Vivo and Oppo have officially confirmed that their upcoming flagship camera phones will be powered by MediaTek's newly launched Dimensity 9600 Pro chip.
The announcements came shortly after the chipset went official, with both brands revealing key details about their respective devices.
Vivo X500 Pro Max: Chip-Level Display and Video Enhancements
Vivo shared a joint poster with MediaTek highlighting their collaboration on the Dimensity 9600 Pro, which features a dual super-large-core CPU design.
The two companies worked together on chip-level AP Demura 2.0 correction, a feature Vivo says reduces uneven brightness across the display at the chip level.
This technology is linked to the 2K display already confirmed for the Vivo X500 Pro Max.
The chip also supports AP-level multi-frame motion smear compensation, designed to reduce blur when shooting fast-moving subjects.
Additionally, the X500 series gets professional Log video support built into the chip, allowing 4K video at 120fps with 10-bit Log output directly from the phone without an external recorder.
Vivo will combine the Dimensity 9600 Pro with its own Blueprint imaging chip, enabling 4K Dolby Vision portrait video, which the company describes as an industry first.
Vivo is also introducing XDZ, a new high-magnification video upscaling technology.
The company says the X500 Pro series will be the first phones globally to use the Dimensity 9600 Pro, though that lead will last only briefly as the phones launch on September 21.
Oppo Find X10 Pro Max: Software Features and Massive Battery
Oppo's Find X10 Pro Max will also use the 2nm Dimensity 9600 Pro, but Oppo is adding its own software features around the chip.
The phone has a new-generation Tide Engine that can dynamically move resources between high-frame-rate gaming and on-device AI tasks.
Oppo is also introducing its Falcon Scheduler for handling demanding camera features and heavy performance loads at the same time.
Oppo says this allows the Find X10 Pro Max to record 4K video at 60fps for extended periods while also supporting up to eight hours of full-frame-rate gaming in demanding titles.
The Find X10 Pro Max also comes with an 8,000mAh Glacier Battery with an energy density of 867Wh/L.
It uses Oppo's self-developed spherical silicon-carbon technology, along with the company's battery health algorithms and charging technology.
Oppo says the battery is designed to maintain good health for up to five years, helping reduce the long-term degradation that can affect large-capacity batteries.
The two phones are launching just a day apart: the Vivo X500 series arrives on September 21, followed by the Oppo Find X10 lineup on September 22.
