Mediatek's Filogic 8000 series won two Computex Best Choice Awards at Computex 2026.

- The Filogic 8000 got the Gold Award for being the world's first cross-generation interoperable Wi‑Fi 8 chipset.

- The Filogic 8800 earned a Category Award as the High-Efficiency, AI‑Driven Wi‑Fi 8 Flagship Router solution.

What made it win? Cross-gen compatibility, it works seamlessly with Wi‑Fi 5/6/7 devices while pioneering Wi‑Fi 8.

Specs summary: Reno 16 Pro runs Mediatek Dimensity 9500s, 7000mAh battery, 100W wired charging, 200MP main camera.

It’s not released in India yet. If priced right, could it outsell Snapdragon phones for gaming and battery? What price would make it a hit in India?

Mediatek Dimensity 9500s delivers flagship-level performance while staying cooler and more power-efficient in everyday use. It handles gaming with steady frame rates and avoids the high thermal throttling. Mediatek’s NPU and imaging improvements work well for common AI and camera tasks.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is present in many phones and competes at the high end with on paper specs, but real-world experience is disappointing with heating issues even after paying high prices. Phones with the Dimensity 9500s often offer better value, giving flagship features at lower prices.

So, What would be your choice?

The Mediatek Dimensity 9500s has Mediatek’s NPU 990 chip, which doubles AI compute power. It can generate 4K images, run 3B parameter language models 100% faster, and process long text.

The main thing is that it cuts power use by 33–56% during AI tasks. If you care about on-device AI, this chipset punches above its weight.
