MediaTek Helio P70 chipset for better gaming, fast LTE, and AI smarts.

Image
MediaTek is one of the biggest names when it comes to mobile processors. It powers a lot of mid-range and lower mid range smartphones. The company announced its latest chipset for smartphones few weeks ago. It's the MediaTek Helio P70. The Helio P70 is the successor to the P60 that powered many Oppo and Vivo smartphones. Both the CPU and GPU are upgraded in the P70. The Helio P70 uses an octa-core system with four ARM Cortex A73 processors clocked at 2.1GHz. Along with that, there are another four Cortex A53 chips @ 2.0GHz. On the graphical side of things, we're looking at a Mali-G72 MP3 system that can be used up to 900MHz (a performance boost of 13% compared to the Helio P60). To make sure your gaming experience here is great, the Helio P70 is optimized to reduce frame-rate jitters and improve gameplay latency for in-game touch controls. The P70 also supports LTE speeds up to 300Mbs, an "enhanced AI engine" that offers a 10 - 30% processing speed

OnePlus 6T is the same OnePlus 6 with some extra sugar coat....

Image
OnePlus 6 is one of the best, if not the best flagship phone and just before all the leaks of the OnePlus 6T, I wondered what could have been better. I have a OnePlus 6 and honestly apart from a slightly bigger battery and better stereo speaker, I didn't wish for any other changes.

Along with all these OnePlus has one of the biggest and most active community. All these make OnePlus one of the best phone making companies in 2018. The OnePlus 6T has a 6.41" Optic AMOLED with a resolution of 1080 x 2340 and 19.5:9 aspect ratio. The screen is protected by the Corning Gorilla Glass 6 this time. The p
