Processor
The newly launched Mi Mix 2 is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor clocked at 2.45 GHz. This alone is one of the biggest updates to the phone. Compared to the Snapdragon 821 which was there on the Mi Mix, the 835 is much faster and more efficient and that happens despite it having twice as many cores as the Snapdragon 821.
The big reason for this is that Qualcomm is using a 10nm manufacturing process. It also has 6GB RAM as opposed to 4GB RAM on the standard Mi Mix. There’s also a special version of the phone which gets 8GB RAM matched only by phones like the OnePlus 5 and the Asus ZenFone AR. This is a pretty massive upgrade for the phone.
