The release of MediaTek’s next flagship chipset, the Dimensity 9500, is just around the corner. While Qualcomm is gearing up to unveil the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 in late September, it seems MediaTek has big plans to steal the spotlight by introducing its own next-gen chip even earlier. 
The news comes from a well-known Chinese leaker, Digital Chat Station, who shared the details on Weibo.
According to the rumor, Chinese smartphone manufacturers are planning to launch their new flagship devices soon after the chip’s debut, with some expected to be unveiled by the end of September. This will undoubtedly make September a packed month for mobile enthusiasts, especially with Apple set to release its new iPhones around the same time.
For many Android brands, the timeline is quite tight. Their current flagship devices, which have been on the market for less than a year (in China at least), will soon face replacement by their successors. The question remains: how will consumers react to such a quick turnover? Only time will tell.

Let’s hope MediaTek doesn’t rush this too much, we need more stability in these chips, not just speed
Only in China, where they replace phones like clockwork. I’m just trying to enjoy mine lol
I’m not even done enjoying my current phone and now it’s outdated already smh
September’s gonna be lit with all these releases! iPhone, Snapdragon, and MediaTek? What a month!
Would be nice if they focused on actual battery life improvements instead of just new chips every 6 months
Can’t wait for the Dimensity 9500, but let’s see if it really outperforms the Snapdragon Elite 2!
