If you were a smartphone enthusiast around the 2010s, Mediatek-powered Android smartphones had garnered a reputation back then for not having extended software support compared to Snapdragon-powered Android phones due to the more open access nature of Snapdragon chipsets for developers on Android at the time. In turn, you will see Snapdragon devices getting supported for up to 2 or 3 years compared to only 1 or 2 years on MediaTek devices back in the 2010s.

However, in 2023, it seems that Mediatek-powered Android flagships can match or even have longer software support than Snapdragon-powered flagships as one smartphone manufacturer demonstrated with their 2 flagship smartphones launched last month. That manufacturer is Xiaomi, with their Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro.

The Xiaomi 13T and 13T Pro were launched on 26 September 2023 and Xiaomi has promised both models will receive 4 years of major Android OS updates and 5 years of Android security updates from the company. However, what’s interesting about the promise of updates are that it only applies to the Xiaomi 13T series and does not apply to the Xiaomi 13 series released earlier this year with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.

For context, the Xiaomi 13T and 13T Pro are powered with MediaTek’s latest Dimensity 8200 Ultra and Dimensity 9200+ smartphones processors respectively. These two Dimensity processors are manufactured on TSMC’s industry-leading 4nm process which has a reputation of excellent power efficiency and high yields, the same process used in Apple’s A16 Bionic processor on the iPhone 15.

Meanwhile, the Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 13 Pro and the Xiaomi 13 Ultra are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile processor, which is Qualcomm’s flagship offering this year. However, all three flagship models mentioned above are only promised to 3 years of major Android updates and 5 years of Android security updates. 

In short, this means that the earlier launched Xiaomi 13 series powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will receive one year less of major Android OS updates than the MediaTek-powered Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro, debunking the myth of MediaTek devices receiving shorter years of software support than Snapdragon devices.

Do you think the move of promising and providing longer software support to MediaTek devices is a great move by Xiaomi in the current smartphone industry? Let us know in the comments below!

In May, Poco unveiled the Poco F5 and the Poco F5 Pro flagship phones. While the F5 is available in India and other markets, the F5 Pro was not released in India. A fresh development reveals that the company could be working on a new F-series flagship phone.

Yesterday, at the POCO Partners SEA Forum in Bangkok, Thailand, Poco confirmed a key detail about its next flagship phone. The brand confirmed that it will be launching a new phone featuring the Dimensity 9200 Plus chipset.

Poco did not confirm the name of its upcoming D9200+ phone. Since most of the recent Poco phones are rebranded versions of the Redmi / Xiaomi phones available in other markets, it is likely that the said device could also be a rebranded edition of an existing Redmi / Xiaomi phone.

Redmi has recently released the Redmi K60 Ultra in the Chinese market. A tweaked version of the phone offering better cameras will debut as the Xiaomi 13T Pro in the global market. There is a possibility that the K60 Ultra may have a global variant with Poco branding.

Since the specs are good enough to consider it an F-series phone, it is likely that the device could be called the Poco F5 GT. Here is a look at the specs of the Redmi K60 Ultra.

Redmi K60 Ultra specifications

The Redmi K60 Ultra has a 6.67-inch OLED panel that offers a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. The Dimensity 9200 Plus chip-powered phone ships with up to 24 GB of LPDDR5x RAM, up to 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage, and a 5,000mAh battery with 120W charging. It has a 50-megapixel (OIS) + 2-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 2-megapixel (macro) triple camera unit and a 20-megapixel front camera. It runs on MIUI 14-based Android 13 and has an under-display fingerprint scanner.

The Xiaomi 13T Pro, which is expected to debut on Sept. 1, will pack the same specs. However, it is said to be equipped with a 50-megapixel (Sony IMX707, main) + 50-megapixel (telephoto) + 12-megapixel (ultra-wide) triple camera unit.

Redmi has just launched the Redmi K60 Ultra and Redmi 12 5G smartphones in China. The brand is expected to announce the Redmi K70e, Redmi K70, and Redmi K70 Pro in December this year in the home market. In between, most likely in October, the company may announce the Redmi Note 13 series of smartphones. In a recent post on X.com, tipster Kacper Skrzypek revealed the key specifications of an alleged Redmi Note 13 series phone.

Redmi Note 13 series phone’s leaked specifications

Without mentioning the name of the device, the tipster claimed that one of the possible Redmi Note 13 series phones will come equipped with a 200-megapixel Samsung HP3 primary camera, which will be joined by a Sony IMX355 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens and an OmniVision OV2B10 2-megapixel macro / depth camera. The tipster said that the device will feature an OmniVision OV16A1Q 16-megapixel front-facing camera.

