MediaTek unleashes two new mid-range chipsets - the Helio P23 and the Helio P30

-



As we told you before, MediaTek announced two new chipsets to the SoC market today - the Helio P23 and the Helio P30. Devices with the ICs will hit the market in the last quarter of 2017, but the P30 will be available only in China.
Helio P23
Helio P30
CPU
4 Cortex A53 cores @ 2.3 GHz, 4 Cortex A53 cores @ 1.65 GHz

Like all Helio P-series chipsets, the P23 and the P30 come with octa-core CPU (four Cortex-A53 clocked at 2.3 GHz and four more at 1.65 GHz). The GPU is provided by Mali and is the G71MP2 with respectively 770 MHz or 950 MHz frequency. This comes as an update from the Mali T880 configuration in the P20 and the P25.



According to MediaTek, the new SoC incorporate newer generation IP block to bring them closer to the flagship Helio X30 (currently available only in the Meizu Pro 7 Plus that arrived for a review). The company also put all the specifics in simpler terms - the P23 and the P30 will provide more versatility when browsing, taking pictures with the dual camera setup and sharing them.



The P23 can support dual 13 MP cameras or a single 24 MP sensor, while the P30 goes as high as 16 MP dual or 25 MP single cam on the back. According to sources, MediaTek now incorporated DSDS (Dual Sim Dual Standby) mode, enabling both SIM cards to run LTE connection.



MediaTek says there is global interest for the Helio P23, but the P30 will stay in China, mostly because of its price. This might eventually change if there is demand from manufacturers.

Updated Google Contacts app makes it easier to get rid of duplicates

Google is pushing out an updated version of its contacts management app, bringing some of the features available in the web version to the Android app. The v 1.5 update reorganizes the user interface of Google Contacts. Instead of the two tabs – all and favorites – the app now just displays your entire contact list, with a sidebar menu available via the hamburger button on the left. Opening that up reveals a new section for managing duplicate contacts. That’s a feature that was present on the web app of Contacts , but the process was more convoluted on the Android app. You can now also add labels to your contacts, making it easy to organize large contact lists based on groups, for things like family, work, or school. That’s another feature that was present on the web app and it’s now finally making the jump to the Android app, a place where it’s actually more likely to be used. Google Contacts 1.5 is currently rolling out to all users, so it should land on your ...

The Nokia 3310 is back, but it's not exactly a pretty sight

Just like the rumor-vine predicted, HMD didn't skip on the opportunity to ride the nostalgia wave and reincarnate the legendary Nokia 3310 for a second go on the 2017 mobile scene. We are sure opinions will be polarized on the EUR 49 feature-phone, but that definitely fits into the whole idea. Whether you find it unsightly, or enjoy its colorful and playful looks, the new 3310 will definitely get fans talking, even if not necessarily buying. Again, as far as design goes, you will just have to judge for yourself. The new 3310 measure only 115.6 x 51 x 12.8 mm and is plastic all around. HMD claims it did the best it can to recreate the original 3310 rounded shape and silhouette. The rounded buttons on the retro keypad definitely hit home. However, the 2.4-inch QVGA display and the curved and polarized layer on top, do look a bit off. So do the buttons on the front.
