the license costs are basically non existent

@Make i thought helio generation was great.

no

teach me

For a manufactorer, licensing a mediatek SOC is even cheaper than licensing rockchip

teach me @Make

mediakek battery efficiency is shit poor

thats it?

no custom rom support really, they don't often release source images

or the chinks who license mediatek are doing it on the cheap and don't care to

plus there's ten million mediatek phones and only a handful get official support because they're mostly throwaway devices by no name companies

well we had to sign a ton of NDAs to see a single demo chip

well mediakek phones loses to sd625 phones with 2000mAh smaller batteries

don't they also violate gpl licenseing

so of course there are no drivers

yeah I don't think most people would care if mediatek was inside but they aren't very /g/

they offer the best price-performance though

really those chips are basically free

as in free beer*

i mean

is mediatek really that bad

apart from little support

if the support wasn't that bad i feel like it would have been a very viable sd competitor

the dont release data that xda devs need

if they release kernal source

they'd have more support

damn

leeco can't afford to pay it's own workers
