After MediaTek’s success with the Helio X10, it’s the P10 that the tech world is waiting for. According to reports, it isn’t just the buyers that are lining up to get a taste of the new MediaTek chipset, but also phone makers.
Reports suggest that over 100 MediaTek Helio P10-powered models are in line to see a 2016 launch. China’s ‘export brands’ Ecoo, Elephone and Ulefone are among the list of 50+ companies that are believed to be working on the phones.
Gizchina News of the week
MediaTek announced the Helio P10 aka the MediaTek MT6755 late last year. Considering that over 50 vendors have already signed up for the SoC, MediaTek would be happy of their efforts.
Besides the aforementioned brands, ones such as Meizu, Lenovo and household names in Sony and HTC too are reportedly queuing up to get hold of batches of the MT6755.
The Helio P10 has a 28nm manufacturing process, and with an MP2 GPU Mali T860 combines and octa-core 2GHz Cortex A53 CPU. It also has on-board support for LTE Category 6, with download and upload speeds of 300 Mbps and 50 Mbps respectively.
Now that we’re already in 2016, we hopefully wont have to wait to much before we get to see how good the Helio P10 actually is.
– No GPS (device-only)
– Non flagship GPU
– Mediocre cores, will not have “stellar” performance
– Most will be in badly optimized roms of z-grade Chinese manufacturers
– The ones from Sony/HTC and other A-grade manufacturers will have high prices
– Will be better to buy slightly more expensive 801/810 mid-ranger from OnePlus / LeTV
No thanks. Plenty good SD-801 and 810 (who can live with some throttling / heating) phones around and the prices are cheap as ever.
– This isn’t meant to be a flagship SoC, it is meant for budget and midrange phones.
– It isn’t mean for “stellar” performance, it is meant for a good combination of performance and efficiency.
– Some will be optimized, some won’t be. Some Qualcomm phones will be optimized, some won’t be. And the same goes for Samsung Exnyos and Kirin phones. Bad optimization at exists at every level with every SoC.
– Not sure what qualifies one as an “A” Grade manufacturer. Do you have the updated grading system done by a reputable industry analyst? I would say Xiaomi and Lenovo are both “A” Grade, but need to see this list you apparently have.
– Will be better to buy a phone based on the whole package and not just the SoC. Would also be better to stick with SoC’s for your needs. If you are only interested in flagship SoC’s, why are you looking at a budget/midrange SoC?
look at this unbiased reasonable comment just look at this right here *eyes become teary*
I don’t get into the Mediatek/Qualcomm fan wars. I have used some very good SoC’s from both and some very bad ones from both.
people just love to generalize i guess
Especially in this industry. According to many if one Chinese phone has terrible quality/optimization they all must. When it’s a brand like Samsung or Sony, two brands with horribly optimized ROM’s, they completely ignore it.
DAMN straight people are so biased all the oems have faulty devices but the big guns get a nice pat on the back lol
Aside from Xiaomi i don’t see any of them trying to optimize.
Meizu has done an excellent job optimizing the MX5, I use it everyday. LeTV, OnePlus and Zuk have all been very good at it as well.
This chip will be faster than SD801, and the GPU will have lots of new features like full DX11_1 support, that the Adreno 330 lacks, it will score higher in Antutu and Geekbench than the SD801.
Once game developers start to take more advantage of these features, the Adreno 330 will start to lose it`s steam, while the newer architecture like the Mali 8xx will only gain performance.
this will replace mt6753, which has been fine for most people. And will be better than mt6752, which was considerably better than mt6753 on every aspect, except heat and power consumption.
So, it should be a very nice mid-range cpu on 120-160$ phones, not everyone want to game like no tomorrow on their phone.
Just give us the x20 already.
You should have made a preview article for P10.
There are some benchmarks out there and the features are mostly known. The interesting comparison being with the X10 since it is less in some areas, better in other. Ofc a comparison with 6753/6752 is a must too.
From the benchmarks I have seen it sits in between the 6752 and X10.
Depends how you look at it.
vs X10 has better power, better price and LTE cat 6 (vs 4) and has CDMA200 unlike the X10
CPU is a bit less but in practice the difference might not be relevant and GPU is less but not by a lot. The x10 also has 2160p video encode/decode vs 1080p for the P10.
