Redmi Taunts OnePlus by Teasing Its Upcoming Superior Smartphone Powered by Snapdragon 8 Series SoC

Redmi continues to expand its product lineup. After recently introducing the Display G Pro 27 MiniLED gaming monitor in China, the company isn’t slowing down. Reports suggest new Redmi smartphones are on the horizon. Details about these mysterious phones are limited, but Redmi hinted at their performance through a post on its official Weibo account. They even ridiculed the new OnePlus Ace 3V. Here are the details.

Redmi Challenges OnePlus with Upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Phone

The OnePlus Ace 3V was recently unveiled. It’s meant to be a mid-range phone, so it comes with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 processor. Xiaomi’s Redmi wasn’t too impressed with that, though. They shared a poster for their own upcoming smartphone, highlighting that it’ll use the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. And they didn’t stop there. The poster has a “8>7” sign and obviously taking a shot at the OnePlus Ace 3V’s processor.

Of course, Redmi has a valid point. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 is undoubtedly a flagship processor, while the 7+ Gen 3 sits in the mid-range category. This translates to a significant performance difference, roughly 20-30% for CPU and 30-40% for GPU. The 8s Gen 3 also boasts superior energy efficiency, AI capabilities, and advancements in other areas.

However performance isn’t the whole story. Redmi is known for its budget-friendly offerings. By criticizing the OnePlus Ace 3V’s processor, they might be hinting at a competitor in a similar price bracket. Remember, the OnePlus Ace 3V starts at around $277 for the base variant (12GB RAM + 256GB storage). While Redmi wouldn’t directly match that price point, a hypothetical Redmi phone with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 in the $250-$300 range could be very tempting for budget-conscious buyers, potentially swaying them away from the OnePlus Ace 3V.

Of course there are some claims and leaks circulating. We don’t know the model name yet, but there’s a possibility it could be part of the Redmi K or Note series, or even an entirely new series. Additionally, it’s claimed that its price will be around 1999 yuan (approximately $280). Of course, we’ll have to wait for the official phone unveiling to confirm if these details are accurate.
