• HyperEngine Connectivity Enhancements – predicts WiFi & LTE concurrency in 13ms, and defers calls while gaming w/o dropping data connection
• VoW (voice on wakeup) – lowers the power consumption for voice assistants
• Multi-Camera Photography – allows systems to use different cameras with the help of hardware accelerators such as camera control unit, a dedicated depth engine, EIS, and Rolling Shutter Compensation
• MediaTek Neuro Pilot – boosts AI-Camera performance for tasks like object recognition, smart photo albums, scene detection, and more
• Secure ISP – adds a new layer of security for facial recognition
• Dual 4G VoLTE & improved WiFi
