With over 100 million MediaTek-powered phones sold in the last quarter, the company recently surpassed Qualcomm as the world’s biggest mobile chip vendor in terms of market share. Most of those chips are used on budget and mid-range devices, with Qualcomm holding on to the crown as the largest 5G chipset vendor. Last year, MediaTek saw an opportunity to launch a high-end mobile platform that integrated 5G connectivity, seeing as Qualcomm was more focused on 5G adoption at low-end and mid-range price points. That platform was the Dimensity 1000+, which sported enough CPU and GPU performance to power mid-range and high-end smartphones from Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi, Honor, and Realme.
