Xiaomi plans to develop its custom chip for future devices to reduce reliance on Qualcomm and MediaTek. A custom chip could enhance Xiaomi's ecosystem integration and help it comply with Chinese guidelines. Developing a reliable custom chip is challenging, as exemplified by the struggles of Samsung and Google.

A report claims Xiaomi is moving away from Qualcomm and MediaTek when it comes to its phone chips. As a result, the Chinese OEM may put its investments into creating phone chips in-house for its 2025 series.

According to a new report, Xiaomi will make its own chip for 2025 Android phones, a move similar to Google Pixel's Tensor chip.

Xiaomi’s move could help with China’s goal of tech self-reliance, but only Apple and Google have completely transitioned to self-designed silicon.

Xiaomi is preparing a self-designed mobile processor for its upcoming smartphones in an effort to reduce its reliance on foreign suppliers Qualcomm and MediaTek.
