Xiaomi seems to have decided not to leave any detail to be revealed at the presentation of the Xiaomi Mi 10 series, already set for February 13 in China. The company has in fact just confirmed some of the features that we will find on the next flagships, such as 6 WiFi, UFS 3.0 and the already anticipated RAM LPDDR5 together with the SD 865 CPU; let's find out more.
Xiaomi Mi 10: Confirmed presence of WiFi 6 and "new generation" UFS 3.0
Let's start from the first functionality just mentioned, namely WiFi 6. The new WiFi standard brings different technologies such as OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access) which allows to have a low transmission data-rate by each user; then we have the 8 x 8 MU-MIMO technology (multiple-input and multiple-output) which instead will allow us to use multiple independent radio terminals in order to improve the communication capabilities of each individual terminal, in particular we could use up to 8 terminals at the same time.
Finally, always with WiFi 6 comes the TWT (Target Wake Time) technology, the one that allows the device to negotiate when and how often the WiFi turns on and off, based on when you have to send and receive data.
For practical purposes, thanks to WiFi 6 we should see an increase in maximum download speed of up to 9,6 Gbps. At the same time, it significantly reduces energy consumption, improving the autonomy of the smartphone.
As for UFS 3.0 technology, thanks to the introduction of the Write Turbo function, there is now a "cache area" inside the memory. The performance of the cache area is obviously better, with the data it can be received and stored faster. Instead, when the chip is idle, UFS 3.0 memory moves data from the cache area to the conventional storage area. According to Xiaomi, Write Turbo is like adding a "turbo engine" to writing, offering the Mi 10 a sequential writing capacity of up to 730 MB per second.
Xiaomi then reminded us that the smartphone will adopt an LPDDR5 RAM and the brand new and performing Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 as CPU.
