What you need to know

  • Xiaomi could launch the first phone with Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 888 chipset later this month.
  • The Mi 11 Pro is rumored to come with a QHD+ display featuring a 120Hz refresh rate.
  • The next Xiaomi flagship is also expected to offer upgraded cameras and faster charging speeds.

Earlier this week, Qualcomm introduced its latest flagship mobile processor, the Snapdragon 888. Soon after the flagship chip was unveiled, Xiaomi announced that it would be the first to launch a phone powered by the new Snapdragon 888. While the company's next flagship was previously expected to be introduced in January 2021, tipster Ice Universe has now claimed that the Mi 11 series will be released "at the end of December."

The tipster also says that the upcoming flagship phone will have a "four-curved screen design." As revealed by a recent leak, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro is expected to feature a QHD+ resolution screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. Xiaomi's Mi 10 Pro, which was launched in February this year, features a 90Hz FHD+ display. The Mi 10T Pro, which made its debut in September, comes with a 144Hz FHD+ display. While the rest of the phone's tech specs remain a mystery at this point, we expect the Mi 11 series to come with upgraded cameras and faster charging speeds as well.

Xiaomi isn't the only smartphone maker that is rumored to unveil its next-gen flagship phones earlier than expected. Samsung will be taking the wraps off its Galaxy S21 series in mid-January, while the OnePlus 9 series is going to debut in March. OPPO, Realme, and a few other smartphone makers are also expected to introduce their first Snapdragon 888-powered flagships early next year.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
