In what could be seen as a major boost, Chinese chipmaker UNISOC has announced that its T820 5G chip has officially passed the Vodafone Operator Certification. According to a statement released by UNISOC, the chip has been certified to run smoothly and stably on Vodafone’s 5G, 4G, and 3G networks. The T820 passed the operator’s network compatibility, network security, function, and other acceptance tests.

Vodafone currently runs 5G services in 294 cities in 11 countries. The UNISOC T820 chip has also passed the conformance test due to the global terminal certification association, GCF/ PTCRB. This verifies that the T820 chip has global interoperability and versatility. The Vodafone network certification is the latest in a slew of operators in South Asia, Latin America, and other regions for 5G chips. This approach, according to Unisoc, is to help brand manufacturers shorten the time to market their products in oversea markets.

The T820 chip adopts an octa-core design from a 6nm EUV process. It has built-in financial-level security solutions and supports 5G dual card dual standby. It also supports a 108 million pixel high-definition camera, FHD+ resolution, HDR10+ standard, and 4K 60-frame high-definition video recording. The chip supports a 120Hz refresh rate and 8 TOPS AI computing power. The octa-core CPU of the UNISOC T820 consists of one ARM Cortex-A76 large core and three ARM Cortex-A76 at 2.76GHz and 2.3GHz respectively, in addition to four Cortexx-A55 at 2.1GHz.

With the raft of certifications already achieved by the chipset, we are close to seeing the hardware in an actual product. There are no indications yet, however, which product will debut the T820 and when it will enter the market.
