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.
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?
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.
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.
