MediaTek’s new Dimensity 7500 has finally shown up in Geekbench, giving us a rough idea of what kind of performance buyers can expect from the chip.

The benchmark was recorded on the Vivo S60 Vitality Edition, which is the first phone to launch with the processor. It scored 1243 points in single-core testing and 3569 points in multi-core.

Those numbers are better than what we typically see from the Dimensity 7400, although not by a huge margin. That’s actually pretty much what the early specifications suggested. MediaTek previously claimed gains of around 24% in single-core performance and 21% in multi-core workloads, but real-world benchmarks rarely line up perfectly with marketing figures. Still, the jump is there.

What caught my attention is that MediaTek doesn’t seem to be chasing massive year-over-year improvements with this chip. Instead, the company appears to be doing what it has done for several generations now: making small improvements, refining efficiency, and moving the platform forward without dramatically changing the formula.

A few years ago, benchmark scores in this range would have belonged to upper-tier devices. Today, they are showing up in phones that sit comfortably in the mid-range. The reality is that most users will spend more time scrolling social media, taking photos, watching videos, and chatting than pushing all CPU cores to their limits.

The Dimensity 7500 itself is built on a 4nm process and uses an octa-core design paired with a Mali-G625 GPU. Nothing particularly surprising there, but the combination should be more than capable for everyday use and the occasional gaming session.

Vivo has paired the chip with a 144Hz AMOLED display, a slim 7.92mm body, and a starting price of 2,899 yuan.

As always, Geekbench is only one piece of the puzzle. Sustained performance, battery life, thermals, and gaming results will tell us much more about the Dimensity 7500 than a single benchmark run ever could. But based on these early numbers, MediaTek’s latest mid-range chip looks exactly like what it was expected to be: a sensible upgrade rather than a dramatic one.

The post Dimensity 7500 appears in Geekbench on Vivo S60 Vitality Edition appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo has launched the S60 series in China, consisting of two new midrange phones. The lineup includes the standard S60 and a cheaper S60 Vitality Edition, both featuring large 7,200mAh batteries, high refresh rate displays, and a collection of AI-assisted Live photo tools.

Vivo S60 and S60 Vitality Edition Specifications 

The Vivo S60 features a 6.59-inch 1260p flat display with a 144Hz refresh rate, while both models include a 50-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies and video calls.

On the back, the standard S60 includes a triple-camera setup consisting of a 50-megapixel main sensor, an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera, and a 50-megapixel IMX882 periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. The Vitality Edition drops the telephoto lens but keeps the 50-megapixel main and 8-megapixel ultrawide cameras.

The S60 is loaded with camera tricks. The phones support 4K Live capture and include several new camera effects, including a “Cool White Portrait” mode, customizable Live color grading tools, and a new “Starlight Live” effect that adds animated sparkle-like highlights to bright areas in photos and videos.

The company is also introducing a new “3D Spatial Visual Effects” feature that can turn Live Photos into glasses-free 3D images by using motion effects when the phone is tilted or shaken. 

Both phones pack large 7,200mAh batteries with support for 90W wired charging, alongside IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance, stereo speakers, infrared remote functionality, and X-axis linear motors. 

The standard S60 is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor, while the Vitality Edition uses MediaTek’s Dimensity 7500 chipset.

On the design side, Vivo says the phones use a seamless cold-carved glass back panel paired with a metal frame. Both have a new “Starry Sea” finish that uses layered lithography and 3D etching techniques to create a textured, reflective surface. Other color options include Early Summer Green and Midsummer Night.

Pricing and Availability

The Vivo S60 starts at 3,599 yuan (~ 530) for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage model, rising to 4,399 yuan (~$648) for the 16GB / 512GB version. The S60 Vitality Edition starts at 2,899 yuan (~ $428) for the 8GB / 256GB configuration and tops out at 3,499 yuan (~ $516) for the 12GB / 512GB model.

Vivo hasn’t announced any international release plans for the S60 series yet.
