We are in full deployment of Android 12 and all its news. That is why everyone wants to enjoy this facelift for Google’s software as soon as possible. Unfortunately, there is no other option but to wait. Above all, for those who have a mobile phone with a MediaTek processor.
The Chinese company is nothing more and nothing less than the main CPU manufacturer along with Qualcomm, although the first is a little above. However, this does not exempt him from suffering a problem that a Xiaomi executive has expressed. According to his statements, the phones that integrate this type of chip would receive the updates later. This seems to indicate that Qualcomm is not above only in power, but also in this section.
Different working methods
The rivalry between both brands is nothing new. It is true that MediaTek currently occupies the first position as a provider, but in terms of performance the American firm has always been ahead. This would have been extrapolated to software.
The executive of the Asian technology giant, Li Ming , has explained the reason for this event. In a period prior to the launch of the respective versions of the system, the big G provides the various companies with the code they need to adapt the processor to the new update. However, the methods for this are not exactly the same.
Apparently and based on data from Gizmochina , the person in charge of developing the Snapdragon CPU would have a much larger team at its disposal to fine-tune its chips according to the operating system. This translates into greater effectiveness in preparing what is necessary for each update faster thanks to simultaneous work.
Instead, when it comes to MediaTek’s service process , it is done in sets or batches . This implies a more pronounced slowness, since they cannot start with the next one without having finished the procedure of the previous one. Of course, this methodology guarantees to find possible malfunctions more efficiently.
clear disadvantage
The simple fact of having smaller equipment compared to its rival is a clear disadvantage in any sector, including telephony and especially processors. It should be noted that MediaTek has not done anything official about it, but the brands have a direct relationship with those responsible for the production of their chips. This means that it is almost certain that they know the processes perfectly.
Still, not everything is negative. With the processors of the Asian company, the user obtains a guarantee with which he is sure to avoid the errors that the Android update may experience. In addition, the cost of smartphones that have them is significantly lower.
The decision depends entirely on the consumer and their preferences. If you want an affordable mobile phone, you will have to wait a longer amount of time to see first-hand everything that future versions bring with them.
