It also integrates an Arm Mali-G68 MC4 graphics processing unit (GPU), along with an independent artificial intelligence (AI) processing unit (APU), which according to MediaTek helps in delivering optimal power efficiency for extended battery life.
The company has also claimed that this processor integrates an HDR-native image signal processor (ISP) and a hardware-accelerated 4K HDR video recording engine, which is why it supports up to four concurrent cameras and up to 108MP sensors with 32M at 30fps and multi-camera options such as 20+20MP.
It also packs upgraded video capabilities from a standard dynamic range (SDR) to HDR with real-time enhancements of HDR10+ video playback.
For gaming, this processor supports MediaTek’s HyperEngine gaming engine and connectivity-wise, it offers support for dual-SIM 5G standby function, 5G SA/NSA networking and dual-SIM VoNR voice services.
