We analyzed the performance of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and MediaTek Dimensity 8100 processors with Sony IMX766 sensor.
Two major manufacturers of mobile processors today Qualcomm and MediaTekAs their chipsets are present 90% Android smartphones in the market.
One of the main questions when we consider buying a terminal with a Qualcomm or MediaTek processor Which of them takes better pictures? And now we can answer this question thanks to a recent video from our colleagues at Urban Techno, which we put you below this line, where they compare two terminals of the same brand, Realme GT2 Pro and Realme GT Neo 3. has the same main photographic sensor, Sony IMX766But with different chipsets, since The first of these has a Qualcomm processor and the second a MediaTek.
Find out which processor brand produces better images: Qualcomm or MediaTek.
Which processors make better pictures: Qualcomm or MediaTek?
If we analyze the technical characteristics of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and the Dimensity 8100, we verify that the ISP, a processor integrated in the camera that is in charge of photograph processing, is better for the first than the second, since Qualcomm’s chipset has 18-bit ISP and MediaTek’s 14-bit ISP. Similarly, we are also able to verify that, at the power level, Both processors are very similarAs you can see in the screenshot we have placed you under this line.
Power comparison between Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Dimensity 8100.
On this basis, we will now analyze Which of the two processors takes better pictures?.
Thus, starting with daytime photographs, the Realme GT Neo 3, equipped with Dimensity 8100, achieves results with Greater sharpness and higher quality of detailWhile Realme GT 2 Pro equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 offers us some photographs Good contrast, good HDR and good dynamic range. As a result, when we zoomed in on a photo, the one we took with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 looked more pixelated than the one made with the Dimension 8100.

Both terminals have a mode that allows us to take photos with their 50-megapixel main sensors, and in this regard, the photos we took with the Qualcomm processor A good dynamic range and a good interpretation of scene colors Rather than carrying a MediaTek chipset.
For its part, when night falls, the results we get with both processors are pretty similar, Both in terms of picture quality and sound levels. In this section, we must highlight that, regarding automatic night mode, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 It triggers more often and more consistently than dimension 8100.

When it comes to video recording, we have already started to see more differences between the two processors, since Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 allows us Record clips in 8K quality And the dimension is limited to 8100 4K and 60 fps.
Accurately recording video in 4K at 60 fps, the Qualcomm processor achieves Stabilize the clip better than the MediaTekSince in addition to optical stabilization Implements a digital cropA feature that the Dimension 8100 does not have
If we lower the resolution to 1080p at 60fps, the results are very similar, although videos shot with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 have a better dynamic range and a more realistic color rendition made with the Dimension 8100.
Finally, the realme GT 2 Pro has videos recorded at night in 4K at 60fps Higher image quality and better stabilityThanks mostly to digital stabilization, clips shot with the Realme GT Neo 3 at 1080p at 60fps are even better, as the Dimension 8100 manages. Light up dark areas without creating noise in the video.
