Well, after seeing MediaTek got caught red handed about pushing the processor beyond safety limits when detecting there's a benchmark going on, I know for sure that I will never buy a phone with one of their processors.
I'd rather pay a little more for a Qualcomm or an Exynos and not have any regrets or headaches.

    China vs Taiwan
    Huawei vs Mediatek

    As for Mediatek, bring on the competition and the benefits it brings all of us. Innovations applied more quickly, prices lowered or kept in check, etc etc etc.

              I want to knowledge Network 4G and Network 5G comparisons.
              What is different and what is good for daily using mobile.

                Let's GO! See, LG's Velvet series could have literally gone with just MediaTek to drop the prices and that would have sufficed for that series at least. Especially now that the new M02 modem supports mmWave.

                Here's hoping this announcement would help HTC or even a new US brand enter with new alternative flagships for the lack-of-options USA.

                    i am afraid when they entering america continent it will become expensive now for asia too.

I've got a Pixel 4a with the 730G (more or less equal to the 720) and is fair enough to get what you want. It's more important the manufacturer's skin's optimization than the chipset itself

                          Hopefully 16k, to keep in front of those pesky Americans.

Normally, the US wouldn't permit them to compete with Qualcomm on US soil. But the US needs Taiwan so badly that they'd let them do whatever they want. So well played MediaTek.

The 720G was 4 months behind. The bigger problem is that Qualcomm announces chips probably for way too high of a price and nobody uses them until they're old and improvements have already come out. Qualcomm also reserves the newest ARM cores for their 800 series for a while. The 690 was announced like 8 months ago and it's only in like 4 phones.

                                    Qualcomm is irreversibly screwed for jacking up prices for so long.

                                    Samsung is going Exynos only soon and will design for Google too.

                                    Oppo is building own chips and may supply Vivo and OnePlus with their SoC.

                                    Xiaomi has intentions of bringing back sirge development, and in which they have said thay ste working in Surve processors and have not stopped development.

                                    In next 2 years landscape will change superfast.

                                    Now MediaTek has set it eyes firmly on US.

                                      Mediatek is already a leader in the general chip manufacturing industry, most of all types of electronics always have an MTK SOCT
