Today, MediaTek has announced the commercial launch of its Dimensity 1080 SoC.
It is the successor to the popular Dimensity 920 5G chipset we saw in many smartphones this year.
The highlighting feature of the Dimensity 1080 5G is the 200MP camera support.
Lets take a look at this new mid-range chipset from MediaTek.
It is a successor to the Dimensity 920 5G that comes with higher performance.
Also, it offers better efficiency and enhanced camera performance.
It is based on a 6nm process and is MediaTeks first 5G chip to feature an integrated 5G modem.
The performance of the 5G chip got a slight upgrade.
It is a 6nm chip with an octa-core CPU with two Arm Cortex-A78 CPU cores operating at 2.6 GHz.
It also has 6 ARM Cortex-A55 cores, with frequencies up to 2GHz.
The GPU is still Mali-G68.
The new MediaTek Dimensity 1080 can process image data from the sensor through the Imagiq ISP.
The Dimensity 1080 supports 200MP cameras, 4K HDR video recording, and 5G connectivity.
It is also the first smartphone chipset to support the AV1 video codec.
The chip also comes with an LPDDR5 memory and UFS 3.1 storage modules.
However, the Dimensity 1080 still uses TSMCs 6nm process.
Nevertheless, the process is energy efficient, which means an extended battery life for the smartphone.
Which Smartphones will Feature the Dimensity 1080 5G Chipset?
It means we will see Dimensity 1080-powered smartphones on the market soon.
This machine will officially arrive in China this October.