He added that the device is powered by a MediaTek chip. He even went as far as to claim that it could be the same chip that powers the recently announced Redmi K60 Ultra. For those who don’t know, the K60 Ultra features the Dimensity 9200 Plus, which is as powerful as or even slightly better than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. He added that the device will be released on the global market.

The inclusion of a 200-megapixel camera makes it an ideal candidate to be considered as a successor to the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ or the Redmi Note 12 Discovery Edition. Redmi has recently launched the K60 Ultra with D9200+ and is unlikely to launch another phone with the same chip. Hence, it appears that the mysterious Note 13 series could be equipped with a different MediaTek chip. It is advisable to wait for further reports to know its final marketing name.

The leak suggests that the 13T Pro will be a tweaked version of the Redmi K60 Ultra, which debuted yesterday in China.

Xiaomi 13T Pro camera specifications (rumored)

According to the tipster, the Xiaomi 13T Pro will have a 20-megapixel Sony IMX596 camera on the front for selfies and video calls. The Redmi K60 Ultra features the same selfie camera.

The Xiaomi 13T Pro’s rear camera setup will feature a Sony IMX707 50-megapixel primary camera. In comparison, the K60 Ultra has a Sony IMX800 50-megapixel main camera. Instead of the 8-megapixel and 2-megapixel cameras available on the Redmi flagship, the 13T Pro will offer an OmniVision OV13B ultra-wide camera and an OV50D 50-megapixel telephoto camera.

The rest of the specs of the 13T Pro are likely to be the same as those of the Redmi K60 Ultra. Hence, the 13T Pro is expected to feature a 6.67-inch OLED display that offers a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. It will run on the Android 13 operating system and MIUI 14.

Under the hood, the Xiaomi 13T Pro will arrive with the Dimensity 9200 Plus chip, up to 12GB of LPDDR5x RAM, and up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. It will house a 5,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging. The 13T Pro is also expected to come with other features, such as a dedicated display chip, an in-screen fingerprint sensor, dual stereo speakers, an X-axis linear motor, and an IP68-rated chassis. As far as design is concerned, it appears could be identical to the K60 Ultra.

According to DCS, the iQOO Neo 8 will be powered by the Dimensity 9200 Plus, which is yet to go official. As per a recent report, the D9200+ will be an enhanced version of the D9200. The SoC is expected to rival the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. Apart from iQOO, it is speculated that brands such as Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi are also planning to launch smartphones with Dimensity 9200 Plus chipset.

The new leak also states that the iQOO Neo 8 will be equipped with 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and 512 GB of UFS 4.0 storage. The tipster claimed that the Neo 8 will be stacked against the forthcoming Redmi K60 Ultra, which is expected to launch in the third quarter of 2023.

Last week, the same source said that the Redmi K60 Ultra will have an OLED screen with a 1.5K resolution and a high refresh rate. It will come with the Dimensity 9200 chipset and 100W charging.

In Q4 2022, iQOO launched the iQOO Neo 7, Neo 7 Racing Edition, and Neo 7 SE in China. These phones are powered by the Dimensity 9000 Plus, Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, and Dimensity 8200 chipsets, respectively. The iQOO Neo 7, which is available in India, is a rebranded version of the Neo 7 SE. Hence, it appears that the Neo 8 series may include other models, such as the iQOO Neo 8 Racing Edition and the Neo 8 SE.

MediaTek launched the Dimensity 9200 earlier this year as its highest-end SoC and managed to get it into some of the most premium phones launched by Vivo this year. Now, rumors are rife that the semiconductor company is planning to release an updated version of the processor. The new processor is said to be called the Dimensity 9200+ and is expected to be the most powerful 5G chipset from MediaTek this year.

Reputed Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station says Dimensity 9200+ is on the way. It is not difficult to assume from the naming that chipset is an upscaled version of Dimensity 9200, and will likely have an increased CPU frequency. The current Dimensity 9200 has an octa-core architecture with one fast Cortex-X2 core clocked at up to 3 GHz frequency, three A710 cores with up to 2.85 GHz, and four power-efficiency cores (Cortex-A510) with up to 1.8 GHz frequency. It uses Immortalis-G715 GPU.

Based on this, we can assume the Dimensity 9200+ will also be designed with a 1+3+4 architecture, and the main frequency of the super-large core will exceed 3.05GHz. It will likely be manufactured by TSMC on its second-generation 4nm process.

The AnTuTu score of Dimensity 9200 exceeded 1.2 million points, so we won’t be surprised to see the Dimensity 9200+ go above 1.3 million points. It is expected to rival Qualcomm’s second-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, which has managed to achieve an impressive AnTuTu running score of over 1.3 million.

The commercial release of the Dimensity 9200+ chip is anticipated to take place in the latter half of this year. Reports suggest that three popular brands – OPPO, Vivo, and Xiaomi – are considering using the chip in their upcoming devices.
