Powerful internals for a smooth gaming experience

The octa-core processor has two ARM Cortex-A78 cores clocked at up to 2.5GHz, and six ARM Cortex-A55 cores running at up to 2GHz. Along with providing immense power, the processor is built on a TSMC 6nm process that makes it power-efficient. The processor is paired with 6GB or 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

The SoC also comes with Mali-G68 MC4 GPU to render high-def graphics. Speaking of gaming, the phone also comes with a 5-layer cooling system that has a great heat dissipation technology covering all the heat source components. This can reduce the core temperature by up to 10-degree Celsius, which will enable sustained gaming. Adding to the immersive gaming experience are dual speakers powered by Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res audio.

The MediaTek Dimensity 920 SoC also features an integrated 5G modem with 5 5G bands, and it supports dual 5G mode. Additionally, the chip enables the Wi-Fi 6 for even better connectivity on the phone.

Additionally, MediaTek Dimensity 920’s Intelligent Refresh Rate feature makes sure you utilise the display to its full potential as it can adjust the refresh rate according to the needs. Not to mention that the AMOLED panel makes sure you enjoy excellent colour accuracy with good contrast and viewing angles. The screen also gets a protective layer against scratches in the form of Corning Gorilla Glass 5.
