I'm seriously considering opening one.

Yeah, you write good stuff

Gee, thank you.

atheistandproud:


Gee, thank you.

You're welcome

atheistandproud:


I agree with you sha. I remember the Tecno P5 in 2013 went for less than 20k. I remember people who bought that phone for as cheap as 13k.

Then Infinix was created as a sub brand, Buhari was elected and things fell apart. The fall of BlackBerry created a vacuum in the expensive phones market and soon iPhones became popular. Transsion decided to tap from that market. The rest as they say is history.

It annoys me anytime.

Sorry bro.

It is how it is.

BenDanor:

Very informative bro

Wow such a detailed write-up on MediaTek I thought very few people were aware about the brand's recent advancements. Keep writing and sharing more about technology with us.

Very informative post about mediatek and I think it offers a lot of information.

Yeah, many people don't. MediaTek has already gain it's bad name in the process of producing affordable chipsets so they'll have to prove themselves worthy of comparison to other notable companies. But if not mediaTek, there wouldn't be too many budget or entry phones today and they have won accolades for that. Recently, MediaTek is stepping up their game. I'm currently using the Helio p60 and its breezing fast.

Local man cannot comprehend...

So op what do u advice someone who doesn't know all this things (to avoid scammers) to go for. I mean between snapdragon(and the series), mediatek and the kirik. Which one is the best. I hope u get my message.

This question doesn't have a straight forward answer because there are a lot of things to consider. The Processor doesn't work alone. It has to run software and OS, power a display, run apps etc. and different companies approach these tasks differently.

If I had the choice between Realme C3 and Infinix Note 7, even tho they both use the same CPU, you're absolutely certain I won't pick Infinix because XoS (their operating system software) is a disaster.

To be on the safe side tho, pick from Helio P60 and above, Helio G70 and above and if you can afford the Dimensity series, those ones are good too. That's for Mediatek.

For Snapdragon, go with SD636 and above and for Kirin, start from the 710f and above.

All of them are good, Snapdragon only edges them because of the fact that they're easy to build apps and mods for because Qualcomm supports their chips more than everyone else.

Thanks very much man!!! Tho I would go for the snapdragon. Cos I plan on buying the Samsung S8.

Make sure say them no give you the Exynos variant sha. Cheers.

Is the p18 a good processor? Thinking of getting the Nokia 5.1

The Mediatek Helio P18 is a low end processor. It will do the basics for you well but don't expect too much from it.

It's actually a budget chipset. It's in the same class as the P22 and P35. It's okay, if you're not a heavy user.

F*ck. What about the 6750?

Senpai01:


F*ck. What about the 6750?

Budget class as well sir


It was midrange at some point but now, the performance of newer midrangers have forced it down to the budget class.

F*ck it, I'm not a heavy user anyway. Thanks for the help �

what of MT6761
which range does it belong to

CreepyBlackpool:
what of MT6761

which range does it belong to

That's Helio A22.

It's entry level sir.

atheistandproud:

That's Helio A22.
It's entry level sir.

oh ok
thanks

Good one. I remember my gone-too-soon redmi note 4 with x20 Deca core. That phone's overheating was out of this world. It's metal rear made it worse but it also meant the device cooled pretty quickly.

I will only embrace mediatek the day they release their source codes for custom rom development. That day, snapdragon will become my second wife.

In addition to atheistandproud's answer, steer well clear of MT675x SoCs (6750, 6752, 6753, 6755) and MT673x SoCs (mediocre quad cores) because they are not worth the bother. They all use outdated fabrication processes (battery killers) and they also have some truly terrible Mali and PowerVR GPUs.
You should really only consider stuff from:
The Helio P-series, namely Helio P23 (budget SoC but good GPU), Helio P60 or greater (P70, P80, P85, P90, P95).
The Helio G-series, Mediatek's answer to Snapdragon's gaming SoCs (G70, G80, G85, G90, G90T).
And the Dimensity series (800, 820, 1000).

Remember to also avoid the frying pan, battery guzzlers that are the (now suspended) Helio X- series. They heat up like crazy, with truly horrible battery backup.

That thread was for Snapdragon. This is for Mediatek

Great article sha... Las las Snapdragon is best.

