Taiwanese chipset maker MediaTek on Thursday launched its flagship Dimesity 8200 chipset for premium 5G smartphones. Smartphones powered by the Dimensity 8200 SoC will be capable of offering flagship-level experiences, including connectivity, gaming, multimedia, displays and imaging, but at a more accessible price point.
MediaTek Dimensity 8200-powered 5G smartphones will be launched globally this month.
The Dimensity 8200 SoC is built on the 4nm process, and it promises to deliver unparalleled power efficiency. It also integrates an octa-core CPU with four Arm Cortex-A78 cores operating at up to 3.1 GHz, along with a powerful Mali-G610 graphics engine, for better performance across apps.
“The MediaTek Dimensity 8200 will enhance the gaming experience on premium 5G smartphones, and will deliver smoother gameplay with higher framerates, impressive graphics, and seamless connectivity,” CH Chen, Deputy General Manager of MediaTek’s Wireless Communications Business Unit, said in a statement.
“Plus, the Dimensity 8200’s power efficiency enhancements make it so consumers don’t have to sacrifice battery life to enjoy super high performance.”

Powered by a flagship-level Imagiq 785 ISP, the Dimensity 8200 is capable of supporting 320MP photos and capturing true-to-life 14-bit HDR video on up to three cameras simultaneously, and recording cinematic video by double camera capture for the most natural bokeh effect, according to MediaTek. The chipset also has fast AI-noise reduction to retain fine details, particularly in low-light environments.
To recall, US-based chip-making giant Qualcomm introduced its latest premium mobile platform, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, at the Snapdragon Summit 2022 last month. The top-tier processor will be adopted by global smartphone players, including OnePlus, Oppo, Redmi, Asus Republic of Gamers, Honor, Motorola, nubia, Sharp, Sony Corporation, Xiaomi and ZTE, among others.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is an advanced 5G platform with “unparalleled” connectivity from 5G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Featuring the Snapdragon X70 5G Modem-RF System with Qualcomm 5G AI Processor, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 harnesses the power of AI to enable breakthrough 5G upload and download speeds, coverage, latency, and power efficiency.
