Helio P25, the MediaTek processor for dual cameras

[G.O.G]

MediaTek has just introduced the Helio P25, which is now the company's most recent processor in the market-oriented mid-range catalog. The previous model, the Helio P20, was precisely the one that incorporated mobiles like - for example - the Meizu X.

In this MediaTek Helio P25, the Asian company has put all the meat on the grill to break through the mid-range of the mobile market. This is an eight-core processor (Cortex-A53), a model manufactured under the process of 14 nanometers that shines with its own light for the fact that the compatibility with the technology of dual cameras. It is capable of operating two independent sensors up to 13 megapixels each.

To put this presentation in context, and before getting into the Helio P25 features, it should be said that what MediaTek has presented would be its somewhat simpler alternative to Qualcomm processors in the line of the Snapdragon 650 (Snapdragon 653 Is a step above), which has given life to phones like the Sony Xperia X, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro or even the Lumia 650. Even, perhaps, it could be argued that the choice of Cortex-A53 cores would place this Processor more in the barrier of models more humble like the Snapdragon 625.

The fact that the Helio P25 processor is compatible with up to two cameras on the same mobile means that, sooner or later, manufacturers that have not already done so will dare to launch mobile phones in the line of Honor 8 that will be powered by This newly introduced MediaTek processor. It was obvious that the dual camera had come to stay, and with the presentation of this processor that is still more confirmed if it fits.

As for the processor itself, MediaTek has emphasized that this is a model that, compared to the Helio P10, improves performance by 20% and reduces battery consumption by 25%. The maximum clock speed is 2.5 GHz, although that only happens with four of the cores, while the other four stays in the 1.6 GHz.

On the other hand, to find the most high-end options of this company already we would have to go to the family of Helio X, headed right now by Helio X30.
