MediaTek Dimensity
5G Family
Stream, broadcast, record, edit, and publish with unparalleled quality and speed
A new Dual EIS Engine enhances 4K60 HDR (HLG) video recording with more accurate camera stabilization, thanks to its 2x EIS compute capacity. Once recorded, videos can be edited and transcoded up to 30% faster than on competing platforms, reducing the time-to-live for your latest viral short.
For live streaming, the new Live Broadcast Booster improves face detection by accurately identifying the presenter’s face within the shot to selectively apply clearer, higher-quality AI enhancements, while also being 7% more power-efficient than full-scene segmentation.
