Xiaomi Mi 10E will be powered by Samsung's Exynos 990

A new soon-to-launch Xiaomi smartphone has recently appeared in the database of Geekbench dubbed as the Mi 10E.

Mi 10E will be powered by the Exynos 990 SoC

The listing at Geekbench revealed that it will be a handset equipped with the 2.7GHz 7nm Exynos 990 octa-core processor and Mali-G77 MP11 GPU. Geekbench also revealed that it has 8GB RAM and it goes with Android 10 OS out of the box.

Exynos 990 is the same chipset found on the Samsung Galaxy S20 series. However, this is not a well-received high-end chipset due to performance inconsistencies and throttling.

Even if Samsung claimed that this chip is on par with the Snapdragon 865, most benchmark and actual tests showed that the Exynos 990 is the inferior chip. A recent test also showed that it is even slower than the mid-range MediaTek Helio 90T in terms of gaming.

Xiaomi's use of this SoC is a bit questionable because its Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro flagship phones are powered by Snapdragon 865. Maybe, Xiaomi will position this device as a mid-ranger, not a flagship.
