This is the first phone to use MediaTek’s new all big core Dimensity 8400 | Infinium-tech

MediaTek just unveiled the Dimensity 8400 today. It’s the world’s first upper-midrange Android chipset with a completely big-core CPU, emulating the strategy that made its debut in the high-end last year with the Dimensity 9300.

Following the announcement of the chip, Redmi proudly claimed that the Redmi Turbo 4 will be the first phone to be powered by the new SoC. Will use device Dimensity 8400-extremely Platform actually, because the Xiaomi brand likes to customize MediaTek chips with an additional “Ultra” suffix.

The Redmi Turbo 4 is promised to debut in 2025, so it should become fully official in early January. Before that, the brand will start taking blind pre-reservations from today.

The Redmi Turbo 4 will launch in China, but it will be rebranded as the Poco F7 or Poco X7 Pro internationally – rumors have been a bit contradictory on this topic recently. The good news is that, no matter what name Poco wants to use for it, we’ll be getting this upper-medium performance beast outside of China.

Thanks to all its larger core CPUs, the Dimensity 8400 will likely end the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3’s undisputed reign as king of the upper-midrange, which it has been going on for quite some time already.
