MediaTek recently released a new flagship product - Dimensity 9200. This chip adopts TSMC's 4nm process standard and consists of one X3 super-large core, three A715 large cores and four A510 small cores. Compared with the Dimensity 9000 chip, the energy consumption ratio of the Dimensity 9200 chip is greatly improved, and the performance improvement is not so obvious.
After MediaTek released Dimensity 9200, vivo announced that it would "first release" the chip; OPPO "first release" the Dimensity 9000 this year, but the Dimensity version of Find X5 Pro equipped with this chip was launched twice, and the experience of this machine was not very good, so OPPO's "first release" this time was considered a relatively failed behavior.
The X80 series that did not "first release" Dimensity 9000 was a great success, but the success of this series of machines is believed to be closely related to vivo's attention to Dimensity 9000 chip; on the one hand, vivo's training of this chip is more attentive than OPPO, and on the other hand, the pricing of the X80 series equipped with this chip is not as "outrageous" as OPPO. The starting price of
vivo X80 is 3,699 yuan. Compared with the OPPO Find X5 Pro Dimensity version that uses the same chip, the former is more than 2,000 yuan cheaper; in addition, in order to supplement the shortcomings of poor photography with Dimensity chips, vivo uses the independently developed V1 chip on the X80 series, while OPPO does not use the self-developed Mariana X chip on a flagship phone priced at 5,799 yuan.
Some retailers said that the price of vivo X90 is more expensive than the previous generation machine, and it is likely to be 3,999 yuan; if it is equipped with MediaTek Dimensity 9200 chip, Xiaozhai believes that the price is not very expensive, after all, MediaTek's boss said a few days ago that the chip will increase its price; in addition, the hot sales of the previous generation machine gave vivo courage and confidence, and price increase is imperative.
vivo X80 series should be one of the best-selling domestic flagship phones this year. When major manufacturers were promoting the flagship phone of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, the vivo X80 series was a great success with the Dimensity 9000 chip, which has an outstanding energy consumption ratio. After all, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 has no advantage compared to the Dimensity 9000. This chip is too hot and the energy consumption ratio is also very poor - even worse than the Snapdragon 888.
Finally, vivo X90 Pro+. This machine will use Sony IMX989 main camera lens, which is also the imaging flagship in the X90 series. The phone is expected to be equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, and also uses the independently developed V2 chip. The overall performance, screen and photography have reached a relatively high level. The phone is expected to become the biggest competitor of Xiaomi 12S Ultra.