Given the lower price, power and the fact that cat 6 is starting to be pushed in some key markets (including China where they label it as 4G+) , seems that P10 the wiser choice although X10 could be better for some users.
Not that i give much of a damn, i want X20 and it’s A72 based friends.
Yea I am more excited for X20. I don’t care so much about GPU (the game I play are playable on budget devices) but I need a really powerful CPU for video editing. And the A72’s will be perfect for that.
Nobody does video on the CPU. It’s dedicated encoder, DSP and/or GPU. So you do actually need the GPU.
Video editing is heavily dependent on the CPU.
Pretty much anything image related does better on GPU, Mediatek has a marketing term for heterogenous computing, they call it “device fusion”, you can google for that if you want but the info available is a bit old. Or look at this pdf http://cdn-cw.mediatek.com/White%20Papers/MediaTek_CorePilot%202.0_Final.pdf
While at it, this is the future they see (for now) http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1328616
Core Pilot is more about overall power consumption and using the best core for the best task. You still need powerful cores for editing, there is no getting around that. Most video editing software is very processor intensive.
lol you just don’t give up. sure the CPU cores take some load but for the most part the GPU/DSP is better at it and good software takes advantage of that.

Nothing sweeter than a good showdown with Balco , ” the man who never gives up “
man phones are getting a bit boring, upgraded parts but almost nothing new, whats still interesting is specs for the money, hopefully some new revolution is coming soon, we need to move way from touchscreens
What do you want instead of a touchscreen?
something like what the lenovo smartcast has(although the phone has a touchscreen) projector display with haptic feedback, just want the next big thing lol physical keyboard(pre 2007) to touchscreen(2007-??) to projector diplays maybe
The next big thing is probably VR, but it’s still in it’s infancy and could be years before we seen it adopted by the masses.
🙁 you know what ironic about VR, people say people arent sociable anymore etc but VR would would bring back contact-contact interaction
Software optimisation, new sensors , greater screen-to-body ratio, better internal build quality.
“Revolution” as mentioned by Assefa is too big word, but there are tons of possibilities. The thing is that small companies can’t afford “revolutionary” engineering, until bigger companies start the trend and component costs become lower.
After all, every company should think of something new to bring technological value to its product.
I get all that but he specifically said he wanted something other than touch screens for displays.
Optimization is usually an afterthought with most of these companies large and small. It’s the one thing i would love to see changed in 2016. Apple is the master of optimization, they know every last detail of each component thet use and how to get it to operate at optimal performance. That’s why they can reuse a camera sensor for years but still get good photos.
and still makes zillions off of it 😀
One that uses telekinesis !!!! D’uh!!!!!!
A72 is the revolution, this year.
The bigger revolution will be foldable screens at some point soon-ish, after that we go glasses before stretchable screens arrive.
???
Which translates to what for average customer?
Do you realize that most people don’t but a phone to run benchmarks?
Faster charge, wireless charge, better battery life, better network speed, fingerprint or retina scanner… Those are technologies that affect consumer experience.
An increase of 10-20% of the power of a CPU doesn’t really change anything since a 2 year old soc can easily run every app of the the play store (and I’m taking of a old midranger)
In all seriousness you should seek medical help.
No matter if you are trolling on purpose or you actually believe what you say.
I was expecting a more elaborate response from you.
What a disappointment.
why? you can tell from his first post he’s a benchmarks lover. an antutu score over 90000 is all he wants!
We all know he’s into CPUs and performance and also every phone is overpriced (except for the Elephone Vowney).
I just wanted to understand how a newer SoC (look, the only feature he mentioned was the speed) is this phenomenal innovation.
It was clear that the guy above asked if there was some cool feature coming out.
But anyway, he didn’t offend me, I usually laugh at these childish attacks
Ahahaha you’re the best sensei!
maybe i missed it in this forum.. but how is the accuracy of the gps. does it have gloness and or beido support. does it has fast lock speeds?
i’m not a specialist but i know you guys will do
have not seen any reviews for a while , who even mention GPS , as if it is not existent anymore on the phones
i just want a cheap phone with this CPU !
