However, there is no confirmed information on when the company is planning to launch the phone with this chipset in the Indian market. We expect it to launch the phone in India by the end of this year.
To be noted, Xiaomi was earlier banned from launching smartphones with MediaTek chipsets. However, last year Xiaomi introduced Redmi 6-series in India that was powered by MediaTek processors. To recall, Xiaomi launched the Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A smartphones with Helio P22 and Helio A22 processors in India last year. So, this will be the first time Xiaomi using a top-end MediaTek chip. Xiaomi mostly uses Qualcomm’s chipsets in its devices.
The latest Helio G90 series chipsets are designed to be used in mid-range gaming smartphones. The 12nm process based chipsets have MediaTek’s HyperEngine technology to boost the gaming experience. The chipsets pack ARM Cortex-A76 and A55 CPUs with Mali — G76 GPU with speeds of up to 2.05GHz and 800MHz respectively. It supports up to 10GB of LPDDR4x RAM, 64MP single camera and multi-camera combinations, etc.
