MediaTek introduced to China two new platforms for entry and mid-range tablets: MT8163 and MT8735. Both chipsets take on board Cortex-A53 cores but is capable of displaying Full HD.

 While the tablet market is clearly stagnant, manufacturers continue to propose, especially among those using Chinese MDGs. Dozens or even hundreds of different tablets are sold each year and must animate always cheaper chipsets, but also functional. MediaTek is certainly the founder who now speaks best for this population of manufacturers and brands.

 There is a month Chinese equipment had the MT8173, a solution with quad-core 64-bit Cortex-A53 both associated with two Cortex-A72. An interesting proposal with a heterogeneous configuration that enables each core as required. All obviously at a price that remains contained. This week, MediaTek already is back with two solutions already technologically less ambitious, as shown in the information reported by the site Mobile-dad. They are no less important for the segment of entry level tablets, as they should be particularly economical.

 This is particularly the case of the MT8163, a quad-core Cortex-A53 with the sale price (roughly obviously) should be around 5 dollars. For that amount, MediaTek made two promises. First, the Full HD display support (and even 720p 120 Hz). Then, a score of 30 000 points on AnTuTu about either performance close the Snapdragon 615. During our test HTC Desire 820, the quad-core Cortex-A53 was 28 000 points.

 Another important promise, the chipset is class compliant HEVC (which is still somewhat common) bear the dual-band WiFi (but not GSM) and is optimized for Android 5.1 Lollipop or the latest version. And all this reminder, $ 5.

 The second chipset, MT8735 is intended for tablets mid-range and good value for money. Certainly optimized version of the MT8732, already marketed by MediaTek, the new component would always be composed of four Cortex-A53 cores, but also a full range of network connections, including LTE. The founder, however, promises good performance, especially in terms of power and consumption. The chipset is able to encode both MP4 streams simultaneously in Picture in Picture mode (needs to know what definition). But it certainly will not its main asset.

 Both products are available from the manufacturers now for tablets marketed the first half of 2015. The first models should therefore arrive quickly. It will be interesting to see the effect of the aggressive positioning of MT8163 on the price of the upcoming entry-level models.

MediaTek is the eternal rival Qualcomm, it is the largest provider of phone processors in the world and reigns supreme on the high end. However, Samsung has shaken the American glove with its Exynos 7420 that has trouncing Snapdragon 810. MediaTek also wants to get into the game to win its share of high-end cake, he has success with its Helio processors.

 MediaTek is a Taiwanese company that continues to want to shorten the distance with Qualcomm and it works pretty well so far. Indeed, the chipmaker has now overtaken the US as regards the entry level and also the mid-range recently. Starting with the bottom of the ladder, MediaTek back slowly ranges.

 This seems to be the last stage of MediaTek diabolical plan to take over Qualcomm; the premium is the next target. The problem is that this firm is suffering from an image “low end” because its components are most of the time in this range and also because optimization is his forte, but this is not always the case.

 Both SoC presented by the firm are the Helio P and Helio X, but we have no information about the Helio P. Let us go into the details, the Helio X10 is here presented in 64-bit and with 8 Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 2.2 GHz. It also comes with a refresh rate of 120Hz and allow video recording in slow-motion 480 fps, the maximum being 240 to date for iPhone 6.

 One index for Helio P “premium performance chips,” maybe it will be an even better version than the X10. In any case MediaTek promises heavy with its new products at the same time the Snapdragon 815 surfaced, and could well pass the course the high end once and for all. The first smartphone with Helio processor could happen in the second quarter of 2015.

We saw it coming in the database GFXBench, a mobile device with integrated whole new MediaTek MT6795; this processor proves to be extraordinary because it has a 64-bit architecture and a clock frequency of 2.2 GHz. It is positioned as high-end smartphones and remember that made its debut in July last year with an interesting feature as the ‘Super-Slow Motion 16x’.

 And now we just have to go see together the main features regarding this new prototype with within the new SoC Mediatek.

 The smartphone in question will boast a screen of 4.6 inches with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels and a density of 653p, MediaTek MT6795 processor, video card GPU PowerVR G6200, ROM 32 GB, 3 GB RAM, front and rear camera is not supported 4 megapixel sensor (barometer, accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity), NFC technology and an operating system Android 5.0 Lollipop.

 The quality does not disappoint with the exception of the lack of rear camera. Now all point to the quality of the Cam-performing, but we look at the performance of the processor. Considering the SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 with Adreno GPU, the scores are lower than the processor MediaTek much that the equalities also coming for the version with Galaxy Note 4 with Exynox and Mali T760.

 What is the ‘Super-Slow Motion?

 To explain the better performance of the function Super-Slow motion, MediaTek, has decided to publish a video on his Youtube channel important that will highlight the new MediaTek MT6795 SoC. The chip has an architecture midrange octa core 64-bit and a clock frequency to 2.2 GHz, all qualities that allow you to perform in FHD video frame rates to 480 fps – corresponding to a slow motion 16x.

 Unfortunately the company MediaTek has announced the availability of this new SoC, but according to some rumors it seems that HTC is working to establish a new integrated device of this Chip (HTC A53). Despite all of this function ‘Super-Slow Motion’ turns out to be a real revolution which will also exceed the performance of an integrated SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 comes only at a frame rate of 120 fps.
