MediaTek has announced another 5G-enabled chipset, just after the Qualcomm’ Snapdragon, the MediaTek Dimensity 720, and this one goes even lower in the price bracket. It’s also the first from the company in the Dimensity 700-series.
It’s built on the 7nm manufacturing process and employs an octa-core CPU that consists of 2x Cortex-A76 cores and 6x Cortex-A55 cores coupled with a Mali-G57 MC3 GPU. The chipset can be paired with LPDRR4X RAM and UFS 2.1 storage.
As far as 5G capabilities go, the mid-tier chip supports the sub-6GHz standard. To address the relatively higher power consumption of 5G, MediaTek is counting on the so-called 5G UltraSave technology to save on some juice.
Other notable features include 90Hz, HDR10+ display support, Bluetooth 5.1, advanced APU for machine learning, 64MP cameras or 20MP+16MP dual camеra configurations. Of course, 4K recording is also possible.
MediaTek says that the first Dimensity 720-powered smartphones will arrive in the following months and given the pricing of the Dimensity 820 phones right now of around $250, we suspect the 720 will bring the price even lower.
