Xiaomi unveils its new Xring O3 processor
Xiaomi has unveiled its new-generation Xring O3 processor. According to Reuters, citing sources, the chip will be manufactured by Taiwan's TSMC using a 3-nanometer process.
The Xring O3 combines core functions such as central processing, graphics processing, artificial intelligence and image processing in a single chip. With this, Xiaomi wants to develop one of the key technologies used in its premium devices in-house and gradually reduce its dependence on external chipmakers such as Qualcomm and MediaTek. However, the Xring O3 will not yet be used widely in Xiaomi smartphones. According to the report, the processor will be featured in one of the company's upcoming flagship foldable smartphones, with shipments of only 200,000-300,000 units planned. Given that Xiaomi sells tens of millions of smartphones each quarter, this is a fairly small volume. A similar strategy was also seen with the previous Xring O1 processor. Total shipments of the O1 processor, which was unveiled in May 2025, have exceeded 1 million units across smartphones, tablets and smartwatches. However, only approximately 150,000 of those units went into smartphones. These figures show that Xiaomi is not currently trying to completely replace Qualcomm and MediaTek with its own processors. Instead, the company is developing its ability to create advanced chips and testing the technology in a limited number of premium products.
