  • MediaTek has announced the Dimensity 9400 Plus flagship processor.
  • This brings a few performance, AI, and connectivity upgrades over the standard chip.
  • The first phones with the Dimensity 9400 Plus chip will launch later this month.

MediaTek launched its Dimensity 9400 flagship processor late last year, and it’s a compelling alternative to the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Now, the Taiwanese brand has revealed the Dimensity 9400 Plus.

This chip is identical to the standard Dimensity 9400 in almost every way, although we do see some CPU, AI, and connectivity upgrades. Perhaps the most impressive upgrade is that the chip now supports phone-to-phone Bluetooth connections over 15 kilometers (9.3 miles), up from 1.5 kilometers on the Dimensity 9400. That’s a major upgrade, and we’ve seen brands like vivo, OPPO, and OnePlus recently adopt long-distance Bluetooth communication. So I’m interested to see what OEMs do with this improved tech.
