The goal is clear: create a next-generation platform that can compete head-to-head with the market leaders, offering superior performance and energy efficiency.
In the past, Xiaomi has already explored the territory of proprietary chipsets with the launch of the Surge S1, even if the project it had no significant sequel. However, the current initiative appears to have much bigger ambitions, aiming to position itself as a viable alternative to the solutions currently dominant on the market.

With the support of ARM, a world leader in chip architecture design, Xiaomi is ideally positioned to create a product that meets high expectations of the market and consumers.
The trend towards customization and technological independence, already evident in companies like Samsung with the line Exynos and Huawei with chipsets Kirin, highlights the importance of continuous innovation in the sector. Xiaomi, with its new ARM chipset, not only fits into this trend, but also proposes itself as a pioneer of a new technological era for smartphones thanks to its customization ability.
