MediaTek announced the launch of the Dimensity 1080 chipset for 5G smartphones. The 5G chipset offers significantly upgraded camera features compared to its predecessor, the Dimensity 920.
5G Smartphones powered by the Dimensity 1080 will be available in the market by Q4 2022. Dimensity 1080 supports sub-6GHz 5G networks and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity.
“This new chipset is designed to enhance many of the functions that made its predecessor great, including processing power, camera and video quality, and time to market for manufacturers,” said CH Chen, Deputy General Manager of Wireless Communications Business Unit at MediaTek.
The Dimensity 1080 has an upgraded octa-core CPU with two Arm Cortex-A78 CPU cores operating at up to 2.6GHz, combined with an Arm Mali-G68 GPU, for faster performance. The 5G chipset’s 6nm design provides a host of power-savings benefits that deliver longer battery life.
