The reported development is recorded under the focus phrase Xiaomi Xring O3 chip. Xiaomi has unveiled the Xring O3, a new in-house smartphone processor that expands the Chinese company’s effort to control more of the technology used in its devices. Reuters reported the announcement on Monday, citing the company’s move to strengthen its component supply chain.

The chip follows Xiaomi’s Xring O1, its first proprietary smartphone processor. Reuters reported that Xiaomi has also arranged production with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company for other Xring components, while the companies did not immediately provide further comment on every production detail.

The Xring O3 arrives as smartphone makers develop their own silicon to reduce dependence on outside suppliers. Xiaomi’s strategy places its processor work alongside similar efforts by Apple, Samsung Electronics and Huawei.
