| High-end smartphones from Vivo and Oppo will be powered by MediaTek Dimensity 9400+. |
Compared to the Dimensity 9400 SoC's 1.5km range, the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ allows phone-to-phone Bluetooth communications up to 10km. Highlights The All Big Core design is a feature of the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+.
At the moment, it is MediaTek's most potent smartphone chip. In the upcoming weeks, smartphones with the Dimensity 9400+ SoC will be available.
On Thursday, the company's newest flagship mobile CPU for Android devices, the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+, was revealed. The most potent core on the new chip, which has an All Big Core design, is somewhat quicker than the one on the Dimensity 9400 SoC, which was released last year. Additionally, the chipmaker claims that the MediaTek NPU 890 may achieve up to 20 percent quicker agentic AI performance using Speculative Decoding+ (SpD+). The first company to release new smartphones with the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ is Oppo.
MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ Availability Timeline
The chipmaker announced that the first phones with the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chip will be available this month, starting with the Oppo Find X8s and Find X8s+ that arrived in China on Thursday. These handsets will go on sale next week and could also be launched in global markets.
Other premium smartphones, like the Vivo X200s and the Realme GT7, are also expected to arrive with the Dimensity 9400+ SoC later this month.
MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ Specifications
Three Cortex-X4 cores, four Cortex-A720 cores, and an Arm Cortex-X925 core operating at 3.73GHz (increased from 3.63GHz on the previous year's Dimensity 9400) are all included in the new MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor. The Dimensity 9400 SoC was built using the same All Big Core CPU concept. It has compatibility for up to a 320-megapixel rear camera, LPDDR5x RAM, and UFS 4.0 (MCQ) storage.
MediaTek has equipped the Dimensity 9400+ with the same 12-core Arm Immortalis-G925 MC12 GPU and MediaTek NPU 890 that first arrived on the Dimensity 9400. The chipmaker claims that the NPU offers 20 percent "faster agentic AI performance: with Speculative Decoding+ (SpD+). The chip is expected to deliver GPU and NPU performance that is on par with the Dimensity 9400.
For photos and videos, the MedaTek Imagiq 1090 on the Dimensity 9400+ SoC offers the same performance as the Dimensity 9400, which is equipped with the same ISP. In terms of connectivity, you get access to Sub-6 5G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0 and GNSS (GPS, BeiDou, Glonass, Galileo, QZSS, NavIC).The new Dimensity 9400+ chip enables phone-to-phone Bluetooth connections up to 10km, higher than the 1.5km range supported by the Dimensity 9400 SoC, according to the chipmaker.
