According to Gizmo China, a new Weibo post by an industry insider claimed that the Xiaomi Mi 7 flagship phone will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset. The yet-to-be announced Snapdragon 845 chipset is rumored to debut sometime next year.
The chipset will be based on the new 7-nanometer technology. The upcoming smartphones Samsung Galaxy S9 and LG G7 are also expected to get launched with the Snapdragon 845 SoC next year.

Among other specs, the Xiaomi Mi 7 is expected to feature a 6-inch full HD active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display, either 6GB or 8GB of RAM and a dual rear camera setup including a wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens.
The handset will reportedly flaunt a glass and ceramic casing and feature a physical home button on the front that will also work as a fingerprint scanner.
