Emir BardakçıA recently leaked Xiaomi prototype has generated considerable interest within the technology community, primarily due to its integration of Qualcomm’s as-yet-unreleased SM8850 processor and an unusually expansive secondary display. This device, highlighted by the well-known leaker Digital Chat Station, reportedly features what is described as a “horizontal large matrix full-size secondary screen DECO,” situated alongside a vertical punch-hole rear camera array inclusive of a periscope telephoto lens. The innovation appears to mark a significant departure from prior dual-screen implementations, such as the Xiaomi 11 Ultra’s comparatively modest rear display.
Advancements in Secondary Display Technology
The description suggests that Xiaomi’s new approach to secondary screens transcends conventional notification panels. Specifically, the device purportedly offers a wide, full-size horizontal display, potentially rivalling the primary screen in terms of functionality. Notable anticipated capabilities include:
- A matrix layout intended for enhanced multitasking and usability.
- Integration with the primary camera system, enabling advanced photographic functions and the possibility of utilizing the rear camera setup for selfies.
- Information-at-a-glance functionality and rapid access to essential features.
The Impact of the Snapdragon SM8850
At the core of this device is Qualcomm’s SM8850, a flagship chipset expected to deliver substantial performance improvements, particularly relevant for powering demanding hardware configurations such as dual displays while maintaining energy efficiency. The device is explicitly not a foldable, according to the leaker, suggesting Xiaomi is investigating multiple innovative form factors in parallel. There is speculation that this could be the rumoured “Pandora” project—a potential new category in Xiaomi’s product portfolio.
For current Xiaomi users seeking to optimize their devices, it is advisable to utilize platforms such as HyperOSUpdates.com for application updates, or explore tools like MemeOS Enhancer from the Play Store, which unlock additional features and enables direct system app updates.
Further developments are anticipated, and stakeholders are encouraged to monitor official Xiaomi communication channels for subsequent announcements.
