What is MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro?

Phones must fit the work of a whole computer into one small device, and the way chip designers handle this is the system on a chip (SoC), which combines most or all key components of a computer onto a single microchip. That integration cuts the need for separate parts, helping power efficiency and simplifying device design. The MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro is a smartphone SoC, listed by MediaTek in its flagship Dimensity 9000 family. The maker describes it as built on a 2nm process node (the manufacturing technology used to make the chip), with an eight-core processor and neural processing units (processors for AI workloads) designed to run AI features on the phone itself. MediaTek announced it on 15 September 2026.
