Mediatek has announced its next flagship mobile processing chip for some time now, but tech fans have yet to hear what smartphones it will power. That changed recently with Oppo announcing that a version of the Oppo Find X5 Pro using Dimensity 9000 will be released.
Oppo announced in a Weibo post (via GSMArena) on Friday, confirming that the Dimensity 9000 will debut on the “Find X5 Pro Dimensity Edition.” It is worth noting that an earlier leak that supposedly revealed the technical specifications of the device mentioned it is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
The Find X5 Pro Dimensity Edition is only announced on the Chinese microblogging site as of this writing, so it is still unclear if the version powered by Dimensity 9000 will ship to other regions. More details should be available in the coming days, though. The same (machine-translated) post confirmed that the Find X5 series will launch globally on Thursday, Feb. 24.
Mediatek originally announced the Dimensity 9000 last December and it is poised as the company’s next flagship SoC designed to power premium smartphones. Android users should then expect the chipset to be used on more flagship-level phones to be announced in the coming months.
The Dimensity 9000 uses the same 1 x 3 x 4 Arm cores as Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, but Mediatek claims its newest chip is optimized to perform at up to 3.05GHz. It is a tad better than the advertised 3.0GHz (specifically, 2.995GHz) clocked speed of the Qualcomm counterpart. But both chips use the same Arm cores, including one ultra core Cortex-X2, three super cores Cortex-A710, and four efficiency cores Cortex A510.
Oppo has also confirmed last week that it signed a deal with Hasselblad to co-develop the camera technology for the Find X series in the next three years. While the partnership was just announced, the company confirmed the first product of this collaboration will be available in the Find X5 Pro. “Leveraging Natural Color Calibration with Hasselblad, OPPO also targets to bring the most natural skin tone possible to its portrait photography,” Oppo said.
