Good observation, most cheap devices come with mtk, not that they aren't good to be cheap, snapdragon is overhyped, overrated and over priced.




Bro try to comprehend what he wrote. He never said SD is overhyped

What are you saying? When you say overrated or overhyped, I'll still listen to you but saying overpriced I guess you're having Samsung in mind cos it's only Samsung I know that overprices over midrange SD. Go check other phone brands

I've been in the computer field for a long time and I know snap dragon chip beats mtk, but everything has grade you know, there could be more powerful mtk chips (which are rarely used on affordable devices l) but for all we know I've tested the snapdragon and it's powerful man, Samsung company which is the main user of this chip knows why the put it there, it has quality and [b]no one can mess with your information like changing of imei/b] and all that stuff which makes their phones traceable if it's gets lost or stolen, it's also why most high graphics games are mostly optimized for Samsung devices (new playstore app optimization feature), so my man in terms of quality snapdragon beats mtk, tho Mtk as I can say is the second best after snapdragon because of its flexibility and if you notice most cheap devices come with mtk, Arm cortex and below

Except for a very few new Samsung devices, one can change IMEI on Samsung phones with ease. The difference is you need professional tools that costs money unlike MTK devices that you can easily dial a code or download a free tool to change the IMEI.

If you've been in the computer field for long, you should know changing Samsung IMEI is no big deal.

Re: Is Qualcomm Snapdragon Chip Overrated? by eluquenson(m): 8:22am On Apr 30, 2018
I don't think it's overrated, a user will explain better.

Qualcomm still the best

Just like everything American, I really think Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset is overrated, and ain't any better than Taiwanese Mediatek chip! I came to this conclusion haven used smartphones running both chipset, from low end to high end devices. And my observation, in the low level devices Mediatek beats Snapdragon hands down in efficiency, power saving and overall performance. What's your experience, pls share?

Imagine! How can you make such comparison based on performance alone?

You seem to have forgotten that Security is also more important.

MTK chipsets have always been known for their famous MONKEY virus and Chinese ads. I wonder if performance is more important than your personal details being stolen by some unknown Chinese manufacturers.

The durability of snapdragon processors is by far better than that of the MTK processors. Its very rare for a samsung phone or any other phone using snapdragon chipsets to just die and stop working, but I bet you can't count how many MTK phones have died.

I shouldn't even argue about this. Only cheap minded people will think like you.


Overrated kor. mtchwwwwww
PS: compare HTC ONE ME or M9+ against the HTC ONE M9 on xda-developers and learn something new.

where you put the processor used on the iPhone ,Samsung exynos nko?
For me
1. Apple A series processor
2.Snapdragon
3. Exynos,Kirin
5 MediaTek

Exynos recent chip set is now better than snapdragon but they can't sell to other companies, because Samsung signed a contract with snapdragon that would last for 25 years that was the mistake they made but u can still find the Exynos chip on meizu 6 plus

thank God you said few.. And the few are probably old devices, I wasn't referring to all Samsung devices in general, and yea you can change imei of any device you want (except Apple devices) and the tools for that is not common

Mehn, forget all those.
Youre comparing MTK with Snapdragon, based on what?
Performance
Gaming capabilities
Fast charging(Fastcharge 4.0)
Support for better camera
Better battery optimisation
4K editing
Heat management

or what?

Should i continue?


No, stop there grin

This is 2018 .. why will someone need to change Imei.. to get free data? Smh.. android users sha
Re: Is Qualcomm Snapdragon Chip Overrated? by Behankey(m): 2:55pm On Apr 30, 2018
I think it is slightly overrated. Mediatek gets bashed here daily but most people don't even know the differences. Most especially Tecno phones and the likes. Coz they run on mediatek don't make them vain. P.S. I use an exynos powered device and also a mediatek device.

No, not because of free data. We've gone past that.

Most people change IMEI to avoid being tracked. After changing IMEI though, the phone can still be tracked but it makes the job more difficult for the tracker. Another reason, when fixing a corrupted IMEI (null or invalid IMEI).

In many countries, changing IMEI could land you in jail.

Avoid being tracked? that sounds a lot like a make believe excuse

Of course, Samsung phones imei can be changed as well, but with much more efforts!

Technical aspect of things

Snapdragon-Open source. Custom roms can easily be compiled from source and it's usually bug free

MediaTek-Closed source.Not friendly to custom roms and roms are usually ported with bugs

In terms of manufacturing process, gpu and cpu, snapdragon takes the lead and it's not Overrated.
Did you say open source? Do your research before misleading people, I'm currently running a custom rom on my Gionee phone with MTK chips! cool
