One of the main leaders of the Chinese company Xiaomi explained the fate of the next generation of patented Xiaomi Surge monocrystal system.

According to product manager, Wang Teng Thomas, the Surge S2 platform has not been canceled and continues to be developed by the company. To explain this delay, he pointed out some "unexpected" problems.

It supports LPDDR4 RAM and UFS 2.1 flash drives. In terms of performance, it is approximately equivalent to Kirin 960.
