Good news for Mediatek fans: semiconductor manufacturing company to announce a new chipset next week that will have support for 5G networks And, according to expectations, it will be very affordable.
There is not much information on this new piece. The characteristics and specifications of this mobile platform are still secret, but what is certain is that within the next few days we will be getting to know it completely and giving it a pleasant welcome.
Since it is said to be an inexpensive SoC, it could be offered in the near future in mid-range terminals. This segment already has the Dimensity 800, one of the most economical 5G processors of the moment that is currently installed in devices such as the Oppo A92s.
The Oppo A92s is a device that sells for around 300 euros and up and is mid-range. This has a 6.57-inch IPS LCD screen with FullHD + resolution, 6/8 GB RAM and 128 GB internal storage space. It also comes with a 3,890 mAh capacity battery with fast charging support and a 48 MP + 8 MP + 2 MP + 2 MM quad rear camera and a 16 MP + 2 MP dual front camera.
Mediatek's new 5G chipset announcement
It is rumored that the codename of the new Mediatek chip that we will soon know is MT6853 and, in addition to being designed for the mid-range, it could also be aimed at the input segment. This would mean that low-end terminals would receive it, which, in turn, would make possible the foray of 5G technology in devices with prices between 100 and 200 euros. If so, it would be a really interesting bet that companies like Samsung's Exynos and Qualcomm would have to face as soon as possible, since they have not yet offered 5G chipsets in that budget segment.
