MediaTek introduces the Helio X23 and Helio X27 chipsets; both carry deca-core CPUs



MediaTek announced today two new chipsets for its high powered Helio X2x line. The Helio X23 and Helio X27 both feature a deca-core CPU that is created using MediaTek's tri-cluster setup. Both come with two high powered Cortex A-72 cores and two sets of four low powered Cortex-A53 cores. The CPU on the Helio X27 chipset features a 2.6GHz clock speed compared with a slower 2.5GHz clock speed on the Helio X25 SoC.


MediaTek introduces the Helio X23 and Helio X27 chipsets; both carry deca-core CPUsThe new Helio X23 SoC and Helio X27 SoC both support dual camera setups, something that we are seeing more and more of in MediaTek's main markets. Speaking of photography, MediaTek's Imagiq image signal-processing solution will "integrate color and mono cameras and depth-of-field applications into a single ISP aimed at both quality and functionality for photography." The Huawei P9, for example, has a dual camera setup on its back that uses one color camera and one that shoots in monochrome. The pictures come out looking sharper this way.



Both new chips will save 25% on the consumption of power normally required to drive the display. The MiraVision EnergySmart Screen technology reduces energy consumption by 25%. And the Envelope Tracking Module matches the output voltage to the power amplifier's signal strength. This results in a 15% saving in power consumption during peak operating periods.



"The MediaTek Helio platform fulfills the diverse needs of device makers. Based on the success of MediaTek Helio X20 and X25, we are introducing the upgraded MediaTek Helio X23 and X27. The new SoCs support premium dual camera photography and provide best in-class performance and power consumption."said Jeffrey Ju, Executive Vice President and Co-Chief Operating Officer, MediaTek



MediaTek says that the Helio X23 and Helio X27 will be found inside new handsets soon

Waterproof LG G6 to include wireless charging?

Image
LG's next flagship phone is expected to be called the LG G6. That is the easy part to figure out. What isn't so easy is figuring out what features will be included on the device. According to a report out of Korea published today, the LG G6 will be waterproof. One LG executive was quoted as saying that there is high demand for a waterproof handset in Japan because of the humid and rainy weather. The report adds that this will mean the end of replaceable batteries on LG's flagship phone, which in turn means the end of modular capabilities. Considering that LG was schooled by Lenovo/Motorola on that subject, dropping it might be considered a positive. And speaking of positives, the word is that LG will be using a more expensive waterproofing technique using adhesive rather than the cheaper tape employed by Samsung. While 3M makes the tape used by Samsung for its waterproof  handsets, companies such as Hitachi, Henkel and 3M are competing for the adhesives contract wit...

Amazon Go is a grocery store that will let you skip check-out lines once and for all

Image
Grocery shopping certainly has gotten a lot easier over the years. Thanks to the ever-increasing power of mobile technology, we can now not only scan rewards cards on our phones and watches, but pay for our items with these devices as well. This is much better than having to mess with numerous plastic cards and physical cash, but things could still be better. No matter if you pay with a debit card or with your Apple Watch, you still have to wait in line to check out with your groceries. But what if you didn't have to wait in line? What if you could simply grab the items you needed from the grocery store, walk out without going through a check-out line, and instantly have them paid for? Amazon has created a grocery store to make this a reality, and they're calling it Amazon Go. Amazon Go is a physical grocery store that will be launching in Seattle, Washington in early 2017, and it's packing in some pretty impressive tech. Upon entering the Amazon Go stor...
