A lot has changed in the technology world these past few years. Smartphones have become ubiquitous thanks to good affordable phones becoming a reality, wearables have gone from luxury gadgets to mainstream products, and smart speakers powered by digital assistants have entered more homes than ever before. And this means that cutting-edge technologies are accessible easily to the common folk. At the centre of all this has been MediaTek’s drive to develop and rapidly circulate groundbreaking technologies in the market. The company has worked relentlessly to create technologies that allow other companies to create smart devices that make people’s lives better. In this article, we take a brief look at how MediaTek has always remained at the cutting-edge of future-ready technologies.
Carrying the innovation baton for smartphones
MediaTek has worked tirelessly to improve underlying technologies to deliver outstanding consumer experiences. While MediaTek has done uncountable things to improve smartphones in the past few years, the star of the show has to be its MediaTek Dimensity line of chipsets. The MediaTek Dimensity chipsets not only brought powerful performance and a vast feature set, but they have also fast-tracked the 5G era.
Its recent announcement of the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset is a shining example of the company redefining what a flagship smartphone chipset means. The foundation for this powerful SoC was laid by the MediaTek Dimensity 1200. It tore through benchmarks and powered most of the flagship smartphones launched in the past year. Now the lead is all set to widen with the launch of the MediaTek Dimensity 9000, which will power premium flagship smartphones from major OEMs in 2022. Thanks to the success of the MediaTek Dimensity chipsets, the company has captured 40 percent of the market share of the global smartphone SoC according to Counterpoint Research.
