MediaTek launches new Dimensity CX C10 Max 3nm chipset for Googlebooks

0

Highlights:

  • 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.

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.

Specifications MediaTek Dimensity CX C10 Max
Process 3nm
CPU 1x Cortex-X925 + 3x Cortex-X4 + 4x Cortex-A720
CPU Clock Up to 3.73GHz
GPU Arm Immortalis-G925 MC11
NPU MediaTek NPU 890
AI Performance Up to 55 TOPS
RAM LPDDR5X, up to 9600Mbps
Storage UFS 4.0
Display Up to 4K 60Hz internal, dual 4K external
Camera ISP Imagiq 1090
Camera Support Up to 32MP
Connectivity Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0

Dimensity CX C10 Max Gets 32MP Camera Support and Wi-Fi 7

The chipset integrates MediaTek’s Imagiq 1090 ISP, which supports camera sensors of up to 32MP. It includes features such as HDR video, electronic image stabilisation, automatic zoom and sustained focus for video calls and content creation.

For connectivity, the Dimensity CX C10 Max supports Wi-Fi 7 with speeds of up to 7.3Gbps and Bluetooth 6.0. MediaTek notes that Bluetooth 6.0 support is not available on Googlebook devices at launch according to 9to5Google’s report.

Dimensity CX C10 Max vs Kompanio Ultra 910

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.

Vivo OriginOS 7 Unveiled Globally for Vivo and iQOO Smartphones: New Design, AI Features and Productivity Tools

0

Highlights:

    • OriginOS 7 is based on Android 17
    • New glass-like design adds Dynamic Glow effects
    • Origin Workbench supports up to five active apps
    • Jovi AI works as a cross-device personal agent
    • Apple Watch, AirPods and iCloud support added
    • Preview programme starts with Vivo X300 Pro and select iQOO phones

Vivo has officially unveiled OriginOS 7 for global markets, bringing its Android 17-based software to select Vivo and iQOO smartphones. The new version introduces a redesigned visual interface, expanded multitasking, performance improvements and a cross-device AI assistant called Jovi.

The OriginOS 7 Preview Programme has started in India, Thailand and Malaysia, with the Vivo X300 Pro and select iQOO devices among the first smartphones to receive the software. Vivo has also confirmed that the update will later expand to the X500 series, new X Fold models and the V series.

Vivo OriginOS 7 Global Launch: What’s New

OriginOS 7 is built on Android 17 and brings changes across the design, multitasking, performance, AI and connectivity experience.

The global rollout follows the launch of the Vivo X500 series in China, which ships with OriginOS 7. For global markets, Vivo has initially opened the Preview Programme in India, Thailand and Malaysia.

The first confirmed devices for the programme are the Vivo X300 Pro and select iQOO smartphones. Vivo has not yet provided a complete global rollout schedule for all eligible models.

OriginOS 7 Gets a New Glass-Like Visual Design

OriginOS 7 builds on the Origin Design language introduced with the previous version. The new interface adds Dynamic Glow, which makes UI elements respond to touch with bouncing, stretching and fluid movement. The effects also respond to the direction and speed of a user’s gestures.

Vivo has also introduced a glass-like translucent material with three visual profiles called Real, Natural and Soft. Users can adjust the appearance of elements such as the quick settings panel, navigation bars and buttons.

The new Origin Animation system adds Fluid Motion, Spring Animation and Seamless Interaction for more natural transitions and scrolling.

New Themes and Customisation

      • Wiggle Theme adds liquid-like movement to personal photos.
      • Glint Theme uses the phone’s gyroscope to create changing light and shadow effects.
      • StickIt lets users create layered collages using photos and Live Photos.
      • Pet Pals adds interactive companion themes that react to movement, charging, music and changes in time

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.

