Let’s be honest: unlike midrange phones, budget phones suck because you have limited processor options. Other than the occassional entry-level chips from Unisoc and Qualcomm, brands would often use the Helio G99 and Helio G100, both of which are related and are old processors by design. Let’s go with a little history: while the Helio […]
There’s no question that MediaTek has caught up with Qualcomm with phone processors. Qualcomm may still have the lead in terms of flagship processors, but MediaTek is dominating in the midrange segment. Despite the improvements on MediaTek’s part, not everyone likes using their chips–and we understand that. We asked our community on what makes them […]
When we asked about people’s hot takes in tech, one of the comments we noticed is the argument that MediaTek is better than Qualcomm. There are people who are biased against MediaTek processors, but we explained a few years ago how MediaTek is dominating over Qualcomm in the midrange segment. Does that still hold true […]
While we are just a few weeks away from the unveiling of the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Flip6, there’s a wild rumor circulating that Samsung might be launching three variants of the Galaxy S25 series: aside from the expected Snapdragon and Exynos variants, there’s a possibility that the Galaxy S25 series will have a MediaTek variant. […]
One of the latest chips that MediaTek announced is the Dimensity 7300 series. What makes it unique is that there’s a specific version that’s made for foldable devices with the Dimensity 7300X. This begs us the question: why is there a need for a dedicated processor for foldables? READ MORE: The Dimensity 7300 has a […]
We previously wrote that there’s no reason to hate MediaTek in 2023, and there’s another solid reason for that. Counterpoint recently released its report on Global Chip Shipments for Q4 2023, and MediaTek remains on top for the fifth consecutive quarter with 36% of the market share. Qualcomm remains to be in second place with […]
MediaTek adds another new mid-range processor to its lineup with the Dimensity 6100+ this new processor has two Cortex-A76 cores and six Cortex-A55 cores and has support for 10-bit displays. As a 5G-ready processor, the Dimensity 6100+ has support for sub-6Ghz bands, where it is capable of up to 3.3Gbps download speeds using 2CC-CA carrier […]
If you’ve been a tech fan for a while now, then you’d have noticed that mobile computing has gone a long, long way. Now we have unprecedented levels of power that we’d never once thought we’d encapture in the palm of our hands. That has given rise to heavier portable processing and gaming than ever […]
You’ve probably heard about this wild rumor involving MediaTek planning to partner with NVIDIA for a new set of chips. As much as it looked farfetched, MediaTek did announce at COMPUTEX 2023 that they are indeed partnering with NVIDIA. However, the partnership is not for smartphone chips: instead, MediaTek is teaming up with NVIDIA to […]
While MediaTek just recently announced the Dimensity 9200+, which made its debut on the iQOO8 Pro, they have started teasing their next-generation chip, which will utilize Arm’s new Cortex-X4 CPU cores and Immortalis-G720 GPU. Details remain scarce as MediaTek made the announcement at COMPUTEX 2023, but it’s speculated that their next processor will be called […]
