Xiaomi still loves Qualcomm

Rumours of a fall-out between Xiaomi and Qualcomm have proved false – the coming Xiaomi Mi5 will have Qualcomm’s new 820 chip under the bonnet.

It had been thought that the pair had an argument over the payment of royalties for 4G/3G modem technology. Other rumours suggested that Xiaomi had been seeing other suppliers.

In fact it was seen talking to MediaTek and it was thought that it was going to get a contract to supply the new Helio X20 series Deca-core processor for the Mi5.

Then when the Mi5 was delayed it was thought that this was because the chip was being swapped over. Now it appears that Mediatek and Xiaomi are just good friends, although it is unclear why the phone was delayed.

Now, IHS market research firm head Kevin Wang, has categorically dismissed all speculations and has said that the Xiaomi Mi5 will indeed come with 64-bit Snapdragon 820 quad-core SoC (System on Chip).
