MediaTek Unveils the MediaTek Helio X30 Chipset

0

MediaTek today announces the launch of the MediaTek Helio X30 – the world’s first mobile processor to boast a 10 core architecture and a 16nm FinFET process. Helio X30 is Mediatek’s third SoC under Helio branding and is their brand new flagship SoC for smartphones and tablets.

Helio X30 is the second mobile chipset to feature 10 cores (the first being the Helio X20). Unlike Helio X20, the cluster formation is a bit different and now includes more powerful Cortex A72 cores. The structure includes:

  • 4 Cortex A72 Cores running at 2.5GHz
  • 2 Cortex A72 Cores running at 2.0GHz
  • 2 Cortex A72 Cores running at 1.5GHz
  • 2 Cortex A53 Cores running at 1.0GHz

Other specs of the Helio X30 chipsets are:

  • 2 x LPDDR4 RAM ePOP (indicating that the SoC will be an ‘all in on package’)
  • Up to 4 GB eMMC 5.1
  • ARM Mali-T880
  • Support up to a 40MP rear camera sensor (that can record videos at that resolution at a steady 24 FPS)

Just few months ago, Mediatek announced Helio X20 — the world’s first mobile processor with ten processing cores (Deca-core). It is yet to debut in any smartphones and latest rumors suggest Elephone P9000 will be the first smartphone to sport Helio X20 SoC.

WHAT’s THE DIFFERENCE- HELIO X20 VS HELIO X30?

Helio X20 Helio X30
  • 2 Cortex A72 running at 2.5GHz
  • 4 Cortex A53 running at 2.0GHz
  • 4 Cortex A53 running at 1.4GHz
  • 4 Cortex A72 running at 2.5GHz
  • 2 Cortex A72 running at 2.0GHz
  • 2 Cortex A72 running at 1.5GHz
  • 2 Cortex A53 running at 1.0 GHz

Helio X30 is certainly going to be more powerful than Helio X20 because of the number of more powerful Cortex A72 implemented on the X30 chipset. But, we will have to wait and see if it holds to be true in real word. Both these chipset is rumored to feature in smartphones later this year.

CG digital is yet to unveil LG G4 here in Nepal, however, there are some few Kathmandu-based mobile retailers selling G4 for tech enthusiasts desperate to get their hands on the new flagship from LG. Interestingly, the device is priced at Rs.50,000 — identical pricing compared to international markets. BUY LG G4 HERE

LG G4 Specs:

  • 5.5-inch Quad HD IPS Quantum Display (2560 x 1440, 538 ppi)
  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 system chip (Qualcomm MSM8992 )
  • 3GB RAM
  • 32GB storage

  • 4K video
  • 8MP front camera with F2.0 aperture
  • Android 5.1 Lollipop
  • 3,000 mAh battery (removable)
  • Color: Black, White, Gold

WHAT’S NEW ABOUT THE LG G4? 

LG has emphasized more on its Camera specification in the G4 and touts its performance as a professional-grade DSLR. The phone comes with 16 megapixel 1/2.6-inch CMOS sensor with F1.8 aperture lens. The phone now sports improved optical image stabilization system with 3 axes. In addition, the G4 comes with laser AF for better focus and a new color spectrum sensor that reads RGB color and Infrared in order to recognize objects in a scene and their color. The raw data is then processed to optimize white balance and color processing. At the front, LG have opted for an 8MP sensor combined with an F2.0 aperture.

In terms of Display, LG G4 has a new IPS Quantum Quad HD display, which is quite similar, yet better than G3. There is the slightly unusual processor inside the LG G4- the hexacore Snapdragon 808 processor with 4 Cortex A53 Cores and 2 Cortex A57. Obviously, the SD 808 SoC is less powerful than the Snapdragon 810 of OnePlus Two and the Exynos 7420 of Samsung Galaxy S6, but LG says the hexacore processor is destined to save more power and will give better battery life. The phone boast a 3000 mAh battery which can be removed as well. The body of the G4 is slightly curved, nothing like the G flex 2, but the curved design means it’s easier to grab in the hands. The G4 runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system with the new human-centric UX 4.0.

The main USP of this phone is the removable battery and a microSD card slot — features that are hard to find these days in a flagship phones.

According to the latest press release from Samsung, Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge are getting a price cut globally. Samsung stated its quarterly earnings on Thursday, posting a fifth straight drop in profits. But the biggest story perhaps was the fact that the company reported unsatisfactory smartphone sales, including that of its flagship smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. The company further added that its bottom line suffered in part due to marketing expenses related to the new launches.

The press release reads:

WHILE THE IT & MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS (IM) DIVISION IS EXPECTED TO FACE A DIFFICULT BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT, THE SALES MOMENTUM FOR HIGH-END PRODUCTS WILL BE MAINTAINED BY ADJUSTING THE PRICE OF THE GALAXY S6 AND S6 EDGE AND INTRODUCING NEW PREMIUM SMARTPHONE MODELS.

Samsung is reported going to launch the Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+, which we expect to see at an event on August 13 in New York and London.
