• MediaTek has launched the Dimensity CX C10 Max featuring a 3nm process.
• The Dimensity CX C10 Max will power an upcoming Lenovo Googlebook, although it will not be the already announced 15-inch Lenovo Googlebook powered by Intel.
• The new chipset shares much of its architecture with MediaTek’s Kompanio Ultra 910, including the CPU configuration, NPU 890 and Immortalis-G925 MC11 GPU.

MediaTek has introduced the Dimensity CX C10 Max, its first laptop processor under the new Dimensity Compute Experiences (CX) family. The chipset has been designed for the next generation of AI-focused Googlebook devices and is positioned as the flagship model in the new range.

The launch comes as Google’s new Googlebook platform enters the market with initial devices powered by Intel and Qualcomm processors. MediaTek has confirmed that its chipset will feature in an upcoming Lenovo Googlebook, giving the platform another processor option.

MediaTek Dimensity CX C10 Max Specifications

The Dimensity CX C10 Max is manufactured using a 3nm process and uses an eight-core All Big Core CPU configuration. It combines one Arm Cortex-X925 core, three Cortex-X4 cores and four Cortex-A720 cores.

The chipset also includes an 11-core Arm Immortalis-G925 MC11 GPU and MediaTek’s NPU 890, which can deliver up to 55 TOPS of AI processing performance. MediaTek says the NPU is designed to support Gemini Intelligence and on-device agentic AI features.

— MediaTek (@MediaTek) September 22, 2026

The Dimensity CX C10 Max has several similarities with MediaTek’s Kompanio Ultra 910, which has been used in premium Chromebook Plus devices.

Both chips use the same eight-core CPU configuration, Immortalis-G925 MC11 GPU and NPU 890. According to Tom’s Hardware, the C10 Max increases the peak Cortex-X925 clock speed from 3.62GHz to 3.73GHz, while memory speeds rise from 8,533Mbps to 9,600Mbps. The advertised NPU performance also increases from 50 TOPS to 55 TOPS.

This means the Dimensity CX C10 Max appears to be an evolution of the existing Kompanio Ultra platform rather than an entirely different architecture. The comparison is based on the specifications reported for both platforms.

Dimensity CX C10 Max Will Debut in an Upcoming Lenovo Googlebook

MediaTek has confirmed that the Dimensity CX C10 Max will debut in an upcoming Lenovo Googlebook. However, the company has not revealed the exact model name, pricing or launch date yet.

Importantly, this is not the 15-inch Lenovo Googlebook announced as part of the initial Googlebook lineup, which uses an Intel processor.

There is speculation that the MediaTek-powered device could be related to Lenovo’s previously leaked Googlebook tablet or detachable device, but this has not been officially confirmed by MediaTek or Lenovo.

OriginOS 7 Brings Major Multitasking Upgrades

One of the major productivity additions is Origin Workbench, which Vivo previously introduced on select foldable smartphones and tablets.

Origin Workbench creates a desktop-style workspace where users can keep up to five active applications on a single screen. This can be useful for scenarios such as editing video while checking notes, browsing references and messaging at the same time.

The feature also supports cross-app drag and drop, although Vivo notes that availability depends on the device, region and app compatibility. The company says Origin Workbench is currently supported on select models with 12GB RAM or more.

Origin Smooth Engine Promises Faster, Smoother Performance

OriginOS 7 introduces the next-generation Origin Smooth Engine, which redesigns graphics computation, memory management and system scheduling.

Its Ultra-Core Computing system dynamically allocates processing resources depending on workload, including demanding scenarios such as gaming and heavy multitasking.

Vivo claims that OriginOS 7 delivers 10% faster app cold starts and an 11% improvement in app page switching as compared to OriginOS 6. The company also says Memory Fusion improves memory reclamation by 60% and can free up to 25GB of storage on a 256GB device.

The updated Dual Rendering system is claimed to improve rendering efficiency by 14.4%, helping with system animations and graphics.

Jovi AI Becomes a Personal Cross Device Agent

A major addition to OriginOS 7 is Jovi, which Vivo describes as a cross-device personal AI agent.

Through Vivo Office Kit, Jovi can coordinate tasks between a Vivo smartphone and connected computers. For example, Vivo says users can ask Jovi to retrieve a spreadsheet from a computer, summarise its figures and send the key information back to the phone.

Jovi can also handle scheduled tasks, such as preparing weekly reports or organising files at specified intervals.

Another feature is Snap Note, which can convert photos of whiteboards, handwritten notes and presentation slides into editable, formatted documents.

For security, Jovi Security records autonomous actions performed by the AI agent. Vivo says users must authorise key actions before they are completed.

OriginOS 7 Connects Vivo Phones With Apple Devices

OriginOS 7 also expands connectivity beyond the Vivo and iQOO ecosystem. Compatible Apple Watch models can be paired with Vivo and iQOO smartphones to display notifications and synchronise workout and health data with Origin Health. AirPods users can also view battery information through Origin Island, with Spatial Audio supported on compatible devices.

