News & Reviews:   mobile chipset

Flagships phones are great, but not everyone can afford them. Mid-range devices could be better, as they can be powerful enough while being cheaper. In that sense, the upcoming mid-range Qualcomm chipset could just be what many people want.

Many of the things we do daily are at our fingertips. Catching up on the news, binging your favourite shows, mobile photography, gaming and more. If you are very serious about gaming and photography with your phone, the very first thing you need to keep an eye out for would be the chipset. For these reasons, here is why you should get a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered smartphone.

MediaTek has unveiled its latest mid-tier mobile chipset, the Dimensity 1080 which offers better performance, efficiency and imaging capabilities compared to its predecessor the Dimensity 920. The chipset supports 5G connectivity too and will be powering devices as early as the end of 2022.

In the span of a few weeks, major chip companies all released their latest mobile chipsets. There's the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, MediaTek Dimensity 9000, and the most recent Exynos 2200. It's hard to say which chipset is the best, but new benchmarks could answer this question.

In the last week or so, we've seen some news about new MediaTek chipsets. The company already launched its flagship Dimensity 9000 last month, before confirming that a Dimensity 8000 would also come soon. Now, we also have sources suggesting which devices would be the first to feature the Dimensity 8000.

Back in July 2020, it was reported that Samsung would skip the 4nm chip manufacturing node. Sources suggest that Samsung's competitor, TSMC, would launch its first 3nm chip by 2H 2022, so Samsung decided to go straight to 3nm to get ahead of its competition. And it looks like the rumour is true!

Back in June, sources claimed that the Samsung Exynos 2200 outperformed the Apple A14 Bionic in GPU performance. The source provided no evidence to prove it, but now there's another benchmark to compare the two chipsets. But this time around, we have more details on the chipset.

A few weeks back, MediaTek launched the Dimensity 1100 chipset, which can be found in the vivo S10 and the upcoming POCO X3 GT. But MediaTek could be working on a variant of the chipset. In fact, there's a device that's rumoured to feature this Dimensity 1100U.

Remember the piece of Exynos news from yesterday? It's said that Samsung is working on a new Exynos chipset with AMD GPU that will be used in laptops. A reliable source has said that this is the Exynos 2200 chipset, which will also be used in other devices.

Most of you are familiar know about MediaTek, Qualcomm, and Samsung chipsets. But what about smaller companies like Unisoc? Unisoc is a Chinese chipset manufacturer and it just announced its new Tanggula 7 series, which are 5G chipsets for mid-range devices.
