Xiaomi is reportedly working on a new smartphone, which is said to be powered by the yet to be announced Qualcomm Snapdragon 638 SoC. The device has been spotted on Geekbench, by GizmoChina, with the codename “Valentino” and is listed running on the octa-core Snapdragon 638 processor, which is clocked at 1.44GHz. The listing also reveals that the handset runs on the latest Android 8.1 Oreo operating system with 6GB RAM and manages to obtain 1485 points in the Geekbench single-core test and 5440 points in the multi-core tests. Going by the scores, the Snapdragon 638 performs better on single-core tests as compared to the Snapdragon 650 but scores slightly lower than the Snapdragon 820.
Xiaomi's previously launched Redmi Note 5 Pro is the first smartphone which was launched running on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 SoC. The company had also launched the Mi Mix 2S, which became the first smartphone to be powered by the Snapdragon 845 SoC. Speaking of the Redmi Note 5 Pro, Xiaomi recently announced a price hike on the device and its 4GB RAM variant will now cost Rs 1,000 extra. This gives an upper hand to the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1, which is competing against the Xiaomi smartphone.
