LG‘s latest premium smartphone, the LG Velvet 5G was first unveiled in South Korea around the early part of May 2020 powered by a Snapdragon 765G chipset. The company has also launched the Velvet 5G in Europe and ore recently in the U.S. Just recently, a Snapdragon 845-powered Velvet was also launched in Europe.

There is an indication that the Korean tech giant may be planning to release a Velvet model with a different chipset from these two. A Velvet model has been spotted on Google Play Console. The report shows that the device is powered by a MediaTek MT6883 chipset which is the Dimensity 800.

MediaTek’s Dimensity 800 processor is a 7nm octa-core processor that was launched earlier this year. The chipset utilises four Cortex A76 cores clocking at 2.0GHz and four Cortex A55 cores working at 2.0GHz. For graphics, it is equipped with Mali-G77MC4 and also comes with its own HyperEngine gaming technology for an enhanced gaming experience. The processor also packs a 5G modem which means this version will also support 5G connectivity.

The Google Play Console listing also shows the processor is paired with 6GB of RAM. This is another interesting aspect as the earlier model came with a sole 8GB RAM option. The phone will run on Android 10 OS out of the box.

We expect this model to retain the design and other specs of the Qualcomm variants. This includes a 6.9-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2460 x 1080 pixel and 20.5:9 aspect ratio, a waterdrop notch that is home to a 16MP camera. The screen also supports stylus (Wacom) input with 4096 pressure levels, however, it is a standard 60Hz panel.

At the rear, the phone sports a pretty nice triple rear camera design that mimics a falling raindrop. The camera setup includes a 48MP primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 5MP depth sensor.

We expect the Dimensity 800 version to come with cheaper pricing than the Snapdragon 765G model which starts at €650 for the sole 8GB RAM version. Moreso, the lesser 6GB RAM which it is listed to have will also bring down the price further. Let us know what you think about a MediaTek-powered version of the Velvet in the comments. Excited or not?

Honor’s President Zhao Ming had confirmed during the Honor X10 launch that the company will use MediaTek’s 5G chipsets on its models in the future. Not long after the comment, a Huawei model powered by a Dimensity 800 5G SoC has appeared on GeekBench database.

The model comes with the model number Huawei DVC-AN00 and is equipped with MediaTek’s MT6873 which is the Dimensity 800 5G chipset which will feature on the upcoming Redmi 10X. The Dimensity 800 is an octa-core processor built on a 7nm wafer. The SoC comprises of four Cortex A76 cores clocked at 2.0GHz and four Cortex A55 cores also clocked at 2.0GHz. For graphics, it is equipped with Mali-G77MC4. The SoC offers is coupled HyperEngine gaming technology for an enhanced gaming experience. The Dimensity 800 with its APU 3.0 offers up to 2.4 TOPS of AI performance.

The processor onboard the Huawei model is paired with 6GB of RAM and the model will run Android 10 operating system. As for the Geekbench score, Huawei DVC-AN00 scored a single-core test score of 526 points and a multi-core score of 2088 points. The single-core and multi-core scores are slightly lower than those of the Redmi 10X when it was benchmarked on GeekBench. Since this may likely be a prototype, there will likely be more optimizations before it is released.

MediaTek has launched three chipsets under its new 5G Dimensity lineup — MediaTek Dimensity 1000, Dimensity 800, and the most recent Dimensity 1000+. Now, the company is all set to launch yet another chipset in the same series.

The company has today confirmed that it will be hosting a launch event on 18th May in China to launch a new 5G chipset. While the name of the chipset getting launched is not revealed, we expect it to be the MediaTek Dimensity 800 Plus.

As per the previous leak, the Dimensity 800 Plus is expected to cove with an overclocked CPU at 2.6GHz instead of 2.0GHz. Apart from this, everything else is expected to be almost the same as the original variant.

