There is no denying the fact that the brand MediaTek has grown tremendously over the years. We have many chipset manufacturers however in the recent past, two brands namely, MediaTek and Qualcomm have managed to be on top of the scoreboards.

MediaTek designs SOCs based on the ARM’s architecture and these chips can be seen in devices from brands like Lenovo, Moto, Nokia, Xiaomi, Oppo, ZTE, Vivo, etc.

In late 2019, MediaTek launched their Dimensity Series that is extremely powerful and can give good competition to high-end Snapdragon & Exynos chips. Though MediaTek chips have been criticized a lot in the past by reviewers, their performance has improved significantly in recent years. Many mid-range & budget SOCs such as Helio P60 and Helio P22, offer better value for money than any of their competitors. MediaTek sits alongside Qualcomm as one of the most important third-party chipmakers in the Android smartphone ecosystem. The Taiwanese company’s processors are in loads of handsets around the world.

Let’s look at a few of the phones that have been launched with few of the best MediaTek Dimensity chipsets integrated in them
