MediaTek has announced a new 5G SoC – the MediaTek Dimensity 800 - targeted at mid-range smartphones. As the name clearly suggests, the Dimensity 800 SoC will be positioned below the MediaTek Dimensity 1000 5G SoC that is targeted at high-end smartphones. The Taiwanese chipmaker has revealed that the MediaTek Dimensity 800 5G SoC will make its way to mid-range smartphones in the second quarter next year.

As per an ITHome report, the MediaTek Dimensity 800 SoC will be officially launched in Q1 2021, while phones powered by it will arrive in the second quarter. Details such as the transistor or die size, core architecture, clock speed, GPU, and 5G modem are still under the covers, but more information will most likely be revealed in Q1 next year.

Details about a new mid-range 5G SoC from MediaTek carrying the model number MT6873 emerged last month. It is tipped to employ the in-house Helio M70 5G modem and will reportedly have two Cortex A76 cores for doing the heavy-lifting, while the remaining six will be Cortex-A50 series cores. The chip was rumoured to enter mass production in Q2 2020, which is also when the new report says the first phones powered by the Dimensity 800 SoC will arrive.

Nice

Tecno and his brothers will use dis chipset in 2096

This is great. For the fact this 5G SoC will be used for midrange devices and how I read that MTN partnered with TECNO for there 5G unveiling, means the brand is on to some good things and making smartphones embedded with the kinds of this new specs affordable for customers.

I doubt, Tecno makes midrange devices so they can use this pretty soon

Tecno uses mediocre mtk chipset. I have never seen any tecno device using P60 talkless of G90T. There are just soiling the name of mediatek.

The transition brothers seeing this post:
"Mtcheeew P22 and A22 is still the best"

Lets watch and see how tecno will upgrade to 5g, i wont be surprised if they find a workaround to embed 5G into their helio a22 nd p22.

Tecno might use it for their flagship device next year.

It's obvious

I'm pretty sure they're dropping P22 next year.

Talking about tecno and flagship tecno that make scrpapy midrange devices

dont be surprised if they still use that chip till next 2yrs or they myt even wait till when 5g becomes mainstream in africa (who knows how long that would be) that the chip makers will resort into making a more budget friendly 5G chip that can penetrate the global market better and there u ve it, tecno will now roost on it.
