MediaTek announces the Dimensity 720, another mid-range SoC with integrated 5G
MediaTek has announced the Dimensity 720, which is the first SoC in the mid-range Dimensity 700 series. It has an integrated 5G modem.
MediaTek launched the Dimensity 1000, its first SoC in the 5G Dimensity SoC series, back in November 2019. The Dimensity 1000 in its original form interestingly hasn't made its way to any shipping device yet, but the Dimensity 1000L---a lower binned version of the chip---did make its way to the Chinese OPPO Reno3. The Dimensity 1000's announcement was followed by the announcements of the mid-range Dimensity 800 and the Dimensity 820 at CES 2020 and in May 2020 respectively, while the Dimensity 1000 received a refresh in the form of the 144Hz-supporting Dimensity 1000 Plus, which made its way into the iQOO Z1. Now, MediaTek has extended the Dimensity series by launching the first SoC in the Dimensity 700 in the form of the Dimensity 720. This is another mid-range SoC with an integrated 5G modem, but as expected, it cuts down on its core specifications compared to the Dimensity 800 series.
