Mediatek Helio X30 specs revealed. Be prepared Qualcomm Snapdragon!

Smartphone processor is one important spec that help power the devices. When more RAM allows multi-tasking to be done smoothly, stronger processor helps process data faster. So besides normal concerning like design, battery, camera, many tech geeks and smartphone users do concern about the brand that manufactures the smartphone processor.

Mediatek and Qualcomm are 2 of the biggest smartphone processors in the market nowadays. According to reports, among 4 of the most powerful smartphone processors, Mediatek impressed with the Helio X20 chipset being ranked 2nd while Snapdragon 820 from Qualcomm ranked 4th.

The Taiwanese company Mediatek is working seriously to make a change in their business and how users consider their products. Remember this time last year, a lot of fans would go for a Snapdragon chip set instead of a MTK model. But the situation is changing considerably by now.

Mediatek is going to release a brand new smartphone processor, which will be Helio X30 – brother to former Helio X10 and X20. First leaking news suggest that this Helio X30 will sport 10 core architecture using a 16nm FinFET process. It will also go with 2 x 1.0Ghz Cortex A53, 2 x 1.5Ghz, 2 x 2Ghz and 4 x Cortex A72 running at 2.5Ghz. More amazingly, the chip set will support a maximum of 4GB LPDDR4 1600MhZ RAM, and a Mali T880 GPU.

It seems that we are not going to see new flagships powered by Mediatek Helio X30 before December – the high season for smartphone producers. Like a tradition, it won’t be unexpected if we see the first product to run this advanced SoC, probably early in 2016, is a Chinese handset.
