The
first prototypes started to appear in June, but only in August we had
the chance to see the first smartphones based on the new chipsets being
sold.
MediaTek released two versions of the new MT65x3 platform: MT6513 and MT6573.
The first one, MT6513, is the low-end version, and it can be considered
the direct successor of the old MT6516. This chipset supports Quad-band
GSM and GPRS / EDGE data connections. It features an ARM11™ processor running
at 650 MHz as well as support for advanced 3D graphics. The high-end
version is MT6573, has all the same features as it's little brother, but
also integrates a 3G / HSPA modem supporting mobile broadband rates of
up to 7,2 Mbps downlink and 5,76 Mbps uplink.
From several video reviews that are appearing on the web, it can be
noticed that these chipsets provide a good Android user experience.
Personally, I have many faith on these new MediaTek chipsets and will
soon be reviewing one MT6513 based smartphone. Keep posted!
