The upcoming MediaTek Dimensity 9500 is set to be announced earlier than Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, according to a rumor from Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station. This move by MediaTek will likely intensify the competition between the two chipset manufacturers, with Chinese smartphone makers expected to quickly unveil their next-gen flagship devices following the chip's announcement. September is shaping up to be a busy month in the mobile world, with Apple's new iPhones also set to be revealed around the same time.
Some Android brands may see their current flagship devices being overshadowed by the imminent launch of their successors, raising questions about consumer response to such rapid product cycles. It remains to be seen how the market will react to this anticipated wave of new flagship devices.
