Just yesterday, MediaTek announced a new mid-range chipset as the successor of Helio P60 i.e. MediaTek P70. Helio P70 is an octa-core CPU built on a 12nm FinFET process. The Helio P70 comes with 4 ARM Cortex-A73 and 4 ARM Cortex-A53 cores, and a multi-core APU for AI processing. An ARM Mali-G72 GPU provides graphics support for the SoC. Realme has announced that they will be the first brand to launch MediaTek Helio P70 products globally, though they have not announced the name of the device.
Realme has not given a timeframe for the launch of the Helio P70 device, but if you check out the MediaTek announcement of the new SoC, you will find that Helio P70 chipset is in volume production, and phones powered by the new chipset will be available from November this year. By this, we can infer that the Realme Helio P70 smartphone will be launched in November itself. Helio P70 has triple ISPs (Image sensing processors) which can support up to a 32MP single camera or 24 + 16MP dual cameras.Â
If you remember, Realme started their journey with Realme 1 which is powered by MediaTek Helio P60 and received good response from consumers. Realme 1 sports a 6.0 inch 18:9 FHD+ IPS LCD Display powered by powered by 2.0 GHz Octa-core MediaTek Helio P60 Processor along with 3GB / 4GB / 6GB of RAM. It comes with 32GB / 64GB / 128GB internal storage and runs on Android 8.1 (Oreo) based operating system with ColorOS 5.0 on top. In terms of camera, it features a 13MP main rear camera with PDAF, Geo-Tagging, Depth Effect etc., while on the front there is an 8MP shooter with support for Portrait Mode. The phone is backed by a 3410 mAh Battery without any support for fast charging.
