MediaTek Helio P70 detailed spec-sheet

Gaming has got to be one of the most demanding tasks for any smartphone today. To ensure that the experience on devices using this chip is top notch, this chip is optimized to reduce frame-rate jitters and improve gameplay latency for in-game touch controls. MediaTek is poising the Helio P70 at the mid-range segment of the market.  The predecessor, P60 ended up in phones around the $300-400 price range like the OPPO F9. If history is anything to go by, the P70 will most likely end up in similar handsets, targeted and sold primarily in African and Asian markets like India, Nigeria, Kenya, and China. As we speak, the chip is already in production, with consumer availability in phones pegged for as early as next month (November). Detailed Spec-sheet courtesy of AndroidPolice
