Final Verdict: Should You Care About the Xring O1?
Who this phone is for:
- Tech enthusiasts who want to own a piece of history (this is China’s first mass-produced 3nm phone chip)
- Gamers who primarily play on Wi-Fi
- Photography lovers who appreciate Leica’s color science
- Anyone who wants flagship specs without paying Apple or Samsung prices
Who should wait:
- Heavy 5G users (the external modem hurts battery life)
- People who need the absolute best video stabilization
- Those who prefer mature, proven platforms over first-gen silicon
The Xring O1 is an impressive first effort. It trades blows with the Snapdragon 8 Elite and A18 Pro in CPU performance, offers a beastly GPU for gaming, and includes a capable ISP that—while not perfect—delivers beautiful Leica-tuned photos.
Is it perfect? No. The external modem is a compromise, and the ISP needs refinement. But for a first-generation in-house chip from a company better known for affordable phones than cutting-edge silicon? It’s remarkable.
Xiaomi has joined the exclusive club of companies that design their own flagship processors. And honestly? The Xring O1 makes me excited about what the Xring O2 will bring.
