It is important to note that the SM8250 single-chip system is usually Snapdragon 865, but in this case, a new, more advanced version of the chip will be used – Snapdragon 870, which has already been rumored earlier. This single-chip system will use the same process technology and architecture as the Snapdragon 865. But the most productive core (Kryo 585, Cortex-A77) will operate at 3.2 GHz, not 3.1 GHz, which is the highest to date. the frequency for the Cortex-A77 cores (in the Kirin 9000, for example, it reaches 3.13 GHz).

Qualcomm will allegedly launch the Snapdragon 870 as a simplified flagship. Thus, it will appear in various pseudo-flagship smartphones. Adreno 650 graphics frequency is said to increase too. In the single-core mode of the GeekBench test, the new Snapdragon 870 scores 1034, and in the multi-core mode – 3513. This is noticeably higher than the Snapdragon 865 and is closer to this year’s flagship Snapdragon 888.

The Snapdragon 870 is reportedly used not only by the Redmi brand but also by companies such as Vivo, OPPO, and Sony. By the way, Qualcomm has previously released the Snapdragon 865 Plus chip, the performance of which has increased by 10% compared to the base Snapdragon 865.

Lu Weibing said that Redmi K series smartphones have always been “flagship killers” and added, “This time, we will continue to subvert the high-end flagship market by offering the best configurations at attractive prices that cannot be discarded. “
