MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Launches with Big Cores for Mid-Range

MediaTek has launched the Dimensity 8400 processor at an event in China and this is the entry of the firm in the mid-range chipset segment. This comes after the Dimensit 9400 flagship hit the market in October, going into both high-end smartphones in China and abroad. As the successor to last year’s Dimensity 8300, the Dimensity 8400 uses an “all big core” design like the Dimensity 9400, forgoing smaller, energy-efficient cores for greater performance.

The Dimensity 8400 also features support for up to 320MP camera sensors and an Imagiq 1080 ISP for high-res shots. It provides HDR recording for the full zoom range. It also supports WQHD+ displays at up to 144Hz refresh rates and offers dual-screen support. A 5G-Advanced modem provides connectivity with peak downlink speeds of 5.17 Gbps.
