Xiaomi is going to release the first Snapdragon 8s Elite smartphone with a huge battery

Xiaomi fans, get ready for the most exciting new addition to the REDMI family. The tech giant is on the verge of making history once again as it prepares the world’s first smartphone with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Elite processor. The revolutionary smartphone will feature the largest battery Xiaomi has ever used on any of its handsets and will come with some groundbreaking design innovations that will turn heads. The announcement comes on the heels of Qualcomm’s readiness for the official release of the new chip during the “Snapdragon Flagship New Product Media Salon” on April 2.

All That Is Known About the New Redmi Flagship

According to reputable industry insider Digital Chat Station, the latest Redmi device will carry some impressive features:

World’s first Snapdragon 8s Elite processor implementation
Breakthrough ultra-thin-edge straight-screen design
Colossal 7500mAh+ battery (Xiaomi’s largest capacity battery ever produced)
High-quality textured finish for better touch of the device

This feature-rich pairing brings the new REDMI device on par with current Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 devices, with the potential for delivering flagship levels of performance at Redmi’s traditionally lower prices.

Snapdragon 8s Elite: Technical Specifications

The Snapdragon 8s Elite, also referred to as a “Little Supreme” processor, will have impressive tech specs:

TSMC 4nm manufacturing process X4+ A720 full-core architecture
CPU configuration: 1×3.21GHz X4 + 3×3.01GHz A720 + 2×2.80GHz A720 + 2×2.02GHz A720
Adreno 825 GPU (same generation as the Adreno 830 of the Snapdragon 8 Elite, but with lower core size – SLC 6MB, L3 8MB
Expected AnTuTu benchmarking performance of over 2 million

Why this launch is significant

The release of this new Redmi flagship is Xiaomi’s attempt at pushing technological boundaries while maintaining their value proposition. The 7500mAh+ battery is particularly notable because it’s addressing one of the most common complaints for smartphone users: battery life.

As smartphone capabilities grow, power consumption also grows proportionally. Xiaomi’s aggressive addition of such a high battery capacity can set the new standard for the market and allow users the freedom of going for potentially several days on a single charge.

What You Can Expect at the Launch

While we don’t know the pricing and availability just yet, the fact that the event is just around the corner on April 2nd means we can reasonably anticipate the official announcement from Xiaomi shortly after. Xiaomi has historically been one of the earliest manufacturers to release new Qualcomm chipsets, and the latest is no exception.

Tune in for the latest updates as this latest REDMI device is ready to make its official release.
