Why is mediatek frowned upon here? They seem to make solid SOCs at affordable prices and usually beat out qualcomm in price/performance.
And the more popular phones with mediatek processors get custom rom support too, like the redmi note 2 or the LeTV Le 1.

I think that about covers it. I mean, they're probably great little SoCs for an ARM PC but mobile? Nah. This is silicon for currybros.

Mediatek smashes qualcomm in the budget end though
Austin Anderson
Sure, which is what matters for currybros and the developing world. More power to them but this is not an Exynos/Qualcomm equivalent. Heck, even Samsung can't make GPUs yet.
Adrian Morgan
They do have their moments though. Helio x10 vs SD808? mtk6752 vs SD615? mtk6735 vs SD415?

Adreno 418 vs PowerVR G6200.
I'll assume the midrange comparisons are valid--I haven't owned any to date. Still, what Qualcomm is selling is GPU+perf/W. Mediatek is tweaking Cortex and selling it cheaper. If anything, Mediatek's improvement in the CPU benchmarks goes to show the relative gap closing between ARM's reference designs and Qualcomm's cores rather than some great leap forward for Mediatek.

LeTV Le 1 with the mtk6795t manages 5-6 hours SoT iirc with a 3000mAh battery according to reviews.
Way better than my lg g3 used to get.
But yes, in gpu performance qualcomm is still king

Remind me why in 2016 people need multi-core CPUs in a decide literally designed to transmitting voice over RF

Because power consumption and custom roms have a tendency to be a bit iffy. If you're going for a budget phone it's fine though.