Mediatek


MediaTek Inc. (simplified Chinese: 联发科技; traditional Chinese: 聯發科技; pinyin: Liánfākē Jì) is a Taiwanese semiconductor company that provides chips for wireless communications, High-definition television, handheld mobile devices like smartphones and tablet computers, navigation systems, consumer multimedia products and Digital subscriber line services as well as optical disc drives.


MediaTek has revolutionised the industry somewhat and are responsible for the following innovations:

1. First to use the ARM big.LITTLE technology (2013)
2. First to use Octacore chips (2013)
3. First to use Decacore chips (2015
4. The world's first "multimode receiver" for wireless charging (2014)
5. On February 25, 2014, MediaTek announced the industry's first "five-in-one" wireless chip. The SoC MT6630 supports 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WiFi, Bluetooth, ANT+, GPS and FM radio.
6. MediaTek collaborated with Google on the first Ultra HD TV platform for Android TV, resulting in the development of the MT5595 digital television SoC.[41] The product first shipped in LCD TV models made by Sony.

Mediatek was a bit of a joke in the industry, especially when they tried to enter the flagship market with the Helio X series in 2014 but it wasn't successful so they focused more on the lower segments like Entry to budget smartphones with a lot of success. Some OEMs have used their lower end chips and touted them as midrange chips which failed terrible and has given them a really bad reputation. Although recently, Mediatek have gone a long way in repairing that bad rep. They have even moved up to the midrange section and have announced a 5G Dimensity chipset. Mediatek place a premium on processing power and clock speed but produce very poor GPUs. Prominent users of Mediatek chips include Samsung, Transsion, LG, Motorola, Xiaomi, Nokia etc.


Below, we'll take a look at the prominent chipsets in each category made by Mediatek.

Mediatek has 6 types of chipset
1. Dimensity series
2. Helio G
3. Helio P
4. Helio X (discontinued for the time being)
5. Helio A
6. MT6****

Entry level: These chipsets can only carry out the basic functions of a smartphone i.e calls, sms, lite version of software e.g. FB, Android Go etc. These cannot and should not carry heavy apps.

MT6580 is one of the popular chips in this section. It's a 3G chipset made in 2015. It can still be found in Tecno Spark 3 1GB RAM model as well as several other Transsion devices especially the popular Tecno L8/L9 series. The Helio A22 is also another chip found in this range. The Redmi 6A also uses this chip. There's also MT6732 (Sony Xperia E4) and MT6735 (LG X power) here. Phones here should be around the 20 to 35k price range.

Budget level: These chips can run most apps available today but do not expect too much from them. Apps may take longer periods to load and may crash a lot as well. Games should be played at low settings. The most popular chips here are Helio P22 of Infinix fame (S4 and S5). Redmi 6 also uses Helio P22. Others are MT6737 and 6737T (Tecno Pouvoir 2, Moto E4), MT6739 (Pouvoir 3, Alcatel Y5, Huawei Y5 prime). Helio P35 is also another important chipset in this range (Tecno Camon 15, Infinix S5, Vivo Y17). Phones in this range should be around the 30 to 45k range or generally below 50k.

The Midrange: These chips are very capable. They can play most games at medium settings and loading times for apps are very good. The most popular here is the Helio P60. The Helio P70 is the same as the P60 but with faster clock speed. The P60/70 phones are Nokia X5, Oppo R15, Oppo A3, Realme 1, Realme 3.
The new shiny chips in the range are Helio G70 (Realme C3) and the G90T (Realme 6 and Redmi Note 8 Pro). These new chips are very capable, snappy and powerful. Prices here are from 45k to 90k.

Flagship killers: These chips are designed to produce flagship level performance on the cheap. The chips here are the yet to released Helio P90 and the Dimensity 800 (5G).

Flagship: These chips are the best the industry have to offer. The Helio X series was made to challenge here but it failed to dislodge Snapdragon and Apple bionic. The new Dimensity 1000 and 1000L which are both 5G chips and are yet to be released may change all that.

Edit: Dimensity 1000l is an upper midranger, not a flagship and it has been released with the Oppo Reno 3.

What a great piece of information the Mediatek chipsets. Mediatek as a brand is really growing big and has powered some amazing smartphones of late.
