Xiaomi's home-brewed mobile CPU, called the Surge S1, is an octa-core 64-bit processor (2.2GHz quad-core A53 + 1.4GHz quad-core A53) that runs up to 2.2GHz at max frequency. The first Xiaomi phone to be powered by its new chipset is the long rumoured Mi 5c which seems to be some kind of variant of the company's flagship Mi 5. Built on the 28nm High Performance Computing (HPC) process, Xiaomi's Surge S1 CPU comes with a Mali-T860 quad-core GPU and a 14-bit dual ISP for "enhanced image processing capabilities." As for the Mi 5c, Xiaomi's new phone comes with an all-metal body -- 132g and 7.09mm in thickness - and a 5.15-inch display with 550-nit brightness. The Surge S1 and the Mi 5c were accompanied by a second smartphone, called the Redmi 4X, which comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 processor and a 4,100mAh battery.
