MediaTek recently launched the Dimensity 6100+, a new chip that aims to bring advanced 5G connectivity and performance to mainstream smartphones.
The Dimensity 6100+ boasts several features that make it stand out from other chips in its class, such as faster downloads, billion-color displays, enhanced gaming performance, and 108MP AI camera support. In this article, we will take a closer look at some of the key aspects of this chip and how it can benefit smartphone users.
1. 5G that’s great for traveling
One of the main advantages of the Dimensity 6100+ is its ability to provide fast and reliable 5G connectivity in various scenarios. Whether you are traveling on subways, high-speed rail, or using long road tunnels and underground areas, the 5G modem in the Dimensity 6100+ can recognize these situations and adjust the way it works to provide up to 20% more effective downlink speeds compared to other chips.
This means you can enjoy smoother streaming, browsing, and downloading on your smartphone even in challenging environments.
2. Future proof 5G
The Dimensity 6100+ also supports the latest 5G features that are now required by many major global cellular operators, such as dual, low-band ENDC and 8-layer DL MIMO. These features enable the chip to access more cellular bandwidth and deliver higher data rates and lower latency.
The Dimensity 6100+ is also compatible with both standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) 5G networks, making it future-proof and ready for the next generation of 5G services.
3. Faster downloads for mainstream smartphones
Another benefit of the Dimensity 6100+ is its ability to reach faster download speeds than most mainstream 5G smartphones. While other chips in this class can only connect at speeds up to 2.7Gbps, the Dimensity 6100+ can reach up to 3.3Gbps, thanks to its ability to address 40% more cellular bandwidth. This means you can download large files, such as movies or games, in a matter of seconds.
Moreover, the Dimensity 6100+ supports 2CC carrier aggregation, which can mix mid and low bands to provide users with greater reach and more coverage in 5G connection areas.
4. Billion-color displays
The Dimensity 6100+ also enhances the visual quality of your smartphone by supporting displays that can show up to a billion colors. With its full HDR chip-to-display pipeline, the Dimensity 6100+ ensures that photos and videos are more lifelike and natural, while movies and TV shows shot in HDR appear as they were meant to be experienced. The chip also supports high refresh rates up to 120Hz, which makes the display smoother and more responsive.
Additionally, the chip features MediaTek MiraVision technology, which intelligently adjusts the brightness, contrast, color, sharpness, and dynamic range of the display according to the content and ambient light conditions.
5. Enhanced gaming performance
The Dimensity 6100+ is also great for users who enjoy a splash of gaming on their smartphones. The chip features two high-performance cores in the octa-core CPU with speeds up to 2.2 GHz, as well as a dual-core GPU that can handle graphics-intensive games.
Moreover, the chip features MediaTek HyperEngine 3.0 lite gaming technology, which optimizes the CPU, GPU, memory, and network performance to ensure a smooth and immersive gaming experience. HyperEngine also enhances the networking capabilities of the chip by providing faster network response, more reliable connectivity, and seamless switching between Wi-Fi and cellular networks.
6. 108MP AI camera
The Dimensity 6100+ also supports premium-sized camera sensors that can capture highly detailed photos up to 108MP. The chip provides an advanced imaging processor with noise reduction technologies that ensure low-light and nighttime captures are always clear and sharp.
The chip also supports hardware-accelerated depth perception that makes fast work of adding background blur to portrait shots. Furthermore, the chip enables smartphone designers to embrace AI camera enhancements such as AI color, which gives users a new sense of fun and style in their photos by applying different color effects.
The MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ is expected to power a range of 5G devices from leading smartphone brands in the coming months.
