The Android smartphone processor market has been largely dominated by two brands throughout its entire history, namely Qualcomm and MediaTek. Qualcomm has its Snapdragon chipsets to power Android smartphones, whereas MediaTek provides Android smartphones with its 5G-powered Dimensity chipsets. The Dimensity lineup has proven to be reasonably reliable over the past 3 years because all MediaTek Dimensity processors were manufactured by TSMC’s power-efficient and industry-leading technology.

However, in 2023, MediaTek decided to silently rebrand its Dimensity SoC lineup, which has led to much confusion as to which MediaTek chipset is better, and which processors are a big mistake.

Well in this article today, we will be dissecting and diving into MediaTek’s new naming scheme to inform our readers about which MediaTek processors are worth your attention and give the most bang for buck money can buy. To simplify matters, we’ve separated all Dimensity processors into 3 tiers (Tier A, Tier B, and Tier C), with Tier C being the worst ranked processors, and Tier A being the best ranked processors.

Tier C: Low-Performance Processors
Starting off with Tier C, there are 11 MediaTek Dimensity processors and they are ranked from worst to best in Table 1 below.

As you can see, all the newly rebranded Dimensity 6000 and 7000 series are ranked within Tier C. This is because Tier C chipsets have a very important characteristic that defines them, an octa-core CPU structure with only 2 Performance Cores and 6 Efficiency Cores. With fewer performance cores, the processors cannot run games at higher graphical settings, or tasks on the device may run at slower speeds. 

Generally, Tier C processors have benchmark scores from around 380k to 550k in Antutu, with one exception being the Dimensity 7200 which has achieved an Antutu score of nearly 740k. The reason could be that the processor is manufactured on TSMC’s newer 4nm process whilst also featuring the newer ARM Cortex A715 performance cores to provide more performance at the same power level as the A78 and A76.

Another interesting thing to note is the Dimensity 6080 (formerly known as the Dimensity 810). The Dimensity 6080 processor can be found in the recently-announced Redmi Note 13 this week, however, the same processor could also be found in the Redmi Note 11 (known globally as the Poco M4 Pro 5G) launched almost two years ago in 2021 back in China market. This means that your brand new 2023 budget Android smartphone could be using a budget processor that is almost 2 years old today, and yet the device is selling at a price which is brand new.

To wrap up, most Tier C processors have generally the same slower performance and do not have a high price-to-performance ratio (with a possible exception to the Dimensity 7200). If possible, look for Android smartphones with Tier B or Tier A processors instead.

Tier B: Upper Mid-Range Processors

Tier B is where the processors are fast and smooth enough for everyday tasks whilst still being able to game comfortably on medium graphical settings in your favourite games. There are 4 MediaTek Dimensity processors in this tier and they are listed from worst to best in Table 2 below.

One defining characteristic of Tier B processors is that they use an octa-core SoC structure, with 4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores. With a balanced (4+4) setup, the SoC is able to handle high-performance tasks more smoothly, whereas for low-demand tasks, the efficiency cores can step up for lower power draw.

Tier B processors have garnered much praise for balancing their performance with their affordability, as these processors are found in budget flagship smartphones like the OnePlus Nord 2T and Xiaomi 11T. 

Tier A: Flagship Processors

Tier A includes MediaTek’s best processors in the Dimensity lineup, as they not only provide great performance, but great power efficiency as well for the smartphones they’re in!

Tier A includes 5 Dimensity processors, and they are listed below in Table 3.

Despite sporting the same processor structure (4+4) as Tier B processors, Tier A processors have one major advantage, which is that Tier A processors are manufactured on TSMC’s more advanced 5nm and 4nm process nodes. This improvement alone managed to boost performance by up to almost 20% whilst keeping power draw low to ensure that the device doesn’t overheat. The GPUs used by Tier A processors are also much more performant, allowing users to game at high or ultra-high graphical settings, which is unachievable on Tier B and C processors.

Tier A processors can be found in devices such as the affordable Redmi K50i, Poco X4 GT and OnePlus 10R, to the flagships such as the Vivo X90, Redmi K60 Ultra, and the upcoming Xiaomi 13T Pro. 

In conclusion, purchasing a smartphone with a Tier A MediaTek Dimensity processor is the best decision one can make to make their smartphone performance last long-term without much slowdown.

Xiaomi has recently registered the Xiaomi Civi 3, which is expected to be released soon. According to DCS, the latest update in the MIIT registration information reveals a new version of the device with 12+512GB storage, providing users with more space and reliable performance.

The Xiaomi Civi 3 is primarily aimed at the female market, with its lightweight, fashionable design and impressive selfie capabilities. The device features a 32-megapixel dual front camera with front-firing LED flash, ensuring good selfies in any lighting conditions. The “pill-shaped” hole-punch design continues to be a prominent feature of this device like its predecessor (check out our review of the Xiaomi Civi 2).

