There are a lot of people who may not know which one they should pick between Snapdragon and Mediatek. There are a lot of experts who say that Snapdragon is considered to be a more reliable chipset as compared to Mediatek which is why people would normally choose gadgets that will come with Snapdragon chipsets.

When it comes to cost-effectiveness though, Mediatek is obviously the clear winner which is why some people would choose this chipset more. There was a time when Mediatek was also used for more high-end gadgets but right now, this is being used for mid−range products. The last high-end product wherein Mediatek was used was back in 2017.

MediaTek creates Helio chipsets. The processor can be commonly found in devices that the Chinese manufacture, such as the smartphones by Sony. This processor has been criticized over the fact that it gets really hot. Another source of criticism is in regards to the battery, which is consumed at a much faster rate.

Snapdragon processors are in Qualcomm devices such as the Samsung and HTC phones. It has many advantages over MediaTek including the fact that it has less battery and it has improved graphics. This processor is used in the best smartphone devices that are available on the market.

Helio chipsets were manufactured by MediaTek. Those MediaTek processors were found mostly in Sony smartphones and some other weak electronic devices made in China. MediaTek is way cheaper than Exynos and Qualcomm. MediaTek is being criticized basically because it warms up quickly and rapidly reaches a high temperature.

Snapdragon 810 also had this same issue. The Qualcomm processors are very popular for their snapdragon series. They are presently the best processors in the market. MediaTek is a multinational semiconductor industry that was established about 23 years ago. Its headquarters is located in Hsinchu‎, Taiwan.

While Snapdragon, on the other hand, is a processor produced by Qualcomm, which is a semiconductor and Information Technology instrument manufacturing company, whose headquarters is located in San Diego, California, U.S. It was established in the year 1985. The MediaTek chipsets do consume power a lot, which results in shortened battery life, but snapdragon is power effective and is better on that front.

Foremost, MediaTek is the manufacturer of powerful and affordable Helio chipsets. MediaTek processors are usually present in some devices that are manufactured by the Chinese, and typically in Sony Smartphone. The major advantage of MediaTek over Exynos and Qualcomm is the fact that it can be obtained at a very cheaper rate and still have relatively the same performance.

However, MediaTek has been greatly criticized because it easily gets very hot. In addition, MediaTek consumes battery faster. On the other hand, the snapdragon series is well attached to the Qualcomm processors, which are reckoned with to be the best in the market presently. The best smartphones nowadays actually have the premium model present in them.

The major advantages that the snapdragon has are that it consumes less battery, stand out speed, and graphics improvement. The Chinese make use of this product in their best smartphones, which include HTC 10, Xiaomi Mi 5, Samsung Galaxy S7, One Plus 3, and LG G5.
