MediaTek Dimensity 1080 takeover

MediaTek Dimensity 1080 has quickly become one of the most popular choices, if not the most popular SoC choice, for smartphone makers with handsets in the mid-price range. Having MediaTek Dimensity 1080 chipset at the helm has helped these handsets to deliver solid performance. With an octa-core processor clocked at up to 2.6GHz, the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 is capable of handling any task that you can possibly throw at it.
