Galaxy A16 5G and MediaTek Dimensity 9400 official, Week 41 in review
Samsung unveiled the Galaxy A16 5G with a record-breaking for the segment 6 years of Android version updates and security patches. Galaxy A16 5G comes in Midnight Blue, Turquoise, and Gray colors. The phone costs €249 in its 4/128GB trim in Europe and shipments are already underway.
We saw photos of the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra's display assembly, giving us an idea of the lineup's fronts. We also saw a render of One UI 7's new control (command?) center on the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
MediaTek announced the flagship 3nm Dimensity 9400 SoC. It's built on TSMC's 3nm N3E node, has a Cortex-X925 prime core running at up to 3.63GHz, and three Cortex-X4s at 3.3GHz. The GPU is Immortalis-G925, which was announced earlier this year. It runs at 1612 MHz frequency, promising 41% performance improvement, 40% faster ray tracing performance, and 44% power savings. The AI is handled by the NPU 890, which should consume 35% less energy than its predecessor. MediaTek is already shipping Dimensity 9400 chips to OEMs. We expect to see the flagship platform in the Oppo Find X8 and vivo X200 series this month.
