Qualcomm, MediaTek chipsets set up low-cost 5G phone clash

Powered by the new offering, the Snapdragon 4G Gen 2 chipset, Xioami is all set to launch the first sub-₹10,000 smartphone, the Poco M6, which goes on sale from August 9 across retail channels, and exclusively Flipkart.

The new chipset from American chip designer Qualcomm has also been used to power the Redmi 12, a 5G phone which went on sale on August 5 at an affordable price tag of ₹10,999.

Over 200,000 pieces of the Redmi 12 were sold on the first day through various retail channels, including Amazon and M1 online sites, where stocks vanished in no time, according to market analysts.

According to Qualcomm, it is the first chip in the series to be built on a 4-nanometre node and provides 10 per cent better performance than its predecessors.
