Today, however, we got very interesting information about Xiaomi’s upcoming flagship. We cannot confirm it, but the Xiaomi Mix 3 could be the first smartphone to launch with the Snapdragon 855 processor. An image from Weibo revealed some major specs of the phone and we were surprised to see that the phone has Snapdragon 855 chipset. There is a 6.4-inch screen, a 3,850mAh battery underneath, 20MP + 16MP dual cameras on the back and up to 8GB RAM + 256GB storage.

Now, the Snapdragon 855 is yet to be announced officially by Qualcomm, and we are expecting it to be announced by the end of 2018.
