In the last week, Xiaomi had confirmed through Weibo that its Mi MIX 2S flagship phone will be launching on March 27. The Weibo post also confirmed that the Snapdragon 845 chipset will be powering the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S.

The Weibo post carries a challenging question “How fast is your Snapdragon 845? This indicates that Snapdragon 845 powered Mi MIX 2S will offer better performance than rivals.
Xiaomi has developed a good relationship in Qualcomm in the recent years. The Chinese manufacturer has used the Snapdragon 625 mid-range chipset to power many of its smartphones such as Redmi Note 5, Mi Max 2, Mi A1, Redmi Note 4 and Redmi Note 4X. In December, Xiaomi was present at Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Tech Summit 2017.