Xiaomi Civi 3 specifications (rumored)

One of the major upgrades in the Xiaomi Civi 3 is its performance. The device is equipped with the Dimensity 8200 processor, which is much stronger than its predecessors’ Snapdragon 778G Plus and Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processors. Although the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 processor performs better than the Dimensity 8200 overall, the latter processor’s performance is sufficient for all usage scenarios, including heavy gaming.

In addition to its impressive performance, the Xiaomi Civi 3 has a “secret weapon” – it supports 5G cross-carrier roaming. This feature allows users to access and use another carrier’s 5G network through cross-carrier roaming when they are in an area without 5G network coverage. This feature will significantly reduce the number of signal blind spots and enable users to access the 5G network legally, regardless of which carrier their SIM card is from.

The Xiaomi Civi 3’s recent internal MIUI build is 14.0.3.0.TMICNXM, hinting that it will go on sale by the end of this month in the home market, with rumors that the Civi 3 will launch on May 30.

The smartphone went through China’s 3C certification recently and according to the listing the device may arrive with an FHD+ 120Hz OLED screen, a Sony IMX8-series camera with OIS support on the back, and it may support 67W fast charging. The other details of the Civi 3 are still under wraps, but it is expected to remain exclusive to the Chinese market.

Apart from the Xiaomi Civi 3, several other smartphones are also expected to launch in China this month, such as the Realme 11 Pro lineup, the iQOO Neo 8 lineup, the Honor 90 series, the Vivo S17 series, and the OPPPO Reno 10 lineup.

Vivo is reportedly working on the S17 series of smartphones for the Chinese market. Reports have claimed that the S17 lineup will take on the Honor 90 series and Oppo Reno 10 series of smartphones in the home market. These Vivo, Honor, and Oppo are expected to launch in May and be available for purchase during China’s 618 shopping festival in June. Hence, the rumor mill has started leaking key information about these smartphones. In a new Weibo post (via. TechGoing), tipster Digital Chat Station revealed the key specifications of the Vivo S17 and S17 Pro.

Previous reports have revealed that the Vivo S17 line will have three models, such as the Vivo S17e (V2285A), Vivo S17 (V2283A), and Vivo S17 Pro (V2284A). At present, there is no information on the chipset that powers the S17e model. In the latest, tipster DCS revealed that the Vivo S17 will have the Snapdragon SM7325, which appears to be the Snapdragon 778G or Snapdragon 782G chipset.

The Vivo S17 Pro, on the other hand, will have the Dimensity 8200 chipset. To recall, the Vivo S16 and S16 Pro were equipped with the Snapdragon 870 and Dimensity 8200 chipsets, respectively.

DCS further said that the Vivo S17 and S17 Pro will feature a BOE-supplied OLED display that offers a 1.5K resolution. However, he did not reveal the screen size. Previous reports have claimed that the displays of the S17 series will have curved edges.

The rear camera setup of the Vivo S17 and S17 Pro will have a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766V primary camera, which is said to support optical image stabilization (OIS). A 12-megapixel IMX663 telephoto camera will be present in addition to it. There is no information on the other cameras that will be a part of the Vivo S17 series’ rear panel.

Lastly, the leak reveals that the Vivo S17 series will support 80W fast charging. However, the tipster did not mention anything about the battery size of the S17 duo.

The post Vivo S17, S17 Pro chipset, display, and camera details leaked appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo is reportedly working on the Vivo S17e, Vivo S17, and Vivo S17 Pro. These devices will succeed the Vivo S16e, S16, and S16 Pro, which debuted in December 2022. A report that surfaced last month revealed some details about the upcoming smartphones, including their model numbers and some specifications. However, a new Weibo post by tipster Wisdom Pikachu has shed more light on the chipsets that will power the S17 trio and the expected launch timeframe.

As per the information shared by the tipster, the Vivo S17 series is expected to be announced at some point in May. Hence, its arrival is expected to coincide with the 618 online shopping festival in China, which will be held around June 18. The timing of the launch could be strategic, as it will allow Vivo to capitalise on the festival’s increased consumer spending.

OPPO is expected to announce the Reno 10 series in May in China. The tipster claimed that the upcoming Vivo S17 will rival the Reno 10 lineup. Hence, the S17 lineup is expected to launch in May, but we believe that it may debut by the end of the said month.

In the Weibo post, the tipster also mentioned three chipsets, such as the Snapdragon 778G, Dimensity 8200, and Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. These chipsets may power the Vivo S17e, Vivo S17, and Vivo S17 Pro. Interestingly, the OPPO Reno 10, Reno 10 Pro, and Reno 10 Pro+ are also said to be equipped with the SD778G, D8200, and SD8+G1, respectively.

According to the leaked information that surfaced earlier this month, the Vivo S17e, S17, and S17 Pro have model numbers V2285A, V2283A, and V2284A, respectively. It also revealed that the Vivo S17 series will have common features, such as an AMOLED screen with curved edges, a color-changing rear shell, and an OIS-assisted main camera. The S17 lineup will come in RAM and storage options like 8 GB / 12 GB of RAM and 128 GB / 256 GB of storage. Additionally, the S17 Pro is expected to have a 16 GB RAM variant, catering to users with more demanding needs.

