The latest addition to MediaTek’s Helio P series mobile processor family – the MediaTek Helio P25 SoC has seen more of its details released. Unveiled alongside the superior Mediatek X30 last year, the new chipset combines dual-camera support with power-saving tech and advanced multimedia capabilities.
Built using the 16nm FinFET process as the Helio P20, the Mediatek Helio P25 has an Octa-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor clocked at up to 2.5GHz with the ARM Mali-T880 dual GPU clocked at up to 900MHz. It is clocked higher than the 2.3GHz on the Helio P20 but other specs such as the connectivity, LTE FDD TDD Cat. 6 with 2×20 CA and up to 6GB LPDDR4x memory are basically the same.
The Helio P25 delivers more power than competing solutions, offers up to 25% better power efficiency, and high performance auto exposure – Turbo 3A, to accelerate AE convergence speed by 30-55%. It is paired with MediaTek’s Envelope Tracking Modulator to deliver more processing power and less heat.
Commenting on the launch, Executive Vice President and Co-Chief Operating Officer at MediaTek, Jeffrey Ju said;
“MediaTek Helio P25 paves the way for high-resolution and feature-rich smartphone cameras that enable amazing static shots and 4K2K videos. Supporting two cameras up to 13MP each, the MediaTek Helio P25 redefines expectations for mobile photography and our multimedia features like, MediaTek MiraVision technology, continuously enhance visual user-experiences.”
Smartphones powered by MediaTek Helio P25 are expected to hit the markets by Q1 2017.
