Elsewhere, the Dimensity 900 has a HDR-native ISP and incorporated hardware-accelerated 4K HDR video recording engine, and offers support for up to 108MP sensors and up to four concurrent cameras. It allows for HDR10+ video playback and has AI processing integration with its camera with INT8, INT16, and FP16 capabilities.

Additionally, the phone comes with an integrated 5G New Radio sub-6GHz modem with carrier aggregation and support for up to 120MHz of bandwidth. Other listed features include dual-SIM 5G standby function, 5G SA/NSA networking, dual-SIM VoNR voice services, and integrated 2x2 MIMO Wi-Fi 6 connection, Bluetooth 5.2, and GNSS.

MediaTek says that devices with the Dimensity 900 are “expected to launch” globally in Q2 2021.
