MediaTek Dimensity 700 7nm SoC launched to bring advanced 5G capabilities

As for connectivity, the Dimensity 700 chipset features 5G Carrier Aggregation (2CC 5G-CA) that enables faster average speeds, over 30% greater throughput layer coverage and a seamless handover between two 5G connection areas across a coverage layer. With 5G dual SIM dual standby (DSDS), users can access the fastest speeds and 5G-exclusive VoNR services from either connection.

Taiwanese chipmaker MediaTek on Tuesday introduced the new Dimensity 700 5G smartphone chipset based on a 7nm process technology which is up to 28% more power-efficient than an equivalent 8nm process. With this latest chipset, the company aims to bring advanced 5G capabilities and experiences to the mass market.

The Dimensity 700 SoC's octa-core CPU packs two Arm Cortex-A76 Big cores operating up to 2.2GHz, LPDDR4X memory up to 2,133MHz and fast UFS 2.2 2-lane storage enabling 1GB/s data streaming, 4X faster than typical mainstream smartphones with eMMC.

The new chipset supports high-resolution FHD+ displays with up to 90Hz refresh rate and up to 64MP main camera sensors along with AI-camera enhancements. It supports multiple voice assistants including from Alibaba, Amazon, Baidu, Google and Tencent.
