Now we hear the Chinese phone maker is working on a new Mi 10 variant with the freshly announced Snapdragon 870 at the helm.

The Snapdragon 870 SoC is essentially a Snapdragon 865++ since it shares most of the specs with the 865+ but comes with the prime core clocked at 3.2GHz. You can head this way to know more about Snapdragon 870.

The first Snapdragon 870-powered smartphone will be the Motorola Edge S, which will be unveiled today. OnePlus, Oppo and iQOO have also promised to launch phones with Snapdragon 870, but they are yet to share an exact date for the same.
