In terms of specifications, we don’t have much information about this new Xiaomi flagship. We could expect it to pack the recently-announcedSnapdragon 865+ chipset, seen on theAsus ROG Phone 3and theLenovo Legion Phone Duel.
However, popular tipster Digital Chat Station claims it may come with a Snapdragon 865 chip just like theMi 10 and Mi 10 Pro. It remains to be seen if Xiaomi decides to stick to a chipset that gotannounced in December last yearfor a special edition device that marks an important milestone in the company’s history. The tipster also claims that the device may feature a 120Hz AMOLED display.
Going by reliable tipster Ice Universe’s tweet, the Mi 10 Pro+ will featureGPU customization featuresmade in partnership with Qualcomm. The feature will be part of Xiaomi’s Game Turbo and will have controls for tweaking anti-aliasing, anisotropic filter, and the texture filter.
A recent Rheinland certification hints that the new devicewill feature a 4,500mAh battery, the same capacity as the Mi 10 Pro. The device may support120W fast chargingand 55W wireless charging, although we would recommend taking it with a grain of salt.
Considering this is a special edition, we should not expect the company to make a complete specification overhaul. We will be learning more about the handset next week and hence, stay tuned for updates.
