MediaTek has announced its latest Helio P35 chipset, which we can expect affordable smartphones in India to come equipped with. The new chipset is built on TSMC’s 12nm FinFET fabrication process and comes with support for Full HD+ resolution display and a 20:9 display aspect ratio. The Helio P35 features ‘light’ AI enhancements, which includes support for face unlock, photo album, single and dual camera bokeh. It features an octa-core Arm Cortex-A53 CPU that can be clocked at speeds of up to 2.3GHz, which is coupled with an IMG PowerVR GE8320 GPU running at up to 680MHz. The new chip is expected to debut with the Oppo A5s smartphone, which the smartphone maker is teasing to launch soon in the country.
The MediaTek Helio P35 is also features a LPDDR3/LPDDR4x memory controller and comes with MediaTek’s NeuroPilot support. The chip is cable of delivering Cat-7 network speeds and supports Bluetooth 5.0 protocol. It also enables simultaneous coexistence of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11 ac) for a boost in throughput. For optics, the processor supports dual camera configurations of up to 13+13MP sensors and comes with a hardware-based depth engine for enabling bokeh shots. The platform also supports a single camera mode of up to 25MP with simulated bokeh effects, along with MediaTek’s implementation of Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS), which is paired with a rolling shutter compensation (RSC) model to Helio mitigate warped video when capturing fast action content or panning.
Anku Jain, Managing Director of MediaTek India, says, “Consumers in India want smartphones that capture great photos, take advantage of the latest AI capabilities and deliver robust connectivity, without breaking the bank. The powerful and power-efficient Helio P35 continues MediaTek’s mission to make great technology accessible, enabling device makers to bring to market ‘New Premium’ devices that reshape expectations of what an affordable smartphone can deliver.”
As mentioned earlier, the new chip is expected to debut in India with the upcoming Oppo A5s. The smartphone is expected to launch soon in India and is confirmed by the company to feature a waterdrop notch display design and come equipped with a 4230 mAh battery.
