Like we mentioned above, the shipments for the Helio M70 will start in the year 2019. MediaTek has clearly plans in place to establish a good hold over the market before 5G phones start hitting the stores. Under this, the company’s planned production and shipments will start six months before the planned schedule.

MediaTek CEO, Rick Tsai also said in an official statement to DigiTimes that the company is making full use of its IPs, patents and the technologies at disposal to bring the best experience of 5G and AI to the consumers. MediaTek, with this new development, can vastly propel 5G technology by aiding smartphone manufacturers in availing economic 5G connectivity based chipsets.

Although MediaTek’s SoCs fail to touch the performance levels set by Qualcomm’s chipsets, MT’s SoCs cost way less for the smartphone makers in comparison to the Qualcomm chipsets. The entry of MediaTek in the 5G chipset market means that people are going to have access to budget-oriented 5G phones in the market very soon. To emphasise on the same, the company has said that it would make a grand entry in the year 2019, and then added that it would accelerate its shipments in the year 2020-2022.