The post Vivo S17 series launch timeframe, chipset details tipped appeared first on Gizmochina.

A forthcoming Xiaomi device with the model number 23046PNC9C has been granted radio approval by the MIIT authority in China (via. TechGoing). Despite the name of the device not being confirmed, it is suggested to be part of the new Xiaomi Civi-series.

The radio certification does not reveal any details about the device’s specifications, as shown in the screen capture below. The “2304” numbers in the model number of the device indicate that the device may launch as early as April in China.

Recent reports say that the Xiaomi Civi phone, which is coming out soon, will be very thin. On the front, the device is expected to feature an AMOLED panel with curved edges and a pill-shaped cutout, which is likely to house a pair of 32-megapixel front-facing cameras.

On the back of the device, there will be a triple camera unit. The main camera will be an OIS-enabled Sony IMX800. The screen will support a Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

All of the Xiaomi Civi phones that came before this one had Qualcomm chipsets, but the next one is likely to have the Dimensity 8200 SoC. The other specifications of the phone are yet to be revealed.

The final marketing name of the 23046PNC9C is yet to be confirmed. Several reports have said that the next Civi device will be called the Xiaomi Civi 3. However, there is a possibility that the 23046PNC9C will be an upgraded version and not a successor to the Xiaomi Civi 2, which went official in September 2022. Hence, it is likely that the device will launch as the Xiaomi Civi 2s. It is advisable to wait for further reports to know its other specifications and marketing name.

Xiaomi unveiled the female-focused Xiaomi CIVI 2 in September 2022. The company may launch the CIVI 2s in Q2 this year and it may announce the CIVI 3 in the second half of 2023. Chinese tipster Wisdom Pikachu has leaked key details about the CIVI 3.

According to the tipster, the Xiaomi CIVI 3 will not feature a Snapdragon SoC. Instead, it will come equipped with the Dimensity 8200 chipset. He said that its display will not support 2K resolution, meaning it will continue to support Full HD+ resolution like the current generation. The tipster did not share any information on the other specs of the CIVI 3.

The CIVI series by Xiaomi is known for its attractive design. The CIVI 2 is equipped with a curved-edge AMOLED display with a pill-shaped cutout for dual front-facing cameras. It is unclear whether the CIVI 3 will sport the same design, but the tipster claims that it will offer symmetrical aesthetics.

In related news, Xiaomi is reportedly working on the Xiaomi 13 Lite for the global market. Its arrival of the 13 Lite seems to be close at hand as it has been spotted at the IMEI database and Google Play Console. It seems that the 13 Lite will be a tweaked version of the CIVI 2.

The Xiaomi 13 lite is likely to arrive with a 6.55-inch AMOLED panel that offers an FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Unlike the CIVI 2, the 13 Lite is expected to feature a single front-facing camera. Its back panel may feature a 50-megapixel triple camera unit. The Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chip may power the device with 8 GB of RAM. It may offer up to 256 GB of internal storage and a 4,500mAh battery that supports 67W fast charging.

The iQOO Neo 7 5G will be launching on Feb. 16 in India. Ahead of the launch, the company is gradually confirming the key features of the device. It is already known that the Neo 7 5G will be India’s first Dimensity 8200-powered phone. Today, the company confirmed a few more details about the device.

As can be seen in the poster, the iQOO Neo 7 5G will be equipped with a 3D cooling system for heat dissipation. The other thing that the company has confirmed today is that the Neo 7 will support 120W FlashCharge technology.

Given that the iQOO Neo 7 5G lndia launch is less than a month away, the company is expected to gradually confirm the device’s other features. It is unclear whether the Neo 7 5G will be heading to other markets outside India.

Reports have revealed that the iQOO Neo 7 5G will be a rebranded version of the iQOO Neo 7 SE that went official in December 2022 in China. The Neo 7 SE available in China offers a 6.78-inch AMOLED FHD+ punch-hole display, which supports a maximum refresh rate of up to 120Hz and an under-display fingerprint scanner. It runs on an OriginOS 3-based Android 13. Since iQOO / Vivo is not offering OriginOS outside of China yet, it appears that the Neo 7 5G heading to India will be equipped with FunTouch OS 13-flavored Android 13.

The Dimensity 8200 and a 5,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging support power the iQOO Neo 7 SE. It comes with up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512 GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

The poster reveals that the Redmi K60 series has a rectangle-shaped camera module with three cameras and a pill-shaped LED flash unit inside. On the top, it seems to feature a microphone, an IR blaster, and a speaker grille. The device has a textured design on the back.

Redmi also confirmed today that the Redmi k60 Pro will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Earlier this month, it was revealed that the Redmi K60e will have the Dimensity 8200 chipset onboard.
