MediaTek Dimensity 7030 phones: benchmarks, gaming & which to buy
What the MediaTek Dimensity 7030 delivers in real phones: benchmark scores, gaming performance, battery efficiency and the phones that ship with it.
What the Dimensity 7030 is
MediaTek's 2023 midrange chip — the quiet workhorse behind several of that year's best-value big-battery phones. It ranks #56 of 79 in our catalog (AnTuTu about 765K, Geekbench 6 near 1,040 single-core and 2,470 multi-core). Full scores on the Dimensity 7030 page.
Everyday and gaming performance
About 11/100 on our gaming scale — casual gaming and flawless everyday use, in line with the Snapdragon 6-class rather than anything faster. Efficiency is the strong suit: in phones with 5,000 mAh-class batteries it delivers genuinely long runtimes, which is the reason to pick it over nominally quicker chips.
Phones that ship with it
| Phone | Year | Used / Launch |
|---|---|---|
| Motorola Edge (2023) | 2023 | $199 / $499 |
| Motorola Edge 40 Neo | 2023 | $299 / $399 |
Buying advice
The Motorola Edge (2023) near $199 is one of the cleanest value plays on the used market — our Edge (2023) review covers the 144 Hz display and near-stock Android, and at 60% off launch it undercuts everything comparable. The Edge 40 Neo review covers the compact, design-led sibling near $299. Inside MediaTek's own ladder, the Dimensity 7300 guide is the newer, faster rung worth the stretch.
