On a market dominated by Qualcomm chips, a name like MediaTek is still seen as entry-level and phone powered by their chips aren’t perceived that good. Still, these guys deserve more appreciation, as they’re making some of the best mid-range models of the moment, fact proven by the latest MediaTek Helio P10, an octa-core system-on-chip, designed to replace the popular MT6752.

That’s pretty much power for a mid-ranger

According to the folks over GSM Arena, the P stands for “premium performance”, as the chipset is using a 64-bit octa-core processor, with eight Cortex-A53 cores, four of them being clocked at 2.0 GHz, while the other four are running at a lower speed, not specified.

Moving on, this new mid-range chipset is able to deal with a single 21 MP camera or a 16MP/8MP dual camera setup, with phase detection autofocus. Besides improving capture quality, phones loaded with the MediaTek Helio P10 can capture full HD videos, at 60 fps or take iHDR shots.
