After announcing a bunch of amazing sounding chipsets that put them toe to toe with high-end system on chips from Qualcomm and Samsung, Mediatek appears to have run out of ideas. While the first phone with the Mediatek Dimensity 1000L (Reno3) has been launched, we are yet to see anyone integrate the full fat Dimensity…
It is unlikely you will have ever heard of Unisoc, the company is relatively new since being rebranded from Spreadtrum Communications, Inc and is a fabless semiconductor company headquartered in Shanghai producing chipsets form mobiles and IoT devices. They predominantly focus on the Chinese market as well as developing markets, the same could have been…
The MediaTek Dimensity 1000L is a very odd chipset when you look at its specification, it is not a mid-range chipset. It is basically a slightly cut down version of the flagship Dimensity 1000 adopting the same 4x Cortex-A77 & 4xCortex-A55 design as the full-fat version. The only noticeable difference on the spec sheet is…
MediaTek has been on a roll for the last 6-months or so. It started at the end of July with the launch of the Helio G90 series which was then featured in the massively popular Redmi Note 8 Pro. Benchmarks indicated this was as good, if not better than the Snapdragon 730G. In recent months…
An entry-level gaming orientated chipset seems to be a contradiction in terms, but recently MediaTek unveiled the Helio G70, which is technically the same as the Helio P65 previously released. Realme will be the first company to use this chipset with the Realme C3 which is set to arrive on the 6th of February, launching…
Meditek has been on a roll with their chipset launches recently, the company launched the MediaTek Helio G90 last year which comfortably took on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730, beating it in many benchmarks. Then the launch of the MediaTek Dimensity 1000 promised to be the companies first big push into the flagship chipset space in years,…
In 2020 we will have three mid-range 5G chipsets to choose from and quarrel about which is best. Qualcomm has long been the dominant chipset company for premium phones, but now Mediatek has upped their game. We have already seen the Helio G90T trade blows with, if not best, the Snaprdadron 730G. 2020 will see…
With all the chipsets for 2020 now announced, it looks like 5G is quickly going to gain traction. Almost all the chipsets from the upper mid-range through to flagship will be 5G only, and companies such as Realme will only launch 5G phones (in China) moving forward. This year we saw a strong focus on…
The MediaTek Dimensity 1000 was announced two days ago and with a specification to rival the best of the best from Samsung, Qualcomm and Huawei. The 5G chipset which is fabricated on the 7nm process features 4 x ARM Cortex-A77 performance cores and the Mali-G77 GPU. As usual for things like this, a benchmark has…
Today MediaTek formally announced their new flagship chipset which looks set to bring back MediaTek into the world of flagship devices with some impressive specs. This chipset was the “first” 5G chipset to be announced all the way back in May, it seemed like a market stunt, just to get the news out, with no…
Xiaomi has continued to unleash phones on the market in quick succession this year covering almost every price point but shying away from the premium-priced flagships (ignoring the Mi MIX Alpha). The Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro is quite new to the market, but since its launch, in September there has been the Xiaomi Redmi…
MediaTek has been a mainstay in the low to mid-end of the market, but flagging with higher up phones. This all changed recently with the Mediatek Helio G90T which outperforms the Snapdragon 730G in most benchmarks and looks set to start MediaTek’s push back in into the higher end of the market. We already knew…
