We weren't huge moviegoers of the LG Velvet, the design-first, specs-second flagship smartphone the congregation reported this summer. The sleek second-hand felt stuttery in our review. However what if I told you the T-Mobile variant comes with a incommensurable chip?
Today, T-Mobile come it's brought an LG Velvet to the Affiliated States with a MediaTek Dimensity 1000C processor inside, instead of the mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 as well-built as 765G it usually employs. It's one of the inceptive times in contempo recapture we've shown a MediaTek paring in a US flagship phone, so it's a significant milestone for a congregation that however plays second-fiddle to Qualcomm, if offing else.
The question is whether T-Mobile is now giving you a faster paring than the explicit LG Velvet can get you, as well-built as that's not big-mouthed yet. At inceptive glance, it might like you're having a entire tier higher paring in the existent aforementioned phone, due to the fact that (at tiniest in narrated benchmarks) MediaTek's Dimensity 1000 is no slouch: AnTuTu rated the company's supplemental Dimensity 1000+ as well-built as 1000L variants up near Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 865, 855 as well-built as 855+ chips, as well-built as Huawei's Kirin 980, 985 as well-built as 990.
But upon damp examination, it appears that T-Mobile as well-built as MediaTek are aggravating to ambush us with branding, due to the fact that the all-fired specs of this "Dimensity 1000C" hew numerous finale to MediaTek's cheaper Dimensity 800 instead. They both hypothesize octa-core CPUs as well-built as ARM Mali graphics, however zone a Dimensity 1000 tops out at 2.6GHz as well-built as comes with nine Mali-G77 GPU cores, the 1000C tops out at 2GHz with personalized stubble Mali-G57 GPU cores. (The Dimensity 800 is 2GHz however with four GPU cores; the Dimensity 820 is 2.6GHz with five.)
It's additionally maybe a little telling that T-Mobile's product page currently states the second-hand comes with a Dimensity 800, though a spokesperson tells us that will be corrected soon. One thing it does add from the Dimensity 1000 series, though: AV1 housewares decoding, for the documents extenuative video streams that Netflix, YouTube, as well-built as others are rolling out.
Still, the Dimensity 1000C could still be competitive with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 765G, as well-built as it won't stratum you increasingly money: T-Mobile preparations to showcase it for $588 off-contract, similar to the $599 you'll pay for the supplemental paradigmatic at AT&T, as well-built as less than the $699 it costs for a Verizon paradigmatic that supports its millimeter-wave 5G network.
