TechFirst Xiaomi, then the world: Arm could give phone gaming a major graphics boost

The Xiaomi 18 Fold launches in mainland China with Arm’s Mali G2-Ultra NX GPU inside the custom Xring O3 chip. After five years of development, Arm has added an AI gaming graphics accelerator supporting neural upscaling, frame generation, and denoising. The technology is designed to deliver higher-resolution, better-lit mobile games without higher power use, with broader device launches expected next year and frame generation planned for early 2027.
