Some time ago, we briefly introduced the Qualcomm Snapdragon Gen2 chip in an article, mainly to introduce what else we can get besides performance? The answer is that the user experience at many levels will be improved, such as game picture quality, sound quality, photo upgrade, etc. So what will the MTK Dimensity 9200, as a competitor, look like? Will there be an equal upgrade? This answer is a little more complicated, and it is indeed different from , Qualcomm, and . Let’s take a look at what new features MTK emphasizes.
Now Qualcomm and MTK's new flagship phones are facing a head-on battle, and many friends may be undecided about this and do not know which one to choose. Let’s talk about the answer first. If we look at the extreme, the priority is still the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen2, which may be better in all aspects. For example, the image performance is still Qualcomm’s strength, but the price will be a little more expensive. But in the flagship market, even if it is not that extreme, it can bring us enough freshness, so Dimensity 9200 can also be used as an option, and the price will be relatively cheap.
1, ray tracing
At Qualcomm's press conference, Qualcomm focused on the final performance of rays. We also explained that because mobile games generally have low resolution, the mobile GPU is indeed competent. Does Dimensity 9200 support ray tracing? The answer is yes. The Immortalis-G715 is already supported, but it is not as strong as Qualcomm Adreno. In addition, this effect also depends on the game. For example, the partners selected by the two companies during display are different. So if you can see it in hardware, it is another matter.
2, optimize signal for special scenarios
Previously, MTK's chips became the selling point because they supported 5G dual-station and dual standby, but now Qualcomm's flagship chip also supports this technology and is named DSDA. In 5G, MTK's current focus is to promote the connection speed and different working modes in different scenarios, such as high-speed rail mode, basement mode, etc., especially the airport mode, which can accelerate the connection after the aircraft lands. But why do these sound so familiar? Huawei once...
3, high-quality Bluetooth music
0Qualcomm supports lossless music on Snapdragon 8 Gen2, and MTK will naturally not be bad. It supports high-definition audio encoding on the Dimensity 9200 chip, with up to 8Mbps Bluetooth, and supports dual connections between WIFI and Bluetooth , which is to use WIFI resources to ensure the speed of Bluetooth. But compared with Qualcomm, spatial audio is gone, and for MTK, the lack of its own algorithm specifications and certification standards is still a shortcoming. Without a complete solution like Qualcomm's Snapdragon Changting, it means there is still room for improvement.
4, the positioning accuracy is greatly improved
MTK's Dimensity 9200 actually has a very interesting selling point, that is, it supports the global GPS, not just the traditional Chinese, American, Russian and Chinese imperialists. However, in terms of practicality, it is enough to support the three biggest ones. Of course, it can be used as a selling point, not only with much support, but more importantly with high accuracy. MTK has increased the positioning accuracy from 10 meters to 5 meters, giving the mobile phone more space for algorithm optimization.
5, the last one to support WIFI7
is WIFI7. From the point of MTK's release of Dimensity 9200 first, it can indeed be regarded as the first support of MTK. However, Qualcomm has launched the FastConnect7800 WIFI7 chip, I wonder if MTK has a corresponding solution. Compared with WIFI6, the biggest feature of WIFI7 is actually to enhance the performance of the intranet, but it is achieved through the newly opened 6GHz channel, which has no practical significance at this stage.
summary, through these new features of Dimensity 9200, we can find that MTK has indeed made great progress on the basis of the previous generation, and many places have surpassed Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1. However, in the next 2023, Dimensity 9200's opponent is Snapdragon 8 Gen2. Compared with all aspects, MTK still seems to lack an advantage. But as a flagship mobile phone chip, it is definitely qualified.
