The Redmi K30 Ultra was announced last month with almost the same hardware as the Redmi K30 Pro or Poco F2 Pro but switching the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 to a Mediatek Dimensity 1000+. With an attractive price of $399 for the 8GB/128GB model, my impulse took control, and I decided to import the Redmi K30…
MediaTek has today launched another chipset, which feels like a weekly occurrence now. Most recently the company launched the Helio G85 which turned out to be the exact same as the Mediatek G80 but with a 50Mhz difference on the GPU. There is a suspiciously low uptake of these new chipsets, and my best guess…
Yesterday Honor took the wraps off their latest upper-mid range phone in China, the Honor 30S. This is the first phone to feature the new Hisilicon Kirin 820 chipset, with its 5G connectivity this is positioned against the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G, MediaTek Dimensity 800 and 1000l. With the current disputes with the US, we are…
The MediaTek Dimensity 1000L is a very odd chipset when you look at its specification, it is not a mid-range chipset. It is basically a slightly cut down version of the flagship Dimensity 1000 adopting the same 4x Cortex-A77 & 4xCortex-A55 design as the full-fat version. The only noticeable difference on the spec sheet is…
In the past, I have moaned about the mind-boggling number of Qualcomm chipsets launched, especially those chipsets that sit in the mid-range market. Even now, we currently have phones in production with the Snapdragon 710, SD712, SD730, SD73G, and the new SD765G, then there is also the standard SD765 but no phone uses that. Then…
I have previously published several leaks of the benchmarks for both the Mediatek Dimensity 1000L and Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G which showed the Dimensity being more powerful than the Snapdragon in both Antutu and Geekbench. Those were early benchmarks, and the comparison was made against the Redmi K30. Now the OPPO Reno3 series has been officially announced,…
OPPO has officially announced its new Reno3 phones which have been heavily leaked the past few weeks. One of the most interesting aspects of the release is that the Reno3 will be the first phone to use the new MediaTek Dimensity 1000L SoC. It is also a little odd because on paper the Dimensity 1000L…
Another day, another OPPO Reno 3 leak with more benchmark results. This time we have both models being benchmarked on the older version of Geekbench (4). It is another conflicting result, showing the cheaper Reno 3 with MediaTek Dimensity 1000L outperforming the more expensive Pro model with Snapdragon 765G. Yesterday, the Mastu Lu results indicated…
In 2020 we will have three mid-range 5G chipsets to choose from and quarrel about which is best. Qualcomm has long been the dominant chipset company for premium phones, but now Mediatek has upped their game. We have already seen the Helio G90T trade blows with, if not best, the Snaprdadron 730G. 2020 will see…
