But idk how they are going to make it work... it needs a big battery.. i think they will build it with 7000 mah battery or even more..!!!!

    mas39, 03 Feb 2016What a joke, some of you think mediatek is better than qual... moreEach and every company has their working... mediatek helios x20 is clearly 10x faster than snapdragon 810 when equipped with mali t880mp12 and ufs 2.0 storage(standard set).... but optimisation and development is far more on snapdragon... so people go with qualcomm


    I am using snapdragon 820 board and helios x30 board for development and snapdragon is no where near helios raw performance

    X30 Big.little and direct caching with turbodised core is lot more powerful

    Helios x30
    4 Cortex-A72 cores running at 2.5 GHz
    2 Cortex-A72 cores running at 2.0 GHz
    2 Cortex-A53 cores running at 1.5 GHz
    2 Cortex-A53 cores running at 1.0 GHz

    With jump core technology

    Snapdragon 820
    Basic quad core 64bit 2.4ghz cortex A57

        What a joke, some of you think mediatek is better than qualcomm, you lot make me laugh, the s810 will still kick the helio x30 and in fact the very old s800 and s801 will also kick x30's butt, so please carry on with your comedy act because i'm loving it!

                sonyman, 06 Aug 2015mediatek helio X10 for 2015,mediatek helio X20 for 2016 and... moreI think Helio X20 has availabed in the market now, X30 will be released on early 2016.
                in the 2016, mediatek would be a leader for mobile processor.
                Please don't speak about apple processor to compared, that is probably the worsted processor ever when running Android 6 (not ios).

                    I think Helio X30 will defeat 820 easily, like as Helio X20 vs 810 in the benchmark score, and the management between the cores in the processor, Helio is smarter than snapdragon, you can see some link: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/mediatek-helio-x20-vs-snapdragon-810-processor-heat-test-results-revealed-1501693

Helio x30 gives us very very low quality gpu. more core do nothing except drain of battery. Its also offering ddr3 ram. Exynos offering ddr4 or better than that. Extra 2 core in cpu but never catch the speed with exynos 8890. Its far ahead.

                            10 cores are useless as most of the apps will use only two core , it would be better to give 8 cores (2+2+4) , maybe 1.2 ghz , 1.8 and 3.0 with more gpu cores, more cache memory really we don't have mobile soc with 6mb of cache, any app that uses more than 1.8 ghz will definately use 3 ghz no point in giving 2.5ghz cores , more cache memory will rock the device, and 14nm or 16nm is great, but using the material of intels 5th gen desktop processor to makr the processor will help reducing battery consumption. We dont need core we need cache memory and better architecture .

                                  I have enough from 1000 usd mobile. Samsung, the high end mobiles are
                                  really great, but f**kin expensive, all other is BULLSHIT. You cant buy a apropriate phone
                                  under 700 USD except the chinesse manufacturers like meizu, xiaomi, lenovo etc.
