The love of users for cheap MTK phones has nothing to do with considerations for the quality of the chipsets. Users are in most cases technically ignorant. The size of their pocket dictates their buying decisions. While the OS running on these base MTK chipsets can be designed to emulate features properly integrated into high end superior technology chipsets by flagship companies, the downside is in the capacity of these low quality chipsets to withstand equivalent hyperthreading, high processing power, multi-cores, and high withstand temperature Application Processors, DSP and Micro controllers in the 'flagship' products.Most failures associated with them are linked to low withstand temperature issues and shelf life of their NAND flash chips especially when subjected to numerous Erase/Write cycles. If you are a power user and can afford it, go for the flagship Qualcom products. It's just like the 'Intel inside' hype. When you buy a phone as in computers, the vhipset platform is an important consideration if longevity, processing power and quality are of prime interest in your mind. ##Check out Image, click my name!## For expertise, YOU CAN'T finish reading this resource from page A-Z and not become an established standard tech-support guru!

MizMyColi: affordability and it produces less heat compared to snapdragon, although the chipset is not too compartible with high end games, which means MTK phones are not good for gamers. 1 Like |

ugohemma:The ONLY advantage Mediatek has over Snapdragons is CHEAPNESS,don't get it twisted,MTK Chipsets are still learning and only good for dirt cheap Handsets..A two year old Snapdragon 810 which was the ONLY Snapdragon associated with overheating issues still runs circles around the BEST of Mediatek today.. I've used ONE Mediatek Smartphone with a so-called upper midrange CHIPSET and from my experience compared to Snapdragons it's NOTHING to brag about.. Being unable to afford the BEST in this part of the world shouldn't be an excuse for overhyping mediocrity.. |

I am not too conversant with chipsets/SoCĀ£ but I have come to realise that Snapdragon bests MTK and I like the fact that there is competition among the makers, it gives us, users, a variety to choose from and they sure have their merits and demerits. |

Mediatek phones aren't bad at all, it's affordable to say the least. What was the problem with the Tecno tho? samsam2019: |
Re: See This Nairalander's Reasons For Choosing Mediatek Over Snapdragon by paolokonqueror(m): 5:06am On Feb 19, 2017 |
Don't be too certain. Also you're assuming there will be no improvement on MTK? Tecno for example uses MTK for their flagship devices no? kazzonline: |

D4Daymoo:i beg to differ... While its true that mtk has a lot of low end chips doesn't mean it's not good for gaming. Look at the x20 mtk chip for example, it gives 10 cores, with frequencies of upto 2.4Ghz and Mali T880 mp8 GPU. How is that not suitable for gaming. |

Arguments supports both really. The MTK chips are cheap yet still gets the job done. The improvement over the years has been rampant too. I think it all depends on choices. As we all know that Tecno and the likes rule the Africa mobile market. MTK will be in use for long. Good news is, they will continue to innovate. |

Hi guys, what i want to say is dat snapdragon is 'wafer thick' superior to mtk, if u grab what i mean, just a margin. The rest of the differences u may think is not the fault mtk. Take dis; snapdragon models come with 1 major upgrade and the rest are just fixes and improvement and their upgrades are usually innovative eg makin their chipset support 2160p @ 60 fps in one upgrade and support for fingerprint in that upgrade and vitual reality in the next. Mtk not beign as innovative as snapdragon follow the lead. But when it comes to conventional android operation, belive it or not mtk is up to par. All those sayin snapdragon up and down, do you know dat if samsung places the flagship of mtk into s7 and cloaks it as snapdragon u would not know. Reason is dat chipset alone does not matter in d performance of android and there are so many variables eg ram, am sure by now many of u know dat ram has a technology behind it. Trustin dat tecno has people with budget in mind and wouldnt slap state of 1 Like |
Re: See This Nairalander's Reasons For Choosing Mediatek Over Snapdragon by erekking(m): 10:05pm On Feb 19, 2017 |
the art ram into their device but samsung wouldnt do dat and trust me ram plays a huge part,hint the iphone7 has 2gb of ram.Let me give u another variable,the android os is not an optimised one dat is why oems overlays to optimise the performance,when windows 8.0 came out my friend with a pc of 5th generation intel core i7 tried an uprade.endline is dat it was a disaster, then came 8.1 it was flawless yet not even as good as win10 all in in d same i7.So u see wat i mean i dont need to start blowing grammar inshort the iphone is faster dan an android because of os optimisation. Even when opening the same app, what then would u expect in other areas, the truth is dat if u can change os like u can do in pc on handheld devices, and u boot android into an iphone, trust me the performance wouldnt be the same. Not to prolong this any further, mtk is not optimised well with dis budget friendly oems, they dont do justice to it well makin it seem in competent.Technology is as powerful as its wielder. 1 Like |

The truth is: *if you're a gamer or a lover of great sound output you have no better option than Snapdragon. *if you're the type who sells data Sims and uses Airtel BB sub on ur droid amongst a few other MTK tweables, you need MTK. I was an MTK addict but right now I cannot sacrifice great sound output and performance for anything else so Snapdragon it is for me |
Re: See This Nairalander's Reasons For Choosing Mediatek Over Snapdragon by erekking(m): 9:19am On Feb 20, 2017 |
jayauthentic:my brother dat is my point, its not like a good mtk cant handle or render a beats audio output or bang and olfusen, its the oem that will do dat.the added technology will enhance the device, just like iphone enhanced Lcd to become retina display or samsungs' samoled. Some times u just cant blame mtk. |

Different strokes for different folks. The average Joe does not know what mediatek or Snapdragon is, they're just looking for a capable phone. |
Re: See This Nairalander's Reasons For Choosing Mediatek Over Snapdragon by erekking(m): 2:26pm On Feb 20, 2017 |
Truly, its not like mtk would go and build an mt67xx chipset series dat supports virtual reality just because snapdragon did dat at dat current time, when they know somebody with mtk chipset in their budget device wouldnt step into computer village saying he is going to buy a $500 occulus rift virtual headset.the feature would not be utilised,hell! Not even most snapdragon fan would utilise it(unless its a gift or you are a geek with money to spare) but those everyday features like fingerprint and nfc a released as soon as snapdragon debuted the tech. |

shiftback: That's true. Most folks aren't bothered about technical debates. |
Re: See This Nairalander's Reasons For Choosing Mediatek Over Snapdragon by scarycuteface(m): 6:06am On Feb 21, 2017 |
Most people.don't even know the difference. Most believe that as long as the phone can do basic things, it's good to go. MTK has and is improving, Snapdragon started from somewhere too. It's evident in the Tecno phantom 6+ how powerful MTK is now. |
