A number of devices have been either leaked or officially teased as launching with the new MediaTek chip, the Dimensity 9400 Plus. The company has since officially unveiled its new top-fo-the line SoC, with a few phones even launching alongside it.
Like the base model, the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 Plus runs an All Big Core design, consisting of one Arm Cortex-X925, three Cortex-X4 and four Cortex-A720 cores. That first core has been clocked up from 3.62GHz to 3.73GHz to justify the Plus in its name. In the same vein, the chip runs the familiar NPU 890, but with additional support for Speculative Decoding+ (SpD+) to boost agentic AI performance by 20%.
The most impressive improvement to the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 Plus though involves Bluetooth. With the new chip, the company boasts a connectivity range of up to 10km. Of course, this is only specifically for direct phone-to-phone connections, and requires “direct line-of-sight”. For your average connections, like to TWS buds, you definitely won’t be getting the full 10km. For what it’s worth, this is done via Bluetooth 6, with the chipset also supporting WiFi 7 tri-band concurrency with five streams.
As mentioned, there already are phones that launched together with the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 Plus, such as the OPPO Find X8 Ultra and X8s. More are set to launch within the month, such as the realme GT 7.
