The recently announced MediaTek Dimensity 8000 series chips are getting more smartphone brands lining behind to deploy the chip in their upcoming products. Redmi, OnePlus, and Oppo are the latest brands that will release one or more of their incoming models that will be powered by the Dimensity 8000.
The Redmi K50 series is expected to arrive within this month although it may likely be a staggered release. At least one of the Redmi K50 models will have the Dimensity 8000 or 8100 chip. The Redmi K50 and K50 Pro are likely to be the first models to be released. The Redmi K50 Gaming is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, a seeming turnaround from its predecessor that had a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset.
A possible OnePlus Nord model could also sport the Dimensity 8100, which is a fair projection since the Nord 2 and Nord CE 2 are powered by Dimensity chips. There are also indications that the Oppo K10 series will also have some models sporting the Dimensity 8000 or 8100. Both the Dimensity 8000 and Dimensity 8100 are mid-range SoCs but the Dimensity 8000 has a slightly slower GPU compared to the Dimensity 8100.
MediaTek had announced that the first models sporting its Dimensity 8000 series chips will be released by the end of Q1, 2022 and it seems the company is on course to hit a bullseye in its projections. More details about the specific models that will be powered by the Dimensity 8000 series chips will become known as we inch closer to their launch from the end of March 2022.
