Chinese phone brand Xiaomi and Taiwan-based semiconductor company MediaTek launched their first joint laboratory on Tuesday, focusing on three major technologies: phone performance, telecommunications, and AI. The deal was announced by Redmi, a Xiaomi sub-brand, on China’s X-like platform Weibo. The joint lab’s first product will be the Redmi K70 Premium Edition, a budget-friendly mid-ranger that aims to achieve maximum optimization in performance benchmarks, game frame rates, and concurrent time for game frame boosting. Redmi’s general manager Wang Teng revealed that the joint lab has equipped the Redmi K70 Premium Edition with a next-gen dedicated gaming GPU and their self-developed dual-chip scheduling technology, in addition to the core chipset Dimensity 9300+.
