According to Chinese sources, Xiaomi is working on an updated version of the Xiaomi 12 Pro smartphone. The updated version will be equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. The new model will be stronger than the previous one.

    According to Digital Chat Station, one of the most reliable sources of the mobile ecosystem, Xiaomi has decided to update the Xiaomi 12 Pro. The smartphone with model number L2S is tested with SM8475 processor. It is claimed that this processor is Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. The company previously used the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor in the Xiaomi 12 Pro. However, according to test results, this processor did not meet expectations. As the performance of the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset surpassed that of Snapdragon, Qualcomm accelerated the production of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. Apparently, Xiaomi also wants to update its smartphone with this chipset.

    Qualcomm has been working with Samsung for several years to produce chipsets. The previous Snapdragon 888 chipset was also manufactured by Samsung, and both users and Qualcomm were dissatisfied due to performance issues. Allegedly, the next production of chipsets may take place with TSMC, instead of Samsung. Chipsets can work more efficiently because TSMC`s production methods are better optimized.

    The presentation of the new chipset is scheduled for April. The updated Xiaomi 12 Pro will also be available in the summer.
