We’ve expanded our Dimensity 5G portfolio with two powerful new chipsets that excel in performance, AI, and connectivity. The Dimensity 9500s and Dimensity 8500 bring cutting-edge computing, advanced gaming capabilities, and next-generation wireless technologies to flagship and premium smartphones respectively. They are ideal for creators, gamers, and everyday users alike.
The MediaTek Dimensity 9500s is built to power what’s next, delivering exceptional performance across gaming, AI, imaging, and connectivity. As the newest flagship processor in the Dimensity family, it is engineered for users who demand the very best.
At its core is an All Big Core CPU architecture led by the flagship-class Arm Cortex-X925 processor, supported by a super-large in-chip cache for blazing-fast performance and improved energy efficiency. To ensure that performance is always well controlled, it is paired with the second-generation Dimensity Scheduling Engine, resulting in an exceptionally smooth Android experience even during heavy multitasking.
For gamers and enthusiasts, the Dimensity 9500s delivers stunning visual fidelity and sustained performance. The Immortalis-G925 GPU with hardware ray tracing, combined with MediaTek Adaptive Gaming Technology 3.0 and Frame Rate Converter 3.0, enables ultra-smooth gameplay at up to 165 FPS, or power-optimized 120+ FPS in today’s most demanding titles.
AI performance is equally impressive. The advanced MediaTek NPU is designed for on-device generative reasoning, multimodal AI, and intelligent agent-based tasks. From enhanced photography to creative tools and productivity features, users benefit from fast, private, on-device AI that scales effortlessly with today’s and future workloads.
Photography and video capture are equally strong. A content-aware ISP supports 8K Dolby Vision video, full-range HDR, and full-speed 30 FPS focus tracking, ensuring sharp and vibrant results even in fast-moving or low-light scenarios. Whether capturing action, livestreaming, or shooting cinematic footage, the Dimensity 9500s delivers professional-grade quality.
Connectivity is equally forward-looking, with next-generation 5G delivering ultra-fast, low-latency performance. Wi-Fi 7 with MediaTek Xtra Range 3.0 extends coverage across larger spaces for more stable connections. Direct phone-to-phone Bluetooth can reach up to 5 km, enabling long-range communication for outdoor use cases, while power-optimized Find My Device support ensures reliable tracking even during long standby periods.
The MediaTek Dimensity 8500 brings flagship-inspired performance to the premium segment, offering an ideal balance of power, efficiency, and advanced features.
It is powered by an All Big Core CPU design with eight Arm Cortex-A725 cores, large caches, and high-speed memory. Together, these deliver smooth multitasking and fluid everyday performance while maintaining excellent power efficiency.
Graphics performance is driven by an 8-core Arm Mali-G720 GPU enhanced with MediaTek HyperEngine technology. This combination enables longer, smoother gaming sessions while maximizing efficiency. Gamers can enjoy competitive gameplay at 120 FPS or push visuals to rich HDR settings while maintaining stable performance during extended play sessions.
The integrated 5G-Advanced modem makes the chip future-ready. With the latest third-generation Smart Network Suite and enhanced Subway Mode, users benefit from faster reconnections and improved reliability when moving in and out of coverage areas.
The in-chip NPU delivers advanced AI performance for fast and efficient on-device intelligence, enabling real-time translation and generative AI experiences. The Dimensity 8500 also benefits from a growing ecosystem of global language models and applications.
On the imaging front, users can take advantage of AI-powered Zero Shutter Lag photography and 4K HDR video recording. HDR is supported across the full zoom range to ensure consistent quality, while power-efficient processing allows for longer recording sessions without compromise. Compared to the previous generation, the Dimensity 8500 also delivers significant improvements in imaging power efficiency, helping devices stay cooler while enabling longer shooting, streaming, and recording sessions.
