Xiaomi showcases its first ever in-house chipset - Surge S1

-


Just as teased and teased, right on the date, Xiaomi unveiled the Surge S1 - its first in-house chipset.



This is the lower-tier of the two Pinecone CPUs Xiaomi has planned and is built on a 28nm process. In comparison, the higher-end Pinecone V970 we're waiting on will be built around the efficient 10nm process.


The Surge S1 has eight Cortex-A53 processing cores, four clocked at 2.2GHz and the other four - at a more battery-conscious 1.4GHz.

The graphics chip inside the Surge S1 is a quad-core Mali-T860 which makes an appearance in a lot of midrangers out there although in its dual-core variation.



The Surge S1 will compete mostly with the likes of the Huawei Kirin 650 (16nm, 8x A53, Mali-T830), Snapdragon 430 (28nm, 8x A53, Adreno 505), Exynos 7580 (28nm, 4x A53, Mali-T830) and the MediaTek MT6738T (28nm, 8x A53, Mali-T860).



The Xiaomi Surge S1 is featured in the brand-new Xiaomi Mi 5c, announced just now and is expected to be featured in other, upcoming Xiaomi smartphones.

We're now more eager to see the higher-end Pinecone chipset Xiaomi has in store.

Opening that up reveals a new section for managing duplicate contacts. That’s a feature that was present on the web app of Contacts , but the process was more convoluted on the Android app. You can now also add labels to your contacts, making it easy to organize large contact lists based on groups, for things like family, work, or school. That’s another feature that was present on the web app and it’s now finally making the jump to the Android app, a place where it’s actually more likely to be used.