OriginOS 7 Preview Programme: Eligible Vivo and iQOO Phones

The OriginOS 7 Preview Programme started on September 21 in India, Thailand and Malaysia. The first confirmed devices include:

Devices OriginOS 7 Compatibility
Vivo X300 Pro Preview Programme
Select iQOO Devices Preview Programme
Vivo X500 series Coming Later
New Vivo X Fold Series Coming Later
Vivo V Series Coming Later

Vivo has not yet announced the complete rollout schedule for other Vivo and iQOO smartphones. However, speculations suggest that other Vivo flagship devices including Vivo X300 and X300 Ultra could receive the update soon.

The earbuds also feature a symmetrical design, allowing either unit to be worn on either ear while automatically adjusting the stereo channels.

The earbuds are available in black, white and purple colour options. The white and purple variants feature a pearlescent finish.

Since open-ear earbuds can allow more sound to escape, Vivo has included a Leakage-Proof Mode that uses directional audio to direct sound towards the ear canal. There is also an Adaptive Volume feature that automatically adjusts the volume according to the surrounding environment.

Vivo S60t with 7,200mAh Battery Appears on China Telecom, Global Launch Likely as Vivo V80

0

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.

The listing suggests that the phone will be available in Sky Blue, Midnight Black and Starry Sky colour options.

The Vivo Y600i is listed at 169.55mm in height, 79.20mm in width and 8.69mm in thickness, with a weight of around 229 grams.

Vivo Y600i Display Specifications

The Vivo Y600i is listed with a 6.87-inch display, making it one of the larger-screen smartphones in the Y-series lineup.

However, the China Telecom listing does not reveal the display resolution or refresh rate. These details are therefore yet to be confirmed. More information about the panel, including its technology, brightness and refresh rate, could emerge closer to the launch.

Vivo Y600i Processor, RAM and Storage

Under the hood, the Vivo Y600i is listed with Qualcomm’s SM4450 platform, which is believed to be the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset. The platform is listed with a peak clock speed of 2.2GHz.

The smartphone is expected to run Android 16 out of the box.

For memory, the China Telecom listing mentions 6GB RAM with either 128GB or 256GB storage. A separate 6GB + 256GB China Mobile edition is also listed.

Vivo Y600i Battery and Charging

Battery capacity could be one of the main highlights of the Vivo Y600i. The smartphone is listed with a large 8,000mAh battery.

The China Telecom listing does not mention the charging speed. However, the same V2617A model number previously appeared on China’s 3C certification database with support for 44W wired charging.

Vivo has not yet revealed the official price of the Y600i. The China Telecom listing confirms 6GB + 128GB and 6GB + 256GB configurations, along with a 6GB + 256GB China Mobile edition.

It can also go as low as 1 nit of minimum brightness.

Vivo is also adding ZEISS 85mm and 100mm portrait modes, while users will be able to record 4K cinematic videos on the smartphone.

The Vivo V80 will pack a 7,200mAh battery, which Vivo says is the largest battery ever used on a V-series smartphone. The battery supports 90W FlashCharge fast charging. According to Vivo, the phone can offer up to 14 hours of navigation and up to 39.5 hours of local video playback, giving users extended usage between charges.

On the software side, the Vivo V80 will run OriginOS 7 and will come with features such as Pet Pals, StickIt, Wiggle Theme and Snap Notes. Vivo is also promising long-term software support with the smartphone set to receive up to six years of security updates.

Vivo has not officially revealed the chipset powering the V80 yet. However, the smartphone was recently spotted on Geekbench, which revealed the chipset model number QTI SM7750. As per reports, it is the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC, which is the same chipset that also powers the predecessor Vivo V70.

Vivo is expected to reveal more details including the phone’s pricing and other specifications ahead of its now-confirmed October 6 launch.

The iQOO Z11 Lite 4GB/64GB variant is aimed at buyers looking for a lower entry price and primarily using the phone for calls, messaging, social media and streaming.

The 4GB RAM configurations may also be less suitable for users who frequently switch between multiple apps. Buyers looking for more memory can consider the 6GB variants, which offer higher RAM capacity and more storage options.
