MediaTek announces the Dimensity 720 - another 5G chipset for the masses
MediaTek announces yet another 5G-enabled chipset, the Dimensity 720, and this one goes even lower in the price bracket. It's also the first from the company in the Dimensity 700-series.
It's built on the 7nm manufacturing process and employs an octa-core CPU that consists of 2x Cortex-A76 cores and 6x Cortex-A55 cores coupled with a Mali-G57 MC3 GPU. The chipset can be paired with LPDRR4X RAM and UFS 2.1 storage.
As far as 5G capabilities go, the mid-tier chip supports the sub-6GHz standard. To address the relatively higher power consumption of 5G, MediaTek is counting on the so-called 5G UltraSave technology to save on some juice.
Other notable features include 90Hz, HDR10+ display support, Bluetooth 5.1, advanced APU for machine learning, 64MP cameras or 20MP+16MP dual camеra configurations. Of course, 4K recording is also possible.
MediaTek says that the first Dimensity 720-powered smartphones will arrive in the following months and given the pricing of the Dimensity 820 phones right now of around $250, we suspect the 720 will bring the price even lower.

not sure that GPU department is better in Helio G90T just remember that G57 is just G77 with lower core count and G77 deliveres 40% more performance than G76

Yes u are right anf dimensity 720 will replace g90t for sure.And their is degradation of gpu i think that is for controlling the heat production cause g90t heat a more than other processors while gaming.If it can compete with the sd730 and sd730g it ...

The only aspects where Dimensity 720 is better than G90T are the 7nm process making it more efficient and 5g connectivity. Otherwise it's pretty much the same, and G90T has better ARM Mali G76MC4 graphics compared to the G57MC3.
