I’m planning on getting another phone and I did some research on alternatives to the Samsung galaxy grand prime so I settled for this phone (dual sim). Problem is it comes in two variants: The 620 which has LTE and quad core processor chipset and the 620G which comes with 3g and an octa-core processor chipset. I reasoned since 4g isn’t something much to look at here in this our country (and safcom will lie as always) I’ll go for the 620G. Now where my attention got piqued is the pricing. The 620 is priced a bit higher than the 620G. On closer inspection I found that the 620 has a Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410 at 1.2 Ghz with Adreno 306 (cortex A53) and the 620G has Mediatek MT6592 at 1.7 Ghz with Mali450MP (cortex A7)
According to ARM, the A53 is better (kinda like i7 and i5) than the A7 but in this case the A53 is clocked slower and is 4 cores less than the A7.
Reviews on the mediatek chipset are negative after it was used in some alcatel handset and it performed poorly and comparisons of the two don’t bring out a clear winner. I’m stuck
What’s wrong with that? I was looking for alternatives for the grand prime, I found the two HTC’s. Where’s the problem with what I’ve posted? Ama unanit pick sentensi juu ulifunzwa grammar leo darasani?
snapdragon is always a winner in the world of chipsets,u might also have realized tht most high end devices are equipped with snapdragon SoC…my experience with snap is tht its a power saver plus device dosent heat up on prolonged usage…on the other hand mediatek is a biatch, even most Exynos chipsets are a birches too…u can find mediatek in all Teknos with very poor experience especially for ppl who mobile fon like a comp itachemka ufikirie kuitupa kwa maji
