Usual Mediatek dominate low price phones and their marketshare drop the higher you go.
The reason Mediatek has that marketshare is their deal with Samsung, look what soc Samsung use then those soc are one which are dominating.

200-350$ phones also on 4nm and pretty good antutu

I didn't expect less from the internet.

Anonymous, 12 May 2026Wouldn't it then require a comparison to something equivalent on the other side? Both 8s gen 4 and D8400/8500 have similar perfomance tier, but 8s gen 4 edge D8xxx series by having X core. That's why in benchmarks you see 8s gen 4 having advantage in single core perfomance. It also offer better GPU.
So it's not true that Qualcomm concede upper midrange market to Mediatek and it's weird statement to make if you follow tech news.

Pumpino, 11 May 2026MediaTek's naming scheme is certainly more straight forward than Qualcomm's.Not really. Take a good look at the Helio G90 series or the Dimensity 6000/7000 lineup.

But **ALL** Mediatek 8000 series can do AV1This.
It is baffling that Qualscam decided that midrange chip still do not deserve AV1 hardware support in 2026. I mean, it's royalti free! They don't even need to pay any cent to use it...

Dimensity 8000 never matches Qualcomm 7+ or 8s so I don't know what you mean by "upper mid range".
"Big upgrade" is just with respect to 8500, which literally uses the very same die of 8400.
