MediaTek, profiled for slightly cheaper phones, has released a supplement to its 5G system chipset. The new Dimensity 700 is the company’s most affordable 5G system chip to date.

MediaTek’s new Dimensity 700 is designed to bring 5G to the mass market for phones. Within a 7-nanometer system circuit, two Arm Cortex-A 76 with a maximum of 2.2 GHz pulsates – and six Cortex-A 1080 with a maximum of 2 GHz core supported by the 950 MHz Mali-G 57 MC2 graphics controller. The system chip supports UFS 2.2 storage and a maximum of 12 gigabytes of LPDDR4X memory.

There is also an unspecified artificial intelligence accelerator and, at best, an image processor supporting one 64 megapixel or two 16 sensors (ISP, Image Signal Processor). At its best, the system circuit supports 2520 × 1080 resolution FullHD + screens and 90 Hertz refresh rate, but the HDR support familiar from more robust circuits has been reduced according to the feature list from the ride

On the 5G side, MediaTek’s new system chip supports 5G Carrier Aggregation technology (2CC 5G-CA) and two simultaneous 5G SIM cards. It leverages the company’s 5G UltraSave technologies to reduce the power consumption of 5G connections. The maximum download speed for 5G connections is 2, 77 Gbps. On the Wi-Fi side, the system circuit is limited to the obsolete Wi-Fi 5 and version 5.1 of Bluetooth is supported.

MediaTek did not announce on which phone the new system chip will be the first to be seen in real life, but it is expected to go on sale in the first quarter of next year.
