Maybe at last MediaTek is able to show its real strength! Mediatek has announced the deca-core Helio X20 as their latest and best chip so far. We say that because not long ago, Mediatek posted a picture on their Twitter page, suggesting that this processor can allow you to take up to 32MP selfies plus fast focus technology!

According to the company, the Helio X20 deca-core chipset consists of three clusters: quad-core Cortex A53 clocked at 1.4GHz for simple tasks, another quad-core at 2.0GHz for more intensive tasks, and double-core Cortex A72 at 2.5GHz for when you need all the grunt at once.

Normally, there is no sensor naturally capable of taking 32MP photos without the help of some software tricks. Yet, if it really happens next year or even in the next years, Mediatek claims to be the processor that can support such a sensor.

This is good news for us as well as other consumers when we are pretty close to the end of the year and some new devices powered by Helio X20 chip are going to be launched in the time between December 2015 and January 2016. Currently, we’ve got HTC A9 Plus and Acer Predator tablet which have already been introduced as machines featuring Helio X20 in HTC A9 Plus specs and Acer Predator specs. As a result, we really hope that the 32MP selfies will come true in the near future.

In case of supporting capturing true 32MP selfies, MediaTek Helio X20 will definitely become the best processor in the mobile industry, way better than its competitors from Qualcomm Snapdragon and Intel.  Anyhow, we cannot just listen to and believe everything they say. We need to see it first 😉 !
