- The first Android phone featuring the new Snapdragon 888 processor was just unveiled in China — the Xiaomi Mi 11.
- The Snapdragon 888 platform will power several Android handsets in 2021, and it’ll compete directly with the iPhone 12's A14 Bionic. Both chips are built on the same 5nm process.
- The Mi 11 starts at around $610 in China, offering quite a few features that likely won’t be available on other devices in that price range.
Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon 888 processor a few weeks ago, revealing that a slew of Android handset makers will use the next-gen mobile platform. Most of them will unveil their 888-based creations next year, as is the case with the Galaxy S21 series that launches in a few weeks. But one smartphone maker decided to announce a new flagship this year. That’s Chinese handset maker Xiaomi, whose Mi 11 series has been rumored to feature the new processor. Leaks revealed more details about this first true iPhone 12 competitor, indicating that Xiaomi planned to launch a Mi 11 and Mi 11 Pro before the end of the year.
As expected, Xiaomi held its December 28th press event in China, introducing just the Mi 11 version. The phone is now available for preorder in China starting at 3,999 yuan ($612).
