Xiaomi has confirmed just now that it will be the first company to bring the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC on a phoone. The company just confirmed the chipset, but didn't name the device it will be powered with. However, we know that it is the Xiaomi 17 series.

The new flagship devices are expected to launch some time in the near future.
