Helio X10 chip set, which was launched by MediaTek company earlier in March, is currently one of the most powerful smartphone processors available. The Helio X10 powers 64-bit octa-core SoC for mobile phones and is a direct rival to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 processor. As claimed by many sources, more and more companies now have the tendency to switch from Qualcomm to MediaTek. However, it is still a very controversial and personal argument to decide which is more optimal.

Since the Helio X10 chip set was just launched recently, only newly-launched devices are coming with it. Here are 4 of the best in them.
