One more aspect where a mobile processor must shine, especially in today’s world, is computational photography and video. There is a sort of arms race going on in that respect and with the Dimensity 9300, Mediatek seems to be going for a kill. There is support for always-on HDR at 4K 60p, “real-time bokeh tracking” at 4K 30fps, AI processing on RAW photos and videos and support for the new Ultra HDR format in Android 14.
All in all, it looks like Mediatek has a winner in the Dimensity 9300 processor, atleast on paper. It will still be a while until there is a proper comparison test run between itself, Snapdragon and Google’s Tensor Chipset to see who the real boss is. Until then, stay tuned for more.
