Xiaomi says its first-generation Xring chip has already shipped more than one million units, and a fresh leak now suggests the company is lining up an even broader device plan built around its own silicon, software, and AI stack.
The new report, cited by IT Home from tipster Digital Chat Station, claims Xiaomi has already set the launch schedule for a future terminal product that will bring together a next-generation in-house chip, a large AI model, and the company’s own operating system. The timing is said to be a little later than some recent online speculation, though no exact date was shared.
The claim lines up with comments Xiaomi founder, chairman, and CEO Lei Jun made during the company’s investor day, where he said the Xring O1 chip has shipped past the one-million mark. He also said Xiaomi plans to extend its self-developed chips beyond phones and into cars, suggesting a wider hardware strategy rather than a one-off mobile experiment.
IT Home also points back to Xiaomi’s earlier statements around long-term in-house development. At the 2025 Xiaomi technology awards, the company highlighted the Xring O1 as a major technical milestone. Lei Jun previously said Xiaomi wants to spend at least 10 years and at least 50 billion yuan on large-chip development, and company figures cited by IT Home say Xring-related R&D spending had already exceeded 13.5 billion yuan by the end of April 2025.
If this roadmap holds, Xiaomi’s next milestone won’t just be another processor update. It would mark a more unified product built around the company’s own silicon, software platform, and AI model strategy at the same time — a step Xiaomi has framed as one of its biggest long-term technology goals.
