Mediatek To Unveil 5G Chipsets With Helio H70 Modem On November 26

Taiwanese fabless semiconductor company, MediaTek, has announced plans to unveil its first mobile processor with 5G connectivity at an event in Taipei on November 26. Designated as the MT6885Z, the upcoming 5G chipset from MediaTek is expected to be built on the 7nm FinFET process, which should make it fairly energy efficient. It is likely to ship next year with the Helio M70 5G modem, which is expected to offer SA/ NSA dual-mode connectivity.

While MediaTek is yet to officially announce the exact tech specs of either of the upcoming chips, recent rumors suggest that the MT6885 should include Cortex-A77 CPU cores and the Mali-G77 GPU. It is also said to offer sub-6 GHz frequency support, a third-generation AI processing engine, camera support of up to 80MP and 4K video recording support at up to 60fps.
