MediaTek HyperEngine 5.0 includes a wide range of gaming-related advancements, together with 5G and Wi-Fi networking. With the help of MediaTek Intelligent Display Sync 2.0, your smartphone will be able to wisely make changes in the refresh rates of the display as per the detected game frame rates of the game you play.

Camera Enrichment

Dimensity 8100 comes with the support for cameras up to 200 megapixels. You can shoot videos in 4K at 60 frames per second coupled with HDR10+, and 2X lossless magnification so that you can zoom in and out easily without losing the original quality of your images.

Photo enthusiasts can take advantage of AI-NR/HDR while taking photographs. This chipset also provides MediaTek’s latest noise reduction for shooting videos in extremely low-light conditions.

Moreover, it comes with AI-based anti-blur techniques, which will give you crisp detailed images, with the help of Imagiq 780 ISP.

With the aid of dual simultaneous HDR video, you can capture front and rear cameras simultaneously. Isn’t it amazing?

5G Advancements

Thanks to an unrivaled 3GPP Release-16 5G modem and the latest 5G+5G Dual SIM Dual Standby abilities, you will get the most future-proof 5G technologies. It is put up directly into the chipset and boosts power savings while providing up to 4.7Gbps downlink output in 5G connectivity.

Did you know what does ‘Downlink’ means? It is the signal that is coming from the nearest cellular tower to your cell phone.

How’s The Accelerated Processing Unit (APU)?

The APU 580 is the MediaTek 5th Generation AI processor that is 2.75 times quicker than its predecessors.

Display

Since the display supports both 120Hz WQHD+ or 168Hz Full HD+. Smartphone makers can make fair use of the latest WHQD+ displays, which have refresh rates of up to 120Hz, to assure that their smartphones have flagship-type resolutions and you will get a 25% speed boost over preceding generations of Dimensity.

The display also comes with intelligent Display Sync 2.0 that is coupled with AV1 media decoding in 4K.

WiFi Standard

It comes with the latest Wi-Fi 6E standard with tri-band (2.4/5/6GHz), 2x2 antenna, and successfully achieves the lowest latency, outstanding speeds, and extremely reliable connections.

Bluetooth

It contains Bluetooth version 5.3 coupled with Dual-Link True Wireless Stereo Audio using Bluetooth LE Audio technology for providing an uninterrupted audio experience on wireless devices.

Other Key Points

It comes with a RAM of LPDDR5 (with a maximum memory frequency of 6400Mbps), the storage type of UFS 3.1

What’s Coming Soon?

Soon you’ll be able to see this brilliant chipset equipped in a lot of upcoming mid-range smartphones. As per the news going over the web, you may be seeing this chipset in the upcoming smartphones by OnePlus, Realme, and Redmi super-soon.

Conclusion

This chipset looks very promising and I feel your gaming and other experience will get a solid boost with this integration. I must say MediaTek did a great job keeping in mind all the needs of a consumer. I am super excited about upcoming smartphones. Are you as excited as I am?
