Of all companies currently in the smartphone chipset game (which include Apple, Google and Unisoc), MediaTek was found to have shipped the most units in the last quarter of 2023 (4Q2023) and to have had one of the best rates of year-on-year (YoY) growth, with rivals such as Qualcomm and Samsung flat or flagging by comparison. Then again, the Taiwanese OEM was not the one that made the most money in that time.
Most units shipped doesn’t mean most popular. In my experience Mediatek SOCs are the worst. They are the cheapest, but also the worst. I would take any Samsung or Qualcomm over them.
Hmm, I disagree. While they may be cheaper. They are certainly not worse. The dimensity 9300 for example is a flagship SoC which can match or even surpass the 8 gen 3. I have used quite a few mediatek powered smartphones. They are a solid performer overall. For the same price you get either a weak Qualcomm SoC or a heating Exynos from samsung. In that regard they are very good.
Doesn’t Samsung use Qualcomm chips?
They also have their own chips named Exynos
Could you elaborate please? I’d really like to know what issue you had.
Thanks
