MediaTek has launched an upgraded flagship smartphone chip with a Bluetooth range 6.6 times that of Dimensity 9400.
Taiwanese silicon giant MediaTek has launched Dimensity 9400+, the successor to its flagship SoC from last year. The freshly baked smartphone chip offers updated specs across multiple fronts, including CPU, AI, and more.
However, the unexpected upgrade came from the Bluetooth department. The smartphone chip offers a phone-to-phone Bluetooth range of up to 10km when in direct line of sight. Dimensity 9400+ is powered by Bluetooth 6.0 with a dual Bluetooth engine, offering a peak data rate of up to 12 Mbps.
For comparison, the claimed Bluetooth range is more than six times higher than the 1.5km range offered by its predecessor, Dimensity 9400. While you might be waiting for the satellite-powered Starlink internet to help you in dead zones, MediaTek says, „These ultra-long reach direct connections don’t require cellular mobile services, saving data and improving privacy.
