Xiaomi has been releasing promotional videos ahead of the launch of its flagship smartphones, the Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro, on Thursday, February 13. One promotional video posted on Weibo shows the Mi 10 taking on a Rubik’s Cube world champion and coming out on top.

The video, which was shared by Lei Jun, the company’s CEO, pits world champion, Du Yusheng, against robotic arms powered by the Mi 10 which in turn is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 processor.

The world record time for solving a Rubik’s Cube is actually 3.47 seconds while Du Yusheng’s own record is 6.47 seconds. However, with the Mi 10 powered robot, the battle is even over before you know it as the robot completes the challenge in just 1:43 seconds.

In another test carried out to demonstrate the processing power of the Mi 10 (Snapdragon 865), the phone is pitted against a notebook powered by Intel’s Core i7-8550U processor to calculate the value of Pi to a decimal of 10 million (only last 200 digits visible). The Mi 10 completed the calculation in 36.8 seconds while it took the notebook 92 seconds.

The Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro will be announced at an online-only event on Thursday, February 13 in China. It will then get a global launch in Spain on 23rd February. With manufacturers canceling their MWC 2020 press events and even pulling out completely, we won’t be surprised if the Mi 10 global launch event gets canceled too.
