In November 2017, the company said it would take a step back from flagship offerings to focus on the mid-market, where it has historically thrived. We saw the first fruit of this strategy this week: MediaTek announced the AI-infused Helio P60, a system-on-chip designed for affordable devices. The Helio P60 adopts ARM's big.LITTLE architecture, dividing workloads between eight cores: four powerful ARM A73 cores and four power-efficient ARM A53 cores. Altogether, it's 70% faster than the Helio P23 and the Helio P30 in terms of GPU and CPU performance. And thanks to support for Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) and a new 12nm FinFET manufacturing process, it's up to 25% more efficient in some cases (12% in demanding workloads). The Helio P60 also has MediaTek's AI technology, NeuroPilot, built in. It's powered by a mobile APU (Artificial intelligence Processing Unit), a dedicated core for AI tasks. "Building on our legacy of innovative technology, the new MediaTek Helio P60 changes everything about what consumers can expect in a smartphone," said TL Lee, General Manager of MediaTek's Wireless Communication business unit. "Packing big core power and performance with a processing unit purpose-built for AI applications, the MediaTek Helio P60 chipset brings consumers flagship features like deep-learning facial detection, object and scene identification, fluid gaming experiences, and smarter camera functions. This new chipset gives everyone access to incredible devices without the premium price tag." With support for the Google Android Neural Networks API as well as the mobile APU, devices with the Helio P60 accelerate TensorFlow, TF Lite, Caffe, and Caffe2 in the same way newer high-end Qualcomm Snapdragon-powered chips can. Finally, the Helio P60's three Image Signal Processors (ISPs) lead to 18% efficiency gains in dual-camera devices up to 20MP+16MP, or single-sensor 32MP devices. Smartphones powered by the MediaTek Helio P60 will be available globally by Q2 2018.

Now, a new smartphone from CENTRiC Mobiles called CENTRiC L3 is launched in India. The latest CENTRiC L3 is priced at Rs. 6,749 and offers great value for money specifications. At this price, the device comes with a polycarbonate shell and we can't complain much about that. The CENTRiC L3 will be available in Quartz Grey and Raisin Black color options. On the front is a 5-inch IPS Oncell display with HD (1280 x 720 pixels) resolution. There is also a 2.5D curved glass laid on the top. It also includes a 64-bit MediaTek MT6737 quad-core processor clocked at 1.3GHz and it comes coupled with Mali T720MP GPU. There is 2GB of RAM and 16GB of onboard storage. The CENTRiC L3 includes a dedicated MicroSD card slot for expanding the storage upto 256GB. It runs on Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box. The device also supports dual SIM dual standby and offers VoLTE and ViLTE connectivity. In terms of optics, there is a 13MP shooter on the rear with LED flash and a 5MP shooter on the front for selfies. Both the cameras can record videos only upto 720p resolution. It is backed by a 3050mAh non-removable battery that is rated to give up to 23 hours of talk time and lasts up to 80 hours in standby mode. Beneath the display is the front-facing fingerprint sensor. The CENTRiC L3 also includes 3-axis accelerometer, proximity, and light sensors. It measures 141 x 70.5 x 8.6 mm and weighs 143 grams. Connectivity options include 4G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, FM Radio, GPS, USB OTG, 3.5mm audio jack, and a MicroUSB 2.0 port. Instead of the capacitive navigation buttons, the smartphone comes with on-screen buttons. Compared to other smartphones in this price range, the CENTRiC L3 offers a bigger battery and better cameras.
