List of Phones with MediaTek Dimensity 800 & 800U SoC

MediaTek has been manufacturing mobile SoCs for a long time now, and recently, they, too, joined in on the 5G venture that everyone is following. In the last two years, MediaTek has been mainly about mid-tier processors, the Helio P and G series. But recently, in the latter half of 2019, MediaTek entered the premium flagship segment and launched its first take on a 5G chip, the Dimensity 1000. This is the first in its series, but we can surely hope to see the series continue in the coming years.

A few weeks after the release of Dimensity 1000, we have MediaTek’s Dimensity 800 and 800U, a mid-range 5G processor. As of now, we have seen only a few phones officially with these new 5G processors, but there are rumors about a couple of 800U phones that will be announced in India soon. How does the Dimensity 800/800U processor stack up? What are these devices? Let’s find out.

MediaTek Dimensity 800 & 800U Detailed Specifications

The Dimensity 800 falls just beneath the Dimensity 1000 and is a worthy competitor to the more famous Snapdragon 765G/765. The Dimensity 800 is built on a 7nm manufacturing process and has an integrated 5G modem. In terms of CPU, we get four high-performance Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2GHz, and four power-efficient Cortex-A55 cores also clocked at 2GHz. The use of four high-performance cores differentiates it from the 765 in a significant way, as it will improve the app opening and launch times. For GPU, we get the Mali-G57MC4, a four-core variant of the Mali-G57, which stacks up equally against the 765 G’s Adreno 620 GPU. For AI, MediaTek went with four cores consisting of three different types of cores, which give the Dimensity 800 APU an achievement of 2.4 TOPs.

Moving on to the optics aspect, we have support for up to 64MP or a dual-camera setup of 32MP+16MP. The ISP built into this processor also comes with a bunch of AI improvements, which include AI autofocus, autoexposure, auto white balance, noise reduction, high dynamic range (AI HDR), and dedicated facial detection hardware. However, on the display front, the Dimensity 800 falls just a bit short of the Snapdragon 765. Indeed, it supports FHD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 90Hz, which is industry-leading, but the 765 goes a step ahead by enabling support for up to 120Hz.

Dimensity 800U is a slightly tweaked version of 800 with overclocked CPU cores. It packs Dual 5G SIM support and an integrated 5G modem. You can see their difference in the below table.
