Dimensity 7350 Pro vs Dimensity 7200 Pro Benchmark Comparison

In Short
  • The MediaTek Dimensity 7350 is the newer midrange processor from the company making its debut with the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus.
  • It is similar to the older Dimensity 7200 Pro with a minor bump in CPU clock speed and GPU performance.
  • The 7350 Pro also appears to do better in AI-related tasks than the 7200 Pro.

The Nothing Phone (2a) Plus (review) has been launched, and it comes with a few noteworthy upgrades. Its main highlight is the new MediaTek Dimensity 7350 Pro 5G processor. The Phone (2a) Plus will be the first phone to come with the new chipset globally. But how does it fare against the Dimensity 7200 Pro from the original Nothing Phone (2a)? To help you understand the difference in performance, here’s our Dimensity 7350 Pro vs Dimensity 7200 Pro comparison.

Dimensity 7350 Pro vs Dimensity 7200 Pro: Specs Overview

Before checking the benchmarks, let’s take a quick look at the spec sheet of the two chipsets from MediaTek.

Single-core1,1951,114
Multi-core2,6222,561
Phone 2a Plus vs Phone 2a Geekbench

To begin with, we ran the Geekbench 6 CPU benchmark on both the devices equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 7350 Pro and Dimensity 7200 Pro. As you can see from the results, the Dimensity 7350 Pro did better in both departments as it achieved a score of 1195 in single-core and 2622 in multi-core. The 7200 Pro wasn’t far behind with 1114 in single-core and 2561 in multi-core.

The higher-clocked cores of the 7350 Pro at 3.0 GHz do help with better results than last year’s 7200 Pro, which has a high CPU frequency of 2.8 GHz. Though there isn’t a major jump in performance as you might think given the naming scheme.

Dimensity 7350 Pro vs Dimensity 7200 Pro: CPU Throttling Test

Phone 2a Plus vs Phone 2a CPU Throttling

Next, we ran a standard 15-minute CPU throttling test, and here, the results were essentially the same. Both the Dimensity 7350 Pro and the Dimensity 7200 Pro throttled down to 91% of their maximum efficiency. Just to make sure, we ran the test multiple times and the results came out pretty similar every time.

Though the 7350 Pro executed a few more instructions than the older 7200 Pro, they both maintained sustainable performance, which is quite good. So in terms of efficiency and consistent performance, there is no difference between the two, bringing us to a tie.

AnTuTu Benchmark Score

AnTuTu BenchmarkMediaTek Dimensity 7350 ProMediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro
AnTuTu Score7,74,6867,18,102
CPU2,27,1382,22,490
GPU2,14,5261,78,291
Memory1,55,9431,46,446
UX1,77,0791,70,875

In AnTuTu benchmarks, the Dimensity 7350 Pro scored a total of 774686 whereas the 7200 Pro came second with a score of 718102. This isn’t a huge gap and only a difference of about 10% as the company claims. Now, both the processors are pretty neck to neck in the CPU section, with the 7350 Pro performing a bit better.

However, the major difference is in the GPU, as the 7350 Pro’s Mali-G610 MC4 GPU scores almost 30% better than the 7200 Pro. This is surprising as both the chipsets come with the same GPU. The one on the 7350 is likely clocked higher. Though, the difference becomes almost negligible in the memory and UX regions.

Best loop score1,3771,155
Lowest loop score1,3371,145
Stability97.1%99.1%

To test out the performance of the GPU, we ran the 3D Mark Wildlife Extreme Stress test. The MediaTek Dimensity 7350 Pro had the highest best loop score at 1,377 and the lowest loop score of 1337 with a stability of 97.1%. On the other hand, Dimensity 7200 Pro had a best loop score of 1155 coupled with a lowest loop score of 1145 with a stability of 99.1%.

As we saw with Antutu, the GPU again performed better in this benchmark. This means that the newer processor should be slightly better at handling games. Given these are midrange processors, we didn’t perform the Solar Bay tests as they don’t support ray tracing.

AITuTu Benchmark

AITuTu Score88,47586,167

To test the AI performance, we ran the AITuTu benchmark. The Dimensity 7350 Pro scored 88,475 while the Dimensity 7200 Pro only managed to get 86167. The disparity in results could be because the 7350 Pro comes with the newer MediaTek 657 NPU. In comparison to the 650 that comes with the 7200 Pro.

This shows that MediaTek’s latest midrange processor will perform better when handling AI-related tasks. But again, there’s not a very significant jump from the previous chipset.

Dimensity 7350 Pro vs Dimensity 7200 Pro: Which One Is More Powerful?

So overall, the new Dimensity 7350 Pro (benchmarks) does show improvements in some areas like the CPU, GPU, and AI performance. It does have a step up above last year’s Dimensity 7200 Pro, especially given how well the GPU does this time around. However, it is not a massive leap forward, but just a long step ahead.

They are pretty close in most areas and in some cases perform identically. Still, if you had to pick one, then go with the phone that comes with the latest Dimensity 7350 Pro. If you’re still confused about which (2a) model to buy, you can check out our Phone (2a) Plus vs Phone (2a) comparison to get a better idea.
