Budget smartphones are reaching a new level

Mediatek is well known for producing low-cost chips based on ARM architecture, which are commonly used in budget smartphones from Chinese or Indian manufacturers. The latest quad-core Mediatek MT6589 chip on the ARM Cortex-A7 shows that it is not able to compete in performance with its counterparts on the Google Nexus 4 or HTC Butterfly, but its level is comparable to the best processors of last year.

The results of the tests MT6589 installed on the Indian smartphone Micromax Canvas HD A116 appeared in the network . Below you can see the results in Antutu, which are very impressive. What is the fact that the Samsung Galaxy S III is left behind.

In addition, there are test results in GLBenchmark Egypt, where the smartphone scored 4866 points. Given that the price of Micromax Canvas HD A116 is $ 277, the figures are very decent. Other features of the device include 1 GB of RAM, 5-inch screen with a resolution of 720p, 4 GB of internal memory, 2 slots for SIM-cards, as well as the operating system Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

This year we should see a lot of smartphones and phablets on a new chip from a Taiwanese company. Given their performance, as well as the low value, large manufacturers will probably have to reconsider their attitude to the budget segment of smartphones.
