Why Xiaomi’s Universal Chip, XRING O2, Is Taking the Scenic Route to Market

xiring o2 market journey

Given that the XRING 01 was introduced back in May, it would be extremely improbable to expect Xiaomi to present a successor so rapidly. Still, the trademark filing indicates that the XRING 02 is in its early stages; thus, the business has probably begun development on it. Recent rumors suggest Xiaomi could take some time before formally releasing its second in-house SoC, as the XRING 02 may be employed not just in tablets and smartphones but maybe also in upcoming batches of Xiaomi YU7 SUV

Before this silicon may be used on the roads, though, several verifications will need to be performed. Earlier speculation indicated Xiaomi is aggressively using the XRING 02, which will be applied to a greater range of products. It is worth pointing out before getting into the most recent story posted by Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station that this same source had before said that the Xiaomi XRING 02 was being tested for usage in several gadgets, including cars and smartwatches.

Given that the Xiaomi XRING 01 is presently only included into one smartphone and two tablets, the time required for exhaustive testing of the SoC would be substantially cut. But regarding the most recent Digital Chat Station allegations, Xiaomi may take its time with the XRING 02 as several verifications are required before any vehicle fitted with the silicon can begin its first journey. Managing several car operations, the XRING 02 is also likely to oversee the car’s diagnostics via the chipset.

Many tests are absolutely vital since if a serious road accident is found to be caused by a hardware fault, it could generate a major wave of unfavorable press for Xiaomi. With these devices, the human life component is not a consideration, therefore this level of accountability cannot be transferred when the Xiaomi XRING 02 is used in cellphones, tablets, or even smartwatches.
