It’s been a massive week for Android. Firstly, Qualcomm revealed its new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor which looks set to take phone performance to a whole new level. Then, in a first-of-kind announcement, Chinese smartphone firm Xiaomi immediately revealed it’s launching a device that will feature this next-generation brain.

The new Xiaomi 14 will be revealed later this week and whilst full specs are yet to be confirmed, we do know for sure that it will be powered by the 8 Gen 3.

That puts it one step ahead of its rivals with other firms such as Samsung, Oppo and Sony yet to reveal their full plans for the inclusion of this processor.

We’ll find out more details about the Xiaomi 14 on October 26 but it will get some serious performance thanks to Qualcomm’s chipset.
