MediaTek has unveiled its latest 5G smartphone chipset in the United States. The MediaTek Dimensity 1000C joins the rank of Dimensity chipsets that support 5G networks. However, it also happens to be the chipset that will be inside the first MediaTek powered 5G phone in the US. The new processor will be on-board the new LG Velvet on T-Mobile’s network in the country.

“Compared to other parts of the world, consumers in the U.S. haven’t had much choice on the chipset side when it comes to 5G smartphones,” said Dr. Yenchi Lee, Deputy General Manager of MediaTek’s Wireless Communications Business Unit. “MediaTek is focused on giving consumers more options and expanding access to 5G devices so that everyone can enjoy the premium features and speeds that are defining the next era of mobile computing.”
