Vivo has announced the S9 5G, alongside its more budget S9e 5G sibling. The main event here has the new, 6nm Dimensity 1100 SoC, which is now packaged in a distinctly iPhone 12-like design, complete with a notch for a dual selfie camera. It can be pre-ordered from now in China, starting at ~US$464 for an 8GB RAM base model.

Today (March 3, 2021) is a day on which Meizu kicked the major Android phone launch event season in China off with its flagship 18 series. Vivo is another company that has gone in a slightly different way with the S9. This phone has, in accordance with its recent leaks, gone with the Dimensity 1100 processor instead.

MediaTek has launched two new Dimensity-branded chipsets, the Dimensity 1200 and Dimensity 1100. The former is MediaTek's latest ARM Cortex-A78-powered flagship offering which performs on par with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, while the latter is a slightly more scaled-down version. The MediaTek Dimensity 1200 is expected to debut alongside a Realme smartphone soon.

Hot on the heels on Qualcomm unveiling the Snapdragon 870, Taiwanese chipmaker has taken the opportunity to launch its new offerings: the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 and Dimensity 1100. Both chipsets are manufactured on TSMC's 6nm process node. We've heard quite a bit about the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 and Dimensity 1100, with the former managing to outclass last year's Qualcomm Snapdragon 865. The latter showed up in a recent leak too, but without any accompanying performance metrics.
