We can confirm that at least four smartphones will use the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 in the first quarter of 2022. And now, a new report has surfaced online suggesting that both the Xiaomi Redmi K50 and Realme GT Neo3 will feature the MediaTek Dimensity 8000 chip.
The Dimensity 8000 chip was recently teased by MediaTek and there is very limited information about this SoC unlike the Dimensity 9000 chip that was released last month. But, we expect the Dimensity 8000 SoC to be a more affordable premium chipset for flagship smartphones.
