MT6738V

The MT6738V is a chipset designed for budget smartphones, offering a mix of affordable performance and essential features. Here’s a more in-depth look at the chipset’s performance and capabilities:

Performance and Efficiency:

The MT6738V is powered by a quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU that clocks up to 1.5 GHz. This allows it to handle light tasks like email, web browsing, and social media quite well. The device is suitable for users who don’t require high-end performance and primarily use their smartphones for basic operations.

While the chipset performs adequately for entry-level smartphones, it’s not designed for heavy multitasking or intensive applications. If you're looking for a phone to run resource-demanding apps or play high-end games, this chipset will not meet those needs. However, for users who focus on basic smartphone functionalities, it should be sufficient.

With the 28nm process, the MT6738V offers efficient power consumption, allowing the device to last through a full day of light usage. While it doesn’t match the energy efficiency of 14nm or 10nm processors, it is still a good fit for budget phones aiming to deliver long-lasting battery life without compromising too much on performance.

Graphics and Gaming:

The PowerVR GE8100 GPU in the MT6738V is capable of handling basic graphics tasks such as video streaming and casual gaming. It supports HD video playback, meaning users can watch YouTube or Netflix in 720p or 1080p resolution without issues.

For gaming, the PowerVR GE8100 can run light games such as Candy Crush or Subway Surfers smoothly. However, graphics-intensive games like PUBG Mobile or Call of Duty Mobile will either be unplayable or run with very low settings and significant frame drops.

For users who don’t prioritize gaming or high-performance multimedia but still want a solid media consumption experience, the MT6738V offers a decent experience.

Camera and Imaging:

The MT6738V supports single-camera setups up to 13 MP, and dual-camera configurations of up to 8 MP + 5 MP. This enables users to take decent photos for everyday use. The camera is suitable for capturing basic snapshots, especially in good lighting conditions.

For low-light environments, the camera performance may not be as impressive as higher-end chipsets. However, the MT6738V still delivers acceptable photos for an entry-level device.

The chipset supports 720p video recording, which is standard for budget smartphones. Users can capture basic videos for social media or personal use.

Connectivity:

The MT6738V supports 4G LTE with Category 4 LTE, offering download speeds up to 150 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 50 Mbps. This provides users with fast internet access for browsing, social media, and streaming. However, the speeds are more suited to casual use, as more advanced chipsets can offer faster speeds.

The Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) support ensures that users have reliable internet connectivity for standard web browsing and media consumption. The Bluetooth 4.2 support enables wireless communication with devices such as headphones, smartwatches, and fitness trackers.

The FM radio feature is an added bonus, allowing users to enjoy live radio without the need for an internet connection.

Power Efficiency:

Thanks to its 28nm process, the MT6738V is designed for power efficiency, ensuring that users can enjoy long battery life even with a budget-friendly chipset. For users primarily using their devices for basic tasks, the device can last through a full day of usage without requiring frequent recharging.
