MediaTek launches 5G SoC, Dimensity 800U chipset suitable for 5G dual SIM technology

MediaTek has launched its newest 5G SoC, the Dimensity 800U, as the latest addition in MediaTek’s Dimensity series family.

In the press note, MediaTek says that the 7nm Dimensity 800U chipset is designed for multi-core performance and 5G+5G Dual Sim Dual Standby (DSDS) technology.

The integrated 5G modem in MediaTek’s Dimensity 800U not only supports sub-6Ghz SA and NSA networks, but also supports cutting-edge technologies such as 5G+5G dual SIM dual standby (DSDS), dual Voice over New Radio (VoNR), and 5G two carrier aggregation (2CC 5G-CA), bringing users faster and more stable 5G connections.

With MediaTek 5G UltraSave technology, the modem’s operating mode is managed based on the network environment and data transmission quality, extending the battery life of mobile devices.

Built on the 7nm process, the Dimensity 800U delivers high performance while also minimizing power consumption. The SoC has an octa-core CPU with a dual cluster consisting of two Arm Cortex-A76 processors with a clock speed of 2.4GHz and six Arm Cortex-A55 processors with a clock speed of 2.0GHZ, offering incredible performance.

Dimensity 800U integrates an Arm Mali-G57 GPU, an independent AI processing unit (APU) and LPDDR4x RAM.

MediaTek’s Dimensity 800U offers smartphones advanced technology to deliver 5G experiences:

1. Support for 120Hz FHD+ displays with high refresh rates for faster and smoother gaming and media streaming.
2. Support for the HDR10+ standard for enhanced visual quality, plus the integrated MediaTek MiraVision PQ engine with HDR optimization for various types of videos.
3. Support for flexible camera placement with up to 64MP cameras and quad camera capabilities.
4. Integrated APU and ISP to provide a series of AI camera-enhancing functions.
5. Support for voice on wakeup (VoW) and dual-mic noise reduction technology, lowering the standby power consumption of a voice assistant and enabling it to hear clear sound regardless of external noise interruptions.
