MediaTek has lately been focused on better competing against Qualcomm especially in the mid-range smartphone market. The company had earlier launched the MediaTek Helio G90T chipset which was present in the Redmi Note 8 Pro, and now, MediaTek has announced the Helio G70 and Helio G70T chipsets for budget gaming smartphones.
The chipset doesn’t come with support for 5G, not that we were expecting it to, and neither will the chipset support WiFi 6. It does bring a host of location services in tow including support for GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and Beidou. However, support for India’s homegrown NavIC isn’t mentioned, while there are reports that Qualcomm is working on bringing NavIC support to its chipsets this year.
