Qualcomm snapdragon processor has been for years the “thought to be” better smartphone processor compared to the MediaTek (MTK) because it has been used with a lot of top rated phones. Although this afore mention myth was true some years back following the low AI power delivered to users who purchased phones with MTK processor, as the users experienced low graphics display, tardy or missing system updated and other complains. Are phones built with snapdragon processors cool? Sure they are, but does that mean MediaTek processors are bad? Of course not, surprisingly the MediaTek (upgraded) and Snapdragon processors have same central processing unit cores. And also as much as the snapdragon processors are cool and great, snapdragon processors offer less level of Artificial Intelligence for most snapdragon series compared to MediaTek Helio Series (e.g P90) which deliver more AI power as it has additional AI accelerator chip and a better face Detection Engine. It is important to know that not all phones with large snapdragon processing unit and high clock speeds are worth the price most of them are usually outdated and have no much spec but just there to blow your mind out of the main purpose of getting a phone. Samsung and xiaomi flagship phones budget chips are prime examples of this. They offer decent CPU specs, which don’t possess quite enough ability for heavier tasks like gaming. Considering xiaomi, Huawei and even Samsung low end phones, there are some good System on Chip(SoC) choices if you’re on a budget. However, you have to be increasingly careful which chip you pick as the price gets lower as most of them are outdated. OPPO is a phone brand that is innovative in making use of processors, they have a good SoC by integrating different chipset to achieve the best specs which are exactly what they are and offer good specifications. In all snapdragon processors are okay but not all are as updated as the big CPU. MTK are as well okay and following the fact they can be optimized on phone system. Most times going for processor which are updated and capable of handling large RAM, give best processing speed is necessary. Asking me what processor in phone I will go for? I do chose MediaTek processor following their recent improvement and trusted chipset as they are going to produce what will make them outshine their competitors. So going for OPPO devices, since they seem to be one prominent brand using such processor won’t be a bad idea. 3 Likes

You are asking if united Kingdom is better than Nigeria? Are you asking if air conditioner is better than fan? 19 Likes |

Naso. OP you self don fall for the trap. Both are good processors, depending on the grade you are carrying. Just because it is Snapdragon doesn't mean it is better. Shine your eyes Yakade: 5 Likes |

The soon to be launched xiaomi redmi note 8 pro, was 100% on my todo list [pending the availability of funds for leisure spending], but as soon I got alerted it will be coming with an mtk chip, the desire for that device has ran low faster than Nigeria budget funds, from 100% - 21% and still going. Because when it comes to dev access, maintenance and usability, the snapdragon chip is at least 78% better than any mtk chip within its competitive range. I know you are speaking from personal opinion and a marketing strategic point of view, but if you will choose an mtk chip powered device over a snapdragon device with eyes open, then you are technologically disoriented. Mtk is still coming, I do respect their pace and grinding towards the top, but while typing this, mtk powered devices are close to crapnophone. 18 Likes |

okolojay:my guy there's no way you can compare a flagship processor to a midrange processor the only processor that can rival snapdragon head to head is Samsung exynos Go and study both benchmark test mtk is trying but you can only compare to snapdragon mid range processors mind you snapdragon has both flagship and midrange processors 13 Likes |

Following the new mtk Helio upgrade there's no way you will say both processor do not achieve same output. You only judging base on the processor that have being up there. Maybe you can view the benchmark again. Between view this: https://www.smartprix.com/bytes/mediatek-helio-p70-vs-qualcomm-660-soc-benchmark-test-which-one-is-better/ DevilhimseIf: |

I don't know why people don't rate Mediatek chipsets sha. I guess it's because it's cheaper than the Snapdragon but the new Xiaomi note 8 is launching with the Mediatek G90T chipset and it has been proven to be a very good chipset. It even beats the Snapdragon 730 chipset on Antutu Benchmark so i don't know why people keep hating on Mediatek. 11 Likes |

bigboychukstar: True this. Both parties are improving every day. Except you're insinuating that one has been static while the other has been rapidly rising. It's not a thing to be ashamed of for Mediatek to be beneath Snapdragon. Qualcomm definitely hold all the aces. 2 Likes |

am sure xiaomi saw how wonderful the processor worked, especially the optimizing properties on OPPO devices and decided to adopt it. Its not hating it is just ignorance. Alfred234: 7 Likes 1 Share |

Alfred234: Note that Antutu scores are a combination of a lot of parameters. A breakdown of these parameters would reveal to you that 730 still outperforms G90T in several key areas like graphics, power consumption, e.t.c 1 Like |

techboss1313: Very necessary to note that. 1. This is Mediatek first vs Snapdragon's second class. 2. Antutu measures overall. This second class still has the advantage in like two or three key areas. 1 Like

DesChyko:I actually took my time to compare the two chipsets and the Snapdragon only beats the Mediatek in display quality and Download speed. 2 Likes |

Also note that the Mediatek G90T is specially designed for gaming so it may be lacking in some areas.

Alfred234:Yup. Add Battery usage and Camera support too. To crown it all, you're probably comparing the best Mediatek chipset to a mid-range Snapdragon chipset. There are more powerful (and more expensive) Qualcomm SoCs And this S730 'G' is also a Gaming chipset. |

The comparison i know is that mediatek is crap and snapdragon is not, i should know cause i have used phones spotting both chipset 2 Likes |

Alfred234: The benchmark was run on the latest antutu version which is giving high marks And it's G90 vs sd730 And. G90T vs Sd730g 1 Like |
| Re: Is Snapdragon Really Better Than MTK? by Alfred234(m): 8:55pm On Aug 28, 2019 |
DesChyko:We can't conclude on the battery usage yet until phones that uses the chipset are launched. Besides the Xiaomi Note 8 will launch with the MTK Helio G90T and the Note 8 pro will launch with the Snapdragon 730G so there'll be room for a better comparison. |
| Re: Is Snapdragon Really Better Than MTK? by horlahwaley(m): 10:41pm On Aug 28, 2019 |
If it is not snapdragon soc then it is a no no no. Cant use a chip without devs support. |
