i don't have much knowledge about the chipset and different processor used in the phones but i have a question.
i want to buy a mid-range phone , i shortlisted these 2 phones.
http://igyaan.in/2013/01/35923/exclusive-hands-on-micromax-a116-canvas-hd/ and the huawei ascend g600
a friend of mine said that they use mediatek processors which are not as good as snapdragon.
so the question is why these phones are offered at less prices , micromax is offering quad core for half the price of ,say for example , samsung galaxy s3 or why MTK processor are so less expensive than the snapdragon ? and what i'll be compromising with if i buy a MTK processor
are these cheap processors reliable ?
for mods : i searched the forum but didn't find any related topic so created a new thread.
so i just found out that micromax a116 uses MediaTek's MT6589 1.2 GHz quad-core processor and the huawei ascend g600 uses Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8260
so which one is good and more reliable ? both micromax and huawei have very low reputation in my country so that's why i'm asking all this.
I'm gonna buy a smartphone. But my question is what chipset should I prefer!?
I want to customize my android. After some research, I found out that Mediatek smartphones(like Letv le 1s) offers more customizing tools,easy root and easily modification of ROM.(Mtk droid tools,etc)
While on the other side Snapdragon{ like Xiaomi Redmi Note 3(SD) } doesn't offer much customization tools,easy root and modification of ROM.
So which on should I buy for this purpose?
Efforts are appreciated in advance.
Thanks!
Actually sanpdragon is much better than mediatek... Sanpdragon has very good supporting community and development than mediatek. If you look to the past, early stage gcam only supports in smartphone which have Snapdragon SoC. But recently mediatek dimensity 1200U is one of the good processor....
So, I personally prefer Snapdragon....
For anybody who (maybe) will buy the Redmi Pro... Xiaomi also sell phones in India, but they can not sell MediaTek devices, so the need a Snapdragon version, like on the Redmi Note 3.
I just post this to warn you, if you never had a Xiaomi device before. Just wait a lil bit and you will get a better version for the same price.
Whats bad with mediatek? I had meizu mx5 and it worked great.

xiaomi has some patent issue with Ericsson and they can only sell qualcomm devices in india as per Delhi high court orders. Xiaomi already has Mi max at the same price bracket. i don't think they will bring redmi pro to India.

If its the Indian variant it lost all appeal -_-"
BTW, yeah don't buy MTK variant or you will be stuck on the shipped android version forever, no custom roms, nada.
I don't even think Xiaomi is gonna release it with Qualcomm. You know, Deca-Core is the thing they're marketing for Redmi Pro. But there's no Qualcomm SoC having 10 cores. The whole idea behind a "Pro" Redmi is 10-cores and OLED. As you know, they can't release MtK device in India. So, there's will not be any Redmi Pro without MTK. Thus, don't wait for a Qualcomm variant. You'll wait forever.

The GPU is not only for games but the Snapdragon version will be much better. About 2 months you will get a better Redmi Pro for almost the same price, like with the Redmi Note 3.

Read my comment posted above. There'll not be any Qualcomm variant of Redmi Pro.
Thats what you think but thats not important, because Xiaomi will sell phones. No India means no good for xjaomi, so the have to rls a snapdragon version.
India is very important for xiaomi so they surely shall release it with sd 652 (maybe).

Dear Klanac,
I am planning to replace Mi 5 Pro with Redmi Pro, but may you advise us what's the problem with MediaTek devices as this device will have X25T version which is better than Snapdragon 820 version.
Thanks.

India is a big market and like by the Redmi Note 3 they will bring a Snapdragon version or talk with Ericsson...

The problem is the GPU. Also when you won't play games. Maybe on paper is the X25 better but when you use a Note 3 Pro, it feels even better than any X25 device.
Just wait a lil bit and after Note 2 release you will se another version of the Redmi Pro.
I dont understand why you hate Mediatek so much. I had MX5 and it was nearly as fast as RN3 Pro. And there was Helio X10 and I'm talking about daily usage.

There's no guarantee that Xiaomi will release a Snapdragon variant just because it did it with the RN3. It may release only the RP Mini to India; why else would they release the Mini with a Snapdragon processor? It costs Xiaomi more.
Also, I previously owned both variants of the RN3, and the MediaTek version's camera was superior to the Snapdragon's camera.
I've already ordered the MediaTek variant and plan to run the developer ROM until TWRP and xiaomi.eu support appear.
Which one is better and more reliable? I am confused between Realmente 5 pro and Redmi Note 8 pro.

Qualcomm is better quality but tends to be more expensive than Mediatek.
Mediatek has better specs for the price, but the quality isn't very good.
