OPPO and MediaTek joined forces at the MediaTek Technology Diaries event on November 15th to unveil their latest collaboration: the OPPO Find X8 Series. These smartphones are the first in India to utilize MediaTek’s powerful Dimensity 9400 chipset, promising a significant leap in performance, efficiency, and AI capabilities.
Dimensity 9400
Built on TSMC’s advanced 3nm process, the Dimensity 9400 boasts a second-generation All Big Core design, featuring a Cortex-X925 core clocked at 3.62GHz, alongside Cortex-X4 and Cortex-A720 cores. This configuration delivers a 35% boost in single-core performance, a 28% increase in multi-core performance, and an impressive 40% improvement in power efficiency compared to its predecessor.
Enhanced Gaming and Imaging
Gamers will appreciate the Dimensity 9400’s 12-core ARM Immortalis-G925 GPU, which offers up to 40% faster raytracing performance and support for PC-level features like opacity micromaps. This translates to more immersive and realistic gaming experiences. OPPO’s custom cooling system further enhances the gaming experience by ensuring consistent high frame rates even during demanding games.
Photography enthusiasts will be equally impressed by the integration of MediaTek’s Imagiq 1090 ISP with OPPO’s Hasselblad Master Camera System and HyperTone Image Engine. This combination delivers AI-powered zoom, improved low-light performance, HDR video capabilities, and smoother zoom transitions.
AI-Driven Features
The Dimensity 9400’s 8th Generation NPU unlocks advanced AI features, including an 80% increase in large language model (LLM) prompt performance. OPPO has leveraged this capability to integrate Google Gemini Nano’s language intelligence within Magic Compose in Google Messages. This feature allows users to generate context-aware replies in various tones and languages.
Extended Battery Life and Connectivity
The Dimensity 9400’s power efficiency, combined with the Silicon-Carbon battery in the Find X8 Series, results in multi-day battery life. Additionally, OPPO’s AI LinkBoost and MediaTek’s connectivity upgrades ensure a stable and interruption-free connection, whether gaming or uploading content.
This collaboration between OPPO and MediaTek showcases the potential of partnerships in driving smartphone innovation forward. The OPPO Find X8 Series, powered by the Dimensity 9400, promises a compelling user experience with its enhanced performance, advanced AI capabilities, and impressive battery life.
Speaking at the event, Peter Dohyung Lee, Head of Product Strategy at OPPO, emphasised the significance of this partnership:
OPPO has been bringing the latest technologies to India for the past 10 years, and the upcoming launch of the Find X8 Series marks a significant milestone in our India commitment story.
The Find X8 redefines performance, camera, gaming, productivity, connectivity, and multimedia experience on smartphones. It combines OPPO’s innovations with MediaTek’s powerful Dimensity 9400 processor, and we are thrilled that Find X8 Pro and Find X8 are the first set of devices to be launched in India with this revolutionary chipset.
Dr. Yenchi Lee, General Manager of the Wireless Communications Business Unit, MediaTek:
