Xiaomi 15S Pro And Pad 7 Ultra Launch With Its First In-House Chip

Xiaomi just announced its first homemade chip. The new Xiaomi XRING O1 SoC is going to power the brand-new Xiaomi 15S Pro Android phone and Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra.

Xiaomi seems to be breaking off from using Qualcomm’s SoCs, opting to use a new chipset built on a 3nm process. The new SoC will be found in OEM devices under the XRING O1 moniker, and it brings 10 cores within the CPU and a 16-core Immortalis GPU. The chip will also house a 6-core NPU for the amount of AI Xiaomi plans for its devices to process.

The first notable device with the expected XRING O1 SoC will be the new Xiaomi 15S. On the outside, the new device from Xiaomi is all flash. That comes in the fiberglass back and gold-accented power key on the side for the basic version, while the Composite Fiber version will bring carbon and aramid fiber panels.

Internally, the phone will have a 6,100mAh battery for an extended lifespan per charge. The display will be powered by a 2K panel with up to 3,200 nits of brightness.

Xiaomi put a lot into the camera array, with a Leica Summilux triple-lens build. The array is noted to bring real-time HDR and AI noise reduction, helped along by the proprietary NPU.

The Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra will also be powered by the XRING O1 chip. That tablet will house a 14-inch 3.2K OLED panel with a brightness of up to 1,600 nits. The battery within will be a massive 12,000mAh cell with an estimated 18.95 hours of video playback and 528 days in ultra-power-saving mode.

Xiaomi notes that HyperOS 2 will be optimized for the tablet and offer exceptional multitasking, though it’ll be interesting to see how it performs in real testing.

The Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra will be compatible with the company’s new magnesium alloy tablet keyboard, built specifically for this unit.

The new Xiaomi 15S Pro will be available starting at 5499 RMB with the new chip, while the new Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra will start at 5499 RMB.
