Dimensity 9600 reaches India on 2 nm, and the Oppo Find X10 Pro Max will be the first local phone

MediaTek brought the Dimensity 9600 to the Indian market on October 6, 2026, with the Dimensity 9600 Pro and the Dimensity 9600M. The Oppo Find X10 Pro Max will be the first phone in India with the 9600 Pro, according to India Today. The first high-end phones with both chips are expected this quarter.

This is not the global unveiling. Reuters already reported the Taipei presentation on September 15, 2026, when MediaTek described the 9600 Pro as its first smartphone chip built on TSMC’s 2-nanometer process. The 9600M, aimed at a broader flagship band, uses the 3 nm node. The October 6 step is the official arrival in India and the naming of the first local handset.

What MediaTek claims for the Pro

The Dimensity 9600 Pro uses a 2+3+3 all-big-core layout, with two C2-Ultra cores up to 4.55 GHz. The company claims up to 17% higher single-core and 15% higher multi-core performance versus the previous generation. Material from the India launch also cites up to 61% lower multi-core power use, a dual NPU, the Imagiq 1290 ISP, and 4K video at 240 fps. Those figures are manufacturer claims, without an independent review battery published alongside the event.

At the September unveiling, MediaTek said the NPU improved prompt processing by 51% before a model starts generating a response, without detailing the test. Direct comparisons with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, also on TSMC 2 nm, already circulate in spec sheets, but final-device benchmarks have not settled the score.

Why the India debut matters

India is one of the largest Android markets, and the Find X10 Pro Max is a showcase for MediaTek’s 2 nm outside China. The move also marks the contest with Qualcomm in the premium segment, where on-device AI and chip margins matter more than entry-level volume.

What is not settled yet is the exact India date for the Find X10 — India Today says “weeks” — the price, or whether the 9600M lands in another Oppo model or in brands such as Xiaomi and vivo in the same quarter.
