The game in which he participated Xiaomi regarding Qualcomm's latest chipset, lo Snapdragon 888, makes it the real protagonist right away. Also because, the brand will be the first manufacturer to launch one smartphone with that SoC and by the way it was right Lei Jun to anticipate the early rumors as to why it was called that.

To confirm that the feeling between Qualcomm e Xiaomi was quite important though, it gives us a tweet that the Chinese giant has posted in these hours, which takes up a previous one of August 2018, where he wrote precisely "888… what do you think it is? " and at the time the brand referred to the triad of My 8 (standard, SE and Explorer Edition) but now that "Now you know what we were referring to”By placing the hashtag with the name of the Snapdragon of the 2021, has raised some curious doubts.
