The chip features dual channel LPDDR3 memory clocked at 933 MHz, MediaTek’s CorePilot to unlock up to eight cores, 480fps 1080p Full HD super-slow motion video, support for Wi-Fi 802.11ac/Bluetooth/FM/GPS/Glonass/Beidou/ANT+, 120 Hz mobile display with response time technology, multi-mode wireless charging, integrated, low-power hardware support for H.265 Ultra HD (4K2K) video record and playback and support for Rel. 9, Category 4 FDD and TDD LTE.
Jeffrey Ju, general manager of the MediaTek Smartphone Business Unit, said in a statement that the introduction of the MT6795 will “enable limitless opportunities for our partners and end users, while setting the bar even higher for our competition.” He added that the 64-bit LTE SoC product will allow Mediatek to “lead the industry in delivering premium mobile user experiences for years to come.”
