Anonymous, 27 Jul 2016samsung S6 available for £350 there, mate. Don't know... moreThanks bro but they don't meet my criteria tbh. The s7 edge is perfect for me but hella expensive and more than what I want to spend.

I may buy the ZTE Axon 7 or wait for Huawei Mate 9

    So far, the ZTE Axon 7 meets my criteria but the closeness of the home keys at the bottom are not ideal

      alternatively if you really want high-end spec, go for OP3 it's around £310-330, Snapdragon 820, 6gb ram, 5.5inch 1080p amoled, 3000mAh with quick charge.. it's a flagship grade with best buck.. or Xiaomi
      if ZUK Z2 available there, go grab it, the only downside of Z2 is only 5inch, Z2 pro is bigger but 3000mah and more pricier

                      I need a device that is 5.5 inches, has 4gb of ram, bigger than 3,000 mAh battery and a very good GPU for gaming.

                      A good camera is normally present when looking for those things so its not much of a deal breaker for me.

                      I don't wanna spend more than £400 and I don't need anything above 1080p tbh. Can't tell the difference too much.

                        Coming so soon after Helio X25, MTK has announced the X30 based on the 10 nm process and PowerVR GPU. So, next year we should see a Redmi Pro 2.

                          nick, 27 Jul 2016The Mali T880 MP4 in this Helios X20 and x25 beats Snapdrag... moreYeah, Helio X20/25 is faster than SD650/652 but the latter is more power efficient (not as efficient as Exynos chips) and it doesn't overheat. From my point of view, SD650/652 are the way to go, because offers good performance and battery life, whereas Mediatek chips aren't known to be battery-friendly and Helio X25 has known overheating issues.

                            A killer combination of dual camera, Helio X25 cpu, big battery, and Oled screen. Just great for photo taking and media viewing.

                                  AnonD-510098, 27 Jul 2016What about it with kirin 955? Would it overheat?Nope, Huawei is far better than MTK - you know. Huawei is using 16nm for Kirin 950/955. MTK is using 20nm or 28nm (not fully sure) processing node for Helio X20/25 chipsets. And that is the contributing factor for efficiency of Kirin 950/955.

                                  Fact is - MTK is YET to make ONE efficient SoC. They make cheap SoCs, but only crap SoCs so far. Let them make ONE good SoC, then we can talk about MTK as useful SoC maker. Not saying it won't happen. Just that, it has NOT happened yet.
