MediaTek announces the Helio P95 SoC with APU 2.0 AI accelerator, HyperEngine game technology, and more

-

MediaTek has announced a new addition to its Helio family with the launch of the Helio P95 processor. The MediaTek Helio P95 is a successor to the Helio P90 that was launched back in December 2018 and brings along several improvements across GPU, camera, connectivity, and AI.

By and large, the Helio P95 isn’t a drastic upgrade over its predecessor. It continues to employ the same CPU architecture, featuring 2x ARM Cortex-A75 performance cores clocked at 2.2GHz and 6x ARM Cortex-A55 efficiency cores running at 2.0GHz. The PowerVR GM 9446 GPU is also unchanged from the last generation but MediaTek says it now offers 10% more performance. The AI Processing Unit (APU) has also received a claimed 10% performance gain over the last generation.

The Helio P95’s triple Image Signal Processor (ISP) now supports a single 64MP sensor, a step up from 48MP, or up to 24MP and 16MP in dual camera setup and can handle 14-bit RAW and 10-bit YUV processing. It also receives a range of AI-based camera enhancements including 5-person human pose tracking, full-body avatar AR, 3D pose tracking, AR/MR‌ acceleration, and a new AK-NR low-light camera mode.

For gaming, the Helio P95 supports the MediaTek HyperEngine technology, the first in the P-series, which according to the company, offers various hardware and software-level enhancements for an improved gaming experience.

In terms of connectivity, the MediaTek Helio P95 features 4G LTE WorldMode modem with LTE Cat-12 download and Cat-13 upload speeds. It also supports Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, 4×4 MIMO, 3CA, 256QAM, and 4G dual SIM VoLTE.

MediaTek hasn’t revealed when we should expect to see devices hitting the market with the Helio P95. But given the chipset’s modest improvements, it’s safe to assume its application will be limited to the budget and entry-level smartphones.

Motorola’s foldable Razr phone may be announced before year’s end

-
While Samsung’s saga with the Galaxy Fold appears to finally be coming to an end , there are other foldables destined to be released soon. The Huawei Mate X is the other big name, but it has been delayed a couple of times as well. The other foldable device that we’ve heard about a few times is the rumored Motorola Razr reboot, and a new report claims an announcement is coming this year still. Earlier this year, reports suggested Motorola would launch its foldable phone this summer. That time has come and gone without a peep from Motorola, but a new report claims it’s still coming this year. This information comes from a person close to the company speaking to CNET . It’s unlikely that the device will actually be sold this year, but we should at least see the device before 2020. Motorola has already confirmed that they are working on a foldable smartphone. The “Razr” name was also confirmed by a Bluetooth certification. We exclusively reported on the specifications of the device ,...

Behind Dynamic System Updates in Android Q: How Google is using Project Treble to improve future Android releases

-
Image
Alongside the release of Android 8.0 Oreo, Google unveiled Project Treble : a major rearchitecting in the way the Android OS framework and the vendor HALs and Linux kernel communicate. Treble is a major initiative designed to reduce Android platform version and security patch fragmentation , and all Android-branded devices launching with Android Pie are required to support Project Treble. OEMs and vendors test Treble compatibility by booting a Generic System Image (GSI)—a pure stock build of Android from AOSP—and passing the Vendor Test Suite (VTS) and Compatibility Test Suite-on-Generic System Image (CTS-on-GSI). The GSI has proven useful in not only allowing software engineers working for OEMs test Treble compatibility, but it has also opened the door for a large custom ROM community on XDA. For the Android Q release, Google wants to make GSIs useful for another group: app developers. Since the first stable release and source code drop of any given Android platform release usual...
