With on going pressure from Qualcomm and their Snapdragon 410

64-BIT LTE
chipset to
MWC.
According to reports from Taiwan, Mediatek will unveil the Mediatek
mid-range MT6732 and high-end MT6752 chipsets at
MWC. Full details are unconfirmed but it is thought that both processors will have built-in 4G LTE support and built on ARM Cortex A53 architecture.
Sources tell us the MT6732 is a quad-core chipset running at up to 1.5Ghz. The
mid-range processor will be able to support up to
13 mega-pixel cameras, and
