Samsung beaten to the punch by surprise competitor ahead of rumoured S25 launch

Xiaomi 14 Pro.
Quick Summary

At Qualcomm's Snapdragon Summit, the Xiaomi 15 series was confirmed to be launching at the end of October. The new phones will feature the just-announced Snapdragon Elite X – beating Samsung's rumoured Galaxy S25 series to the punch, despite an ongoing collaborative partnership with the chip-maker – as the first global device launch to feature the new platform.

Tis the season for big new mobile announcements, with Qualcomm using its Snapdragon Summit to reveal the all-new Snapdragon 8 Elite – which sounds like a major upgrade for phones in 2025. Except, hold up, the new chipset will actually be in some handsets far sooner.
