Digital Chat Station, a well-known Chinese Weibo tipster, has reported that the next Xiaomi 12 Ultra smartphone would be powered by a yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ processor. Given that Qualcomm’s flagship SoC Plus variants are normally introduced in H2, the Xiaomi 12 Ultra is unlikely to be announced before the end of Q3 2022.

With an unidentified Qualcomm SM8475 SoC, a gadget with the appropriate model number has appeared on the radar. And, given that the current non-Plus SD 8 Gen 1 chip has the product number SM8450, we may safely presume that this is the Plus variant.
Qualcomm’s upcoming Plus model, according to rumors, will be built using TSMC’s 4nm process rather than Samsung’s, which the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is based on.
