  • Part 1: Battery saving features of MTK MT6589 / MTK6589 and Qualcomm MSM8225Q / MSM8625Q
  • Part 2: GPUs in MTK MT6589 / MTK6589 and Qualcomm MSM8225Q / MSM8625Q
  • Part 3: Memory/ Encoding and Decoding / Official Resolution Support

Now in part 4 we’ll finish it up with a few odds and ends:

  • The camera support for MTK MT6589 / MTK6589 will be 13mp, while Qualcomm MSM8225Q / MSM8625Q will be a paltry 8mp. Yes, MediaTek / MTK has spanked Qualcomm again.
  • Qualcomm 8225Q will support WCDMA, and Qualcomm 8625Q will support WCDMA as well as CDMA. MTK MT6589 / MTK6589 will support WCDMA and TDSCDMA.

So, now we’ve determined that MediaTek’s MTK MT6589 / MTK6589 easily beats out Qualcomm MSM8225Q / MSM8625Q by significantly besting it in several key areas – video encoding / decoding, camera and GPU.

Coming up next, which should conclude this series, the Qualcomm MSM8930 S4 Plus beating out MTK, and why you likely shouldn’t care.

    Comparison should be against the Snapdragon S4 Pro ? This comparison seems not impartial as it details are of different generations of processors.

      Hi Chi Am, It’s different lines, not different generations. Obviously Qualcomm’s high-end Pro line is going to be a significantly better performer than MTK MT6588 / MTK6588 which is aimed at budget consumers same as Qualcomm’s Play and Plus.
