MediaTek introduces new flagship smartphone SoC

MediaTek has launched the MT6795, its new flagship smartphone 64-bit True Octa-core LTE smartphone system on chip (SoC) with the world’s first 2K display support. 

The SoC will accelerate the global transition to LTE and create opportunities for device makers to gain first-mover advantage with premium devices in the 64-bit Android era, the company said, and will have speeds of up to 2.2GHz. 

The SoC leverages MediaTek’s CorePilot technology for multi-processor performance and thermal control, as well as dual-channel LPDDR3 clocked at 933MHz for top-end memory bandwidth in a smartphone. The high-performance SoC also features multimedia subsystems that support technologies never before possible or seen in a smartphone, including support for 120Hz displays and the capability to create and play back video recorded at 480 frames per second (fps) 1080p Full HD, a feature that MediaTek calls Super-Slow Motion.

MT6795 completes MediaTek’s 64-bit LTE SoC product portfolio: MT6795 is positioned for power users, MT6752 for mainstream users and MT6732 for entry level users.
