Dimensity 6500
MediaTek Dimensity 5G Family
The MediaTek Dimensity 6500 is a highly efficient mainstream smartphone processor that empowers users with faster 5G performance, support for large camera sensors, and impressive, vibrant displays. It also delivers smooth gaming experiences with MediaTek HyperEngine, along with wireless coexistence technologies and long-range Bluetooth connectivity.
Additional Key Features
MediaTek’s advanced Bluetooth/Wi-Fi Hybrid Coexistence technology allows both 2.4 GHz wireless technologies to operate simultaneously without interference.
This ensures that accessories such as headsets and game controllers can always function smoothly without lag, benefiting activities such as gaming, music, video calls or streaming, and chatting on social media.
Mainstream smartphones can now benefit from phone-to-phone Bluetooth connections that can reach up to 2 km (line of sight), allowing users to stay connected even without cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity.
The MediaTek Dimensity 6500 delivers a smoother UI experience, and 18% faster CPU speeds*. Whether gaming, streaming, or chatting with friends, benefit from 15-19% greater power efficiency**, enabling longer battery life so you can do more throughout the day.
*Compared to competing alternative smartphone chipsets.
**Based on MediaTek internal testing across over 20 user scenarios.
Enjoy photo-friendly smartphones with impressive cameras that capture big pictures. Face-enhanced multi-frame noise reduction (MFNR) technology helps produce crisp, clear images even in challenging low-light environments.
Users benefit from a smoother Android user experience and faster gaming performance, powered by MediaTek HyperEngine gaming technologies that deliver comprehensive gaming optimizations.
Features such as intelligent switching between 5G and Wi-Fi connections, simultaneous 5G call and data support, and more stable connectivity help ensure that gamers stay reliably connected, while the advanced 6 nm chip design further enhances efficiency by enabling up to 19% better power efficiency during gaming*.
*Compared to competitor alternative smartphone chipsets
Enjoy smooth, vibrant gradients and support for true-color AMOLED displays capable of presenting genuine 10-bit images and videos, providing a richer viewing experience.
Display refresh rates can reach up to 120Hz, which helps reduce eye strain while delivering fluid scrolling and smooth animations across apps.
3GPP R16 Standard Modem
The 3GPP Release-16 standard 5G modem includes worldwide EUOP coverage, allowing device manufacturers to develop a single smartphone design that works across global cellular markets, reducing costs and speeding up international deployment.
MediaTek 5G UltraSave 3.0+
By combining extensive R16 and MediaTek-designed power-saving optimizations, these improvements deliver up to 30% better power efficiency than competing solutions under typical 5G sub-6GHz connectivity conditions.
Faster 5G that Reaches Further
With wider cellular spectrum support than competitor alternatives, the Dimensity 6500 enables 5G download speeds of up to 3.3 Gb/s using 2CC carrier aggregation and includes 5G Standalone optimizations, which can offer up to 33% faster downlink and 18% faster uplink speeds*. Mixed duplex FDD+TDD carrier aggregation combines the benefits of low and mid-band frequencies, allowing smartphones to achieve faster speeds and broader coverage. It also enables smoother handovers between two 5G coverage areas, giving users more than 30% higher throughput across coverage layers compared with operation without carrier aggregation.
*Compared to competitor alternative smartphone chipsets
Situationally Intelligent Enhancements
When users are travelling on high-speed trains, subways, or moving through underground vehicle routes, MediaTek’s 5G modem detects the connection conditions and automatically applies situationally aware enhancements. These optimizations can deliver up to 20% faster effective downlink speeds compared to competitor alternatives.
LB+LB ENDC and 8-layer DL MIMO Support
Support for advanced cellular technologies such as dual low-band ENDC and 8-layer downlink MIMO meets the latest operator requirements, and helps ensure the smartphone remains ready for future network developments.
