MediaTek Dimensity 6100 Plus 5G is now official, the new chip for future mainstream devices?

Dimensity 6100+ boasts an octa-core architecture based on the 6nm manufacturing process featuring 2x Cortex-A76 big cores and 6x Cortex-A55 efficient cores. MediaTek also said that it has "outstanding" UX and GPU performance by using the Arm Mali-G57 MC2 GPU.

Key features of Dimensity 6100+

What this chip is highlighting the most is its use of an enhanced 5G modem with support for  5G modem supporting 3GPP Release 16 standard with up to 140MHz 2CC 5G Carrier Aggregation. The company said that this brings a "reliable" sub-6GHz at an accessible price point.

This even has support for MediaTek UltraSave 3.0+ technology to ensure that it has low power consumption. Taiwanese chipmaker boasts that it brings 20 percent reduced 5G power consumption compared to other competitive solutions.

Moreover, it has support for 10-bit displays with one billion colors and 90Hz to 120Hz refresh rates.

For cameras, it has up to 108MP Non-ZSL camera support, up to 2K 30fps video capture, and AI-color tech with Arcsoft, and AI-bokeh.

As developing markets continue rolling out 5G networks at a rapid pace and operators in developed markets work to finish transitioning consumers from 4G LTE to 5G, there has never been a more vital need for chipsets that cater to the growing number of mainstream mobile devices that feature next-generation connectivity, said CH Chen, Deputy General Manager of MediaTek’s Wireless Communications Business Unit. The MediaTek Dimensity 6000 series makes it possible for device makers to stay ahead of the curve with impressive upgrades that boost performance, increase power efficiency and reduce material costs. 

There is no word on what brand will be the first to launch a device with Dimensity 6100+. But, MediaTek said that it will be available in the third quarter of 2023.
