Samsung is rumored to be getting a sweet pricing deal from MediaTek for Dimensity APs to be used by budget Galaxy phones.
Looking to get some more business out of Samsung, leaker Revegnus (via Wccftech) says in a tweet that MediaTek is offering the manufacturer special pricing. The goal is to get Samsung, whose global smartphone dynasty ended last year, to commit to MediaTek’s Dimensity chipsets to power more low-end Galaxy handsets. The reason for making a switch to Dimensity would be a financial one as it would help to improve the company’s profit margins.
Let’s make one thing clear. Samsung just signed a multi-year supply agreement with Qualcomm which means that the top-of-the-line Snapdragon APs will still be found in the Galaxy S Ultra and Galaxy Z foldable handsets for the next few years. But MediaTek is looking to start small, get its silicon inside more lower-end handsets, and possibly move up from there to mid-range and flagship models.