The MediaTek Dimensity 800, launched earlier this year, is a 7nm octa-core processor that comprises of four Cortex A76 cores clocking at 2.0GHz and four Cortex A55 cores working at 2.0GHz. For graphics, it is equipped with Mali-G77MC4 and also comes with its own HyperEngine gaming technology for enhanced gaming experience.

Recently, an OPPO model bearing the model number PDKM00 and believed to be the OPPO A92s 5G appeared on Geekbench database. The devices believed to be powered by a Dimensity 800 chipset. MediaTek announced the Dimensity 800 processor in January 2020 but the chipset is yet to find its way into any smartphone but may feature on the OPPO A92s and Redmi Note 9 Pro China version. Here is a comparison of the Dimensity 800 benchmark scores with those of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 and Huawei’s Kirin 820 5G SoCs.

The Dimensity 800 is a mid-range 5G processor just like the Kirin 820 and Snapdragon 765G. The GeekBench scores show the Kirin 820 5G has the highest score both on the single-core and multi-core tests. The Kirin 820 5G-powered model scored 2987 in the single-core test and 9395 in the multi-core test. On the other hand, MediaTek’s Dimensity 800 has a better multi-core score of 8130points compared to 7758 points for the SNapdragon 765G. However, the SD 765G has a superior single-core test score of 2891 while the Diemsity 800 scored 2504.

Regardless of the disparity in the test scores, the three processors are in the same performance range. There are just likely a few aspects where they outwit each other. However, going by user experience, the Snapdragon 765G will likely be the preferred choice of most users and will definitely get the widest spread in terms of deployment on smartphones by OEMs.

As a reminder, the Dimensity 800 is a 7nm octa-core processor just like the other two SoCs. It features four Cortex A76 cores clocking at 2.0GHz and four Cortex A55 cores working at 2.0GHz. For graphics, it is equipped with Mali-G77MC4. The SoC is coupled with HyperEngine gaming technology for an enhanced gaming experience. It features APU 3.0 which offers up to 2.4 TOPS of AI performance. Other features include support for full HD+ resolution display with up to 90Hz refresh rates as well as up to 16 GB of LPDDR4x RAM.

Today, at MediaTek’s Product Communication Conference, the company has announced a new chipset — MediaTek Dimensity 800. This new processor from the company seems to be positioned for the mid-range and upper mid-range smartphones.

It has also been revealed that smartphones powered by this MediaTek Dimensity 800 processor will be making their way to the market in the second quarter of next year, i.e. Q2 2020 and the chipset will be officially launched in Q1 2020.

While the company has unveiled the chipset and teased a timeline for its availability in the market, MediaTek has not yet revealed anything related to the chipset’s technical specifications and features.

The announcement of this new chipset comes week after MediaTek announced its Dimensity 1000 5G chipset, marking the company’s comeback in the high-end segment that will take on the likes of Snapdragon 865 and Kirin 990.

The processor features four high-end Cortex-A77 based BIG cores clocked at 2.6GHz and four Cortex-A55 power-efficient cores clocked at 2.2GHz. It comes with a dual cluster arrangement instead of the tri-cluster arrangements that we’ve been seeing on high-end processors like Kirin 990, Snapdragon 855 and even Exynos 990.

The new MediaTek chip comes with the new Mali-G77 MP9 GPU, which is the same one found on the Exynos 990 with a couple of cores less. It comes with an integrated Helio M70 5G modem that saves space and is efficient at the same time and is the world’s fastest throughput SoC with 4.7Gbps downlink and 2.5Gbps uplink speeds and supports both standalone and non-standalone networks (Sa/NSA).

The upcoming Oppo Reno3 smartphone is confirmed to come powered by MediaTek Dimensity 1000L 5G processor, which is also known as MediaTek MT6885. The benchmark result showed the processor has a Mali-G77 GPU. We presume it also has Cortex-A77 CPU cores like the Dimensity 1000 but at a lower clock speed.

The first smartphones with Dimensity 1000 5G chipset will launch in Q1 2020 in markets like China and other Asian countries while USA and EU will get the new chip powered devices in the second half of 2020.
