MediaTek launches the first mmWave chipset for seamless 5G connectivity on smartphones

Dimensity 1050 mmWave SoC highlights three new chipsets expanding MediaTek’s 5G and gaming portfolio

HSINCHU, Taiwan – May 23, 2022 – MediaTek today announced the Dimensity 1050 chip system [SoC], its first mmWave 5G chipset, which will power the next generation of 5G smartphones with seamless connectivity, displays, games and energy efficiency. With dual connectivity using mmWave and below 6GHz, the Dimensity 1050 will provide the speed and capacity needed to provide smartphone users with an incredible experience, even in some of the most densely populated areas.

Dimensity 1050 combines mmWave 5G and sub-6GHz for smooth migration between network strips and is built on the ultra-efficient TSMC 6nm manufacturing process with an octa-core processor. Supporting 3CC media aggregation in the sub-6 (FR1) spectrum and 4CC media aggregation in the mmWave spectrum (FR2), the Dimensity 1050 will be able to deliver up to 53 percent faster speeds and greater range to smartphones than LTE alone + mmWave aggregation. The SoC integrates two premium Arm Cortex-A78 processors up to 2.5 GHz and the latest Arm Mali-G610 graphics engine.

“Dimensity 1050 and its combination of technologies below 6GHz and mmWave will provide a 5G end-to-end experience, uninterrupted connectivity and superior energy efficiency to meet the daily demands of consumers,” said CH Chen, Deputy General Manager of Wireless Communications. MediaTek department. “With faster, more reliable connections and advanced camera technology, this chip provides powerful features that help the device differentiate the product lines of its smartphones.”

In addition to 5G optimizations, the Dimensity 1050 offers Wi-Fi optimizations along with MediaTek’s HyperEngine 5.0 gaming technology to provide lower latency connections with the new triband – 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz – which extends time and performance. the game. In addition, UFS 3.1 high-end storage and LPDDR5 memory provide ultra-fast data streams to accelerate applications, social feeds and faster FPS in games.

Additional features of the Dimensity 1050 include:

  • Support for True Dual 5G SIM (5G SA + 5G SA) and Dual VoNR
  • Super fast 144Hz Full HD + displays with intense, vibrant colors via MediaTek’s MiraVision 760
  • Dual HDR video capture device that allows users to stream simultaneously with front and rear cameras
  • Excellent noise reduction for superb low-light photos, and MediaTek’s APU 550 improves camera performance with AI
  • Wi-Fi 6E support for superior energy efficiency and 2×2 MIMO antenna provides faster and more reliable connections

MediaTek also announced two additional chipsets to expand its 5G and gaming chipset families:

  • Dimensity 930 allows 5G smartphones to download data faster and stay connected regardless of location with 2CC-CA, including mixed duplex FDD + TDD for higher speeds and longer range. Designed to capture vivid detail, it is equipped with MiraVision HDR video playback and a display for 120Hz Full HD + displays and HDR10 + video. In addition, enhancements to HyperEngine 3.0 Lite games provide intelligent multi-network management to ensure lower latency for a smooth user experience and maximum battery life.
  • The Helio G99 delivers amazing 4G / LTE mobile gaming experiences for higher bandwidth speeds and more than 30 percent power savings for gaming compared to the Helio G96. This SoC will be available to customers in the second quarter of 2022.

Dimensity 930-powered smartphones will be available in the second quarter of 2022; in addition, smartphones using Dimensity 1050 and Helio G99 will be on the market in the third quarter of 2022.
