We’ve all heard (and read) a lot so far about Xiaomi Mi 5C, the next smartphone to be unveiled by the Chinese company. Some rumors insist that this phone will pack a Snapdragon 825 SoC but others – today- say that perhaps there will be 2 variants of the device, the second of which will use Pinecone, Xiaomi’s own-made SoC!
Gizchina News of the week
So far rumors say that the Xiaomi Pinecone chipset will be a direct competitor to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 808 SoC, which means that it will be quite a bargain or someone who wants a value for money smartphone (affordable that is), with decent specifications to compete against other devices. In other words we should consider Xiaomi Pinecone SoC as an affordable solution for mid-range smartphones.
The Xiaomi Mi 5C (codenamed Xiaomi Meri) is expected to launch later this month, packing a 5.5 inch full HD display, 3GB of RAM, 64GB of native storage, 13MPixels main camera and an 8MP selfie camera.
Snapdragon 825? Not in news that Qualcomm is planning to launch it
It is Snapdragon 625 as reported earlier, This is a mid ranger smartphone and 835 is still far away as Samsung is lobbying for the processor
there are 2 versions one uses 8 core A53 other is on 10nm using 4 high performance cores.
likely scenario is that they will launch this processor on Mi5c in 3rd or 4th quarter of the year. which is very late. by that time SD will have a refreshed lineup of SD 653.

625 makes more sense in this context. Thanks.
