In the past 2017, Qualcomm has performed well in the middle and low end markets, capturing many market shares originally belonging to MediaTek. Even Meizu, who has always loved MediaTek, has begun to switch to Qualcomm processors (mobile platforms).

Although MediaTek itself positioned the X30 series as its flagship product, and even Meizu used the X30 on its flagship product Pro 7 last year in cooperation with the performance, the fact is that the performance of the X30 is far from high-end, let alone flagship. MediaTek has confirmed that it will bring us two real high-end products P40 P70， Both adopt the high-end standard architecture of 4 * A73+4 * A53, although its GPU

In fact, in addition to the two "high-end" products, P40 and P70, MediaTek also has a low-end artifact, P38, ready to launch. According to foreign media, MediaTek P38 will be a very cost-effective product. It still retains the architecture of 4 * A73+4 * A53, and it is also a 12nm process, but the dominant frequency is lower, perhaps 1.6~1.8GHz. The GPU is a lower frequency Mali-G72 MP3.

The foreign media said that although P38 looks OK, due to the low price strategy of MediaTek, this SoC is likely to be used by some major cost-effective brands in the middle and low end product lines, especially the Chinese mobile phone manufacturer Xiaomi.
