Xiaomi's Mi 10 lineup currently includes eight smartphones - Mi 10 5G, Mi 10 Pro 5G, Mi 10 Ultra, Mi 10T 5G, Mi 10T Pro 5G, Mi 10 Lite 5G, Mi 10T Lite 5G, and Mi 10i 5G. Except for the last three, all smartphones in the series are powered by the Snapdragon 865 SoC. Now we hear the Chinese phone maker is working on a new Mi 10 variant with the freshly announced Snapdragon 870 at the helm.

Word comes from a reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, who didn't detail the specs of the new Mi 10 but said that it will be priced around CNY3,500 ($540/€445) in China.

The Snapdragon 870 SoC is essentially a Snapdragon 865++ since it shares most of the specs with the 865+ but comes with the prime core clocked at 3.2GHz. You can head this way to know more about Snapdragon 870.

The first Snapdragon 870-powered smartphone will be the Motorola Edge S, which will be unveiled today. OnePlus, Oppo and iQOO have also promised to launch phones with Snapdragon 870, but they are yet to share an exact date for the same.
