- New Super Efficient NPU: Industry's first CIM-based NPU
The Dimensity 9500 debuts two first-to-market features:
Support for Vulkan Raytracing Pipeline, offering the capacity to generate more realistic and impressive gaming experiences.
Native Unreal Engine 5.5+ integration unlocks console-tier visual fidelity on mobile platforms, including key technologies:
- MegaLights: empowering artists to deploy more dynamic, shadow-casting area lights than previously achievable
- Nanite: enabling orders-of-magnitude leaps in geometric complexity via virtualized geometry system and skeletal meshes, delivering unprecedented triangle/object densities for real-time rendering.
Arm Mali-G1 Ultra & MediaTek HyperEngine Gaming Technology
- Up to 33% better GPU performance*
- Up to 119% better raytracing performance*
- 42% better power efficiency at peak performance*
- World’s 1st to support 120FPS raytraced mobile gaming
- MRFC 3.0: Upgrade 60FPS titles to run at 120FPS for smoother gameplay
MediaTek has adopted a unified, dynamic CPU/GPU/NPU data cache with new SLC management for system offloading, delivering improved latency and bandwidth for a faster gaming experience.
Between industry-leading 4K120 video capture with EIS on Android, and best-in-class 4K60 cinematic video capture mode (vs 4K30 in competitor flagships), MediaTek Imagiq 1190 makes users the director of their own personal cinema experience.
The Imagiq 1190 achieves:
- Best-in-class 30FPS, NPU‑assisted focusing tracking engine ensuring a clear shot in any frame
- Best-in-class 200MP camera capture with powerful AI denoise technology
Introducing the MiraVision SmartScreen frame-based color engine, capable of producing vivid displays in both bright sunlight and ultra-low light conditions. It offers improved display uniformity thanks to its new ability to run deburn-in and demura technologies concurrently.
Visibility enhancements ensure that the smartphone display remains clear even at the highest brightness settings (in direct sunlight) for longer periods than competing alternatives, without consuming additional power.
New transparency compensation technology also supports displays that scale down to as low as 1 nit, delivering optimal readability in ultra-low light conditions while protecting the eyes.
Our most performant 5G modem with best-in-class sub-6GHz speeds and global band support. With AI in modem optimizing connections for reliability, power-efficiency and throughput on both SIM slots, it’s 5G you can rely on.
- 3GPP Release-17 5G modem
- Sub-6GHz 5CC-CA up to 7.4Gbps performance with global band support
- MediaTek 5G UltraSave – 10% power savings with AI traffic prediction
- MediaTek AI Network Suite (AI handover) – 50% latency reduction with AI congestion prediction
We’ve made Wi-Fi more intelligent to extend power-savings when streaming and downloading, while also providing connection that reach further, and reliable multi-gigabit speeds.
