MediaTek typically launches two flagship mobile SoCs each year. The company introduced the Dimensity 9400 SoC back in October, and we’re expecting a slightly upgraded version, likely called the Dimensity 9400+, to debut sometime this year.
Now, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) has revealed the expected launch timeframe of this upcoming SoC, along with details on potential upgrades.
MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ launch timeframe
According to DCS, the Dimensity 9400+ will feature the same ARM Cortex-X925 prime core as the regular 9400. But the clock speed is expected to see a jump from 3.62 GHz to 3.7 GHz.
Moreover, the tipster suggests that the processor will launch in March, with two smartphone brands reportedly preparing to introduce their first devices powered by it.
One of these devices is likely the Vivo X200s, as previous reports have also hinted that this phone will feature the same SoC. This also aligns with Vivo’s previous strategy, as its predecessor, the X100s, came equipped with the Dimensity 9300+ processor.
Meanwhile, the second phone the tipster may be referring to could be the Oppo Find X8S, based on recent leaks.
Specifications
There typically aren’t many differences between the regular and Plus versions of MediaTek’s flagship chip. So, we can expect the upcoming Dimensity 9400+ to follow a similar pattern. If that’s the case, here are the expected specifications:
