Earlier today, Qualcomm announced three new mobile processors and one of them is the Snapdragon 720G. This new chipset is the successor to the Snapdragon 710 Mobile Platform. Following the announcement, Realme’s CEO, Madhav Sheth took to Twitter to announce that they will launch a Snapdragon 720G phone. Now, Xiaomi has also announced it will launch one too.

CEO of Xiaomi India, Manu Kumar Jain, posted a tweet revealing that Xiaomi will be one of the first brands to launch the latest Snapdragon processors from Qualcomm. He then listed the Snapdragon 865, Snapdragon 765G, and the Snapdragon 720G, thus confirming that there will be a Xiaomi (or Redmi) phone powered by the new Snapdragon 720G processor.

We already know the Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro will be powered by the Snapdragon 865, and Redmi already announced a phone powered by the Snapdragon 765G processor called the Redmi K30 5G. However, our guess is as good as yours when it comes to the Snapdragon 720G phone. Nevertheless, we have a couple of guesses.

While there has been no report of a Mi 10 SE, we cannot rule out the possibility of it launching. The Mi 8 SE and the Mi 9 SE are powered by the Snapdragon 710 and Snapdragon 712 mobile platforms respectively, so it is not far fetched that the Mi 10 SE will have the new Snapdragon 720G inside.

Another possible device is the Mi 10 Lite which should be the successor to the Mi 9 Lite. However, that may not launch until the third quarter of the year.

The Snapdragon 720G brings new features such as WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, and support for 90Hz and 120Hz displays. Unlike the Snapdragon 712 and Snapdragon 710 that are 10nm processors, the Snapdragon 720G is an 8nm chipset with more powerful cores. The smaller node size will translate to an improvement in performance and efficiency.

Are you excited about the Snapdragon 720G? Which manufacturer do you think will announce a phone powered by the new processor first, Realme or Xiaomi? Do let us know your guesses in the comment box.