Through Vivo Office Kit, users can also hand off tasks, synchronise notes and transfer files between Vivo smartphones and iPad, Mac and Windows devices.

Vivo has additionally added iCloud integration, allowing users to browse photos and files stored in iCloud directly through Vivo File Manager. Availability of these features can vary by device, region and software version.

Highlights

• Vivo S60t with model V2620A listed on China Telecom.
• It reveals 7,200mAh battery, Android 17, triple rear cameras featuring 50MP+50MP+8MP and 50MP front camera.
• Design resembles Vivo V80 teasers and reports suggests S60t could launch globally as Vivo V80.

Vivo Smartphone carrying the model number V2620A has been listed in China Telecom’s product database. The same model number had earlier appeared on the Google Play Supported Devices List with the Vivo S60t name. However, its specifications have led to speculation that Vivo could launch this phone in the global market under the V80 name. Here’s more on what we know so far.

Vivo S60t Spotted On China Telecom

According to the details shared in a recent 91Mobiles report, the China Telecom listing gives the Vivo S60t a 7,200mAh battery, which stands out as one of its key specifications. For comparison, the Vivo V70 comes with a 6,500mAh battery.

This capacity is also in line with an earlier report about the Vivo V80, which claimed that the upcoming V-series phone would feature a 7,200mAh battery. This makes the S60t-V80 connection more interesting, although Vivo has not officially confirmed that the two phones are the same device.

The listing also mentions Android 17, but the exact software branding for the phone has not been confirmed yet.

The phone shown in the China Telecom listing has a design that looks similar to the Vivo V80 teasers. It features a centred punch-hole cutout on the front, while the rear panel carries a large camera island.

The camera module includes two large circular rings along with a smaller sensor and flash. Vivo is expected to offer the S60t in Starry Sea, Midsummer Night and Early Summer Green colours.

Vivo S60t – What Else We Know So Far?

China Telecom has listed the phone three configurations, 8GB + 128GB, 12GB + 256GB and 12GB + 512GB.

For photography, the phone is listed with a 50MP front camera. At the back, it reportedly has a triple-camera setup comprising a 50MP + 50MP + 8MP combination.

The chipset information provides another possible link to the Vivo V80. The V80 has already appeared on Geekbench with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor, which is also the chipset used by its predecessor. That Geekbench appearance showed the V80 with 8GB of RAM. The China Telecom listing, however, suggests Vivo could offer the phone in higher-memory versions as well including 12GB RAM configurations.

The S60t measures 157.52 x 74.33 x 7.89mm and weighs 206 grams.

Vivo has already started teasing the V80 in India highlighting its camera capabilities, AI features, low-light photography improvements and display experience. Vivo has also confirmed that the phone will have the biggest battery in a V-series model.

For now, Vivo has not confirmed that the S60t will be launched globally as the V80.

Vivo X500 Ultra Launch Expected by March or April

Speaking at the post-conference session held after the Vivo X500 series launch, Huang Tao, Vice President and Vice President of Product at Vivo revealed the launch timeline of the upcoming X500 Ultra. According to the executive, Vivo plans to introduce the Vivo X500 Ultra in China by March or April next year.

The brand has not yet revealed whether the flagship will also be launched in international markets.

Previous reports have hinted that Vivo could expand the X500 series with the X500e, X500 FE and X500 Ultra in the future.

As per reports, X500 Ultra is expected to sit at the top of the X500 lineup. As of now, there is no official information about the launch of the Vivo X500e or X500 FE.

What We Know About Vivo X500 Ultra So Far?

The Vivo X500 Ultra is expected to follow the approach of the Vivo X300 Ultra with a strong focus on photography and content creation. A previous leak by Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station claimed that Vivo was testing three different 200-megapixel telephoto sensors for the upcoming flagship.

The reported options include sensors measuring 1/1.12-inch, 1/1.3-inch and 1/1.4-inch. The larger 1/1.12-inch sensor could offer a more aggressive approach to telephoto photography, while the 1/1.3-inch and 1/1.4-inch options were reportedly being considered as more balanced solutions. However, it is not yet known which of these sensors Vivo will use in the final retail version.

The company is also said to be testing two different 35mm main camera setups. One configuration reportedly uses a 50-megapixel 1/1.28-inch LOFIC sensor with optical image stabilisation and a micro-gimbal lens system designed to provide a wide stabilisation angle. The second option is said to feature a larger 200-megapixel 1/1.12-inch LOFIC sensor.

According to the current rumours, the flagship could be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset. If this information is accurate, the X500 Ultra could offer a noticeable performance step up from the other X500 series models.

More information about the Vivo X500 Ultra including its final camera setup and availability is expected to emerge as its launch window gets closer.
