The Dimensity 7300X is the most prominent model of the new smartphone chipsets that MediaTek has just introduced. It is expected to be the key to pave the way for a new generation of affordable flip phones.

There’s a lot of talk about Qualcomm as a great chipset supplier for third-party manufacturers, but MediaTek is another crucial supplier for the industry. It sells its SoCs to hundreds of manufacturers and is very important in the mid and low end. He presented two new versions in front of Computex, and we can already tell that they will be important.

7300X size, specially for folding

MediaTek defined the creation of this chipset “thinking about foldable devices with flexible screens or dual screens”. This could have a big impact on the smartphone market, especially in the entry-level line of small foldable clamshell devices like Samsung’s Flip.

In fact, the Motorola Razr 50 (the foldable Razr of 2024) will debut this MediaTeck SoC. The current 2023 version is the most affordable foldable out there, and with the potential of the Dimensity 7300X, there is talk that we will see foldable phones in the $500 range. Fantastic for users who like these designs but haven’t had access to them due to their high cost.

Technically, we are talking about a SoC manufactured in 4 nanometer processes, with an octa-core ARM CPU that combines high-performance Cortex-A78 cores with additional efficient Cortex-A55 cores to balance performance and energy efficiency. It features the Mali-G615 GPU and advances in all areas involving artificial intelligence tasks.

It is compatible with dual SIM and 5G networks dual with VoNR offers more options depending on the world region where it is used. It also supports tri-band Wi-Fi 6E for wireless connectivity as well as Bluetooth 5.3. It also has the MiraVision 955 to support displays with resolutions up to WFHD+ and the Imagiq 950 chip for cameras, which includes 12-bit HDR-ISP and 200MP main camera support.

This Dimensity 7300X is very interesting if, as promised, it is able to stimulate the folding device market by reducing its price to reasonable values ​​that all users can pay.
