MediaTek Dimensity 1050

The Dimensity 1050 supports Full HD+ displays up to a super-fast 144Hz refresh rate. Native 10-bit color gives vibrant HDR and a billion-color palette. Support for the latest global HDR video standards includes HDR10+ Adaptive, CUVA HDR-vivid, HLG and Dolby Vision.

High-speed displays provide notably smoother everyday experiences like scrolling and animations in apps. MediaTek Intelligent Display Sync technology improves the power efficiency of fast displays by dynamically adjusting the refresh rate to only enable faster speeds when it’s needed most.

Using technologies first premiered in the Dimensity 9000 and 8000 Series, the Imagiq 760 HDR-ISP provides a dual HDR video capture engine that can record on two cameras simultaneously, giving users unique streaming/videography opportunities to record selfie + environment, or different frames of the same view, such as wide + zoom, to never miss a moment.

Device makers can build multi-camera smartphones with main cameras up to 108MP, while making use of the highly capable MediaTek NPU 550 to apply excellent noise reduction techniques for superior low-light photos.

The MediaTek NPU 550 upgrades the efficiency and functionality of computer vision (CV) operations versus previous MediaTek NPU designs. Further generational improvements to the multi-tasking scheduler ensures low latency and power-efficiency in all AI-tasks. In addition to standard INT8 and INT16 instructions, the NPU 550 can also natively process FP16 for precision-reliant actions.

The Dimensity 1050 features two Arm Cortex-A78 CPUs with frequencies up to 2.5GHz, offering snappier performance in apps, faster loading webpages and better FPS in games. Using the latest Arm Mali-G610 graphics engine means the Dimensity 1050 provides great gaming performance and improved efficiency versus previous generation Mali designs, while UFS 3.1 storage and LPDDR5 memory supplies these powerful processors the fastest data streams.

MediaTek HyperEngine 5.0 gaming technologies make smarter use of CPU and GPU resources when gaming to improve power efficiency. The technology suite features exclusive AI-based Variable Rate Shading (AI-VRS), MediaTek Intelligent Display Sync, plus Wi-Fi and 5G optimisations to ensure lower-latency connections to the game server.

Wi-Fi 6E (2x2 MIMO) is built right into the chip, giving the Dimensity 1050 superior power efficiency compared to competitor platforms use of external Wi-Fi chip solutions. Wi-Fi 6E is the latest standard that introduces tri-band (2.4GHz, 5GHz, 6GHz) connectivity, giving users faster, lower-latency local network connections.

Using the advanced TSMC N6 (6nm-class) production process means the Dimensity 1050 is exceptionally light on power, extending battery life even for the most demanding smartphone users.
