MediaTek might be gearing up to release its upgraded Dimensity 9400+ chipset sooner than expected. According to trusted tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS), the new chip could debut as early as this quarter. The standout feature? An overclocked CPU that promises even better performance than the standard Dimensity 9400.
Once launched, we won’t have to wait long to see the chipset in action, as devices powered by the Dimensity 9400+ are expected to follow shortly. DCS hints at two upcoming smartphones that might debut with the new chip: one featuring a compact flat display with a periscope camera, and the other being a larger cameraphone, both rocking flat panels without the usual 2.5D curves. While the exact models remain unconfirmed, speculation points to the vivo X200S and the Oppo Find X8S as potential candidates.
What makes the Dimensity 9400+ so exciting? For starters, MediaTek typically rolls out the “Plus” versions of its flagship chipsets later in the year. However, the early arrival of the 9400+ suggests a strategic move to capture the performance-focused market sooner. The chip builds on the standard Dimensity 9400’s impressive specs, with its flagship Cortex-X925 core clocked at 3.63 GHz. The Plus version takes it up a notch to 3.7 GHz, promising smoother multitasking, faster processing, and improved gaming performance.
This early release could also give manufacturers a head start in integrating the enhanced chipset into their upcoming flagship devices. With MediaTek’s growing reputation for delivering competitive performance at a great value, the Dimensity 9400+ might just set the bar higher for premium smartphones in 2025.
Keep an eye out for official announcements and the first wave of phones powered by this powerhouse chipset—it’s shaping up to be an exciting launch!
