atheistandproud: Nokia X5, Android one directly from Google. You cannot compare Helio P60 and P35 or P22. You can actually compare the P60 with Snapdragon 660 sef to an extent. Na e poor GPU na do am if not, it's rather capable.
Transsion will never use it.
Nokia X5 with P60 is 45 to 50k Camon 15 pro with P35 is 95k
Inside life.

lol seriously I don't understand how over rated their phone is and how they magnify their camera
ZesusHVWritter: No vex, but was it a patch or major update? This is good news nonetheless.
I don't know the difference. just that when I launched the game it asked me to update it and wouldn't let me even cross the first screen. so I went on play store updated it for about 70mb and still, when I opened the game, it started downloading files but it didn't consume much data though.
ZesusHVWritter: Being a mild gamer, I prefer sd chipset devices to mtk. And coming from mtk I noticed something on sd. If a game of over 1.5gig data gets an update on playstore. For sd chipset, it might be 100mb or less. For mtk, you will be redownloading the entire game again of 1.5gig data.
I don't know if this is still applicable to newer mtk devices or not. But except this question is answered, I won't be considering any midrange mtk device for the foreseeable future.
Except sd goes to oblivion or decides to become unceremoniously less innovative. My highend device will always be SD.
No. I use the MK helio p60 and I updated the asphalt 8 on my phone it caused me 70mb
oluwafunso97: Budget Android Devices screen lacks good saturated colour. It's a 0-100 win When compared with an amoled counterparts. But in this video i'll be sharing an app called Color changer Free/pro. This app will allow you to Boost your Saturation and this gives your Android phone a new look
I'm seeing root beside the app does it mean that my phone has to be rooted. And do I have to get the pro version before I can do what you did in the video?
atheistandproud: An SoC can be defined as a small device in the form of a chip that contains all of the ingredients needed for the functioning of a smartphone.
Unlike a proper computer processor, smartphone SoCs are also referred to as microprocessors and pack all the gizmos used by a phone into the SoC such as the: 1. CPU cores 2. Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) 3. RAM 4. ROM 5. Modems (2G, 3G, 4G LTE, 5G) 6. Radio (FM, BT, WiFi) 7. Image Signal Processor (ISP and DSP) for camera performance etc.
These are all squeezed into a small chip the size of a 50 kobo coin.
The brains behind this technology is a company called ARM holdings. ARM designed this type of microprocessors for smaller devices that run on batteries so as to save space as well as battery and to reduce heat emissions. It's no fun to charge a battery for an hour plus, only to use it for 10 mins while it is hot enough to cook raw eggs abi?
ARM holdings do not produce any chips. Instead they produce designs for Mobile computing and sell them to semiconductor companies that actually manufacture these chips. All smartphones uses ARM cortex cores for their CPUs.
ARM cortex cores uses RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing). This means that they're designed to handle less complex tasks or tend to break difficult tasks into smaller sections before attempting to process them. This is different from Intel CPUs on PCs that use CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing) that can simply blaze through any task at a go.
The design methods used by ARM is called Architecture.
ARM licenses and sell their design in two forms
1. Core License A core licensee buys the design and manufactures it as designed by ARM and then sells the hardware or build a device around it.
2. Architecture License An architecture licensee buys the design and then modifies it to their own taste. Apple bought A9 cortex designs and rewrote the instruction set data size to 64bits while everyone else were still using 32bits. A modified core is called a Custom Core. Examples of custom cores from Apple are Swift, Cyclone, Typhoon, Twister and Bionic. Qualcomm makes Krait and Kryo (Gold and Silver).
Everyone buys from ARM holdings including Apple, Qualcomm Snapdragon, Samsung Exynos, Huawei Kirin, Mediatek and Nvidia Tegra.
ARM cortex CPU cores come in data sizes of 32 and 64 bits as well as instruction sets of 16 bit thumb and 32 bit ARM. The larger the number, the better.
If you are buying a phone from a honest manufacturer, they'll put the type of CPU cores in the advertisement. Some of us buying phones must have seen words like ARM cortex 53, 72, 73 etc.
Inside an SoC, there could be several numbers of CPUs inside. These CPUs are called cores. An SoC with 2 CPUs is called a dual core, 4 CPUs is called a Quad core, 6 CPUs is a Hexa core, 8 is an Octa core and 10 is a deca core.
Inside these SoCs, most SoC manufacturers arrange these core into two groups in a method know as big.LITTLE. High performance group/cluster (for heavy tasks but drains battery) and low performance (only for light tasks but saves battery) although the new Snapdragon 865 uses a High-Mid-low three tier arrangement in the SoC.
Here are a list of all the ARM cortex cores made: (32-bit) Year Core 2005 Cortex-A8 2007 Cortex-A9 2009 Cortex-A5 2010 Cortex-A15 2011 Cortex-A7 2013 Cortex-A12 2014 Cortex-A17 2016 Cortex-A32
Instruction sets The Cortex-A5 / A7 / A8 / A9 / A12 / A15 / A17 cores implement the ARMv7-A architecture. The Cortex-A32 / A34 / A35 / A53 / A57 / A72 / A73 cores implement the ARMv8-A architecture. The Cortex-A55 / A65 / A75 / A76 / A77 cores implement the ARMv8.2-A architecture.
The A30 tier have low performance. The A50 tier have mid performance and the A70 are high performance.
Finally: How are cores better than each other? Let's look at two ARM cortex cores: A53 and A72.
Build: the A53 is built in a simpler method with less transistors on a larger substrate (mini motherboard) whilst the A72 has more transistors and is built in a more complex way on a smaller substrate.
Processing: The A53 is bigger so it takes a bit more time for information to travel from CPU to RAM to Cache memory but the A72 is smaller so it takes less time/or it's quicker for information to travel from CPU to RAM and cache memory. The cache memory for the A72 is also bigger than that in the A53.
This is educative bro. Now I know the exact meaning of SoC and a little about ARM architecture. I'll hope to see a write up about GPU to know which is better. Thanks for the knowledge
