With Apple's A14 Bionic and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888 being the current flagship chipsets, the demand for 5nm process naturally hikes up as well. It is reported that TSMC will increase the monthly production capacity from 60,000 pieces to 100,000 pieces in the second half of the year.

After the announcement of the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset yesterday at the Tech Summit Digital 2020, a few smartphone manufacturers such as Xiaomi and realme have announced that their new smartphone development will be powered by the new processor on their respective official social media accounts.
