Netizens who pay attention to mobile phone news may think that after Apple, Samsung, Huawei and Xiaomi all released new phones in September, October will be relatively quiet. In fact, MediaTek and Qualcomm, the two major chip manufacturers closely related to Android mobile phones, will release flagship processors in October, and they will be inextricably competing.
Performance may be exceeded
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is confirmed to be released on October 24, and it is said that Dimensity 9300 will be announced before that. The latter’s running results are said to surpass its opponents. In addition to catching up with latecomers in performance, MediaTek has also significantly improved its software support period. In the past, Qualcomm Snapdragon devices usually received system upgrade support for 2 to 3 years, while MediaTek only received 1 to 2 years. However, in 2023, there was a reversal.
MTK support period is longer
Some media discovered that MediaTek has surpassed Qualcomm in terms of support period in its history. For the Xiaomi 13T and 13T Pro released at the end of last month, Xiaomi promised to provide 4 years of major Android system upgrades and 5 years of security updates. The two new machines use Dimesnity 8200 and Dimensity 9200 respectively. + Processor, the Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 13 Pro and Xiaomi 13 Ultra in the same series have higher positioning and are equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processors. They only provide major Android system upgrades for 3 years, while security updates are also for 5 years. Nowadays, flagship mobile phones are getting more and more expensive. The longer they are supported, the longer they can be used by consumers. As for whether mobile phone manufacturers like this change, it remains to be seen whether Qualcomm will take corresponding measures.
