A couple weeks back a rumor about Oppo’s sub-brand Realme using the new MediaTek Helio P70 spread online, that rumor is today confirmed by Chinese media.
According to the report, Madhav Sheth – Realme’s CEO – officially announced that the brand is going to launch new phones with the previously mentioned SoC world wide.
MediaTek’s Helio P70 uses a newer 12nm FinFET manufacturing process and is comprised of eight cores, of which four are Cortex-A73 cores at 2.1 GHz and four Cortex-A53 units at 2 GHz, plus a Mali G72 GPU.

The new chipset should bring slightly better performance on the next Realme phones, along with a 10% to 30% faster AI processing and other tasks like using the voice assistant, face unlocking and more. Finally the P70 is expected to pack better camera algorithm to get better photos in Portrait Mode, Scene Recognition and Face Optimization.
Madhav Sheth also added that the phones might get Oppo’s super fast VOOC charging, but we somehow doubt the tech will be available on lower-end handsets.
Cortex-A73? Why not A-76??
This P70 is just a P60 with a slight higher clock speed and a new AI NPU. It does not upgrade the big cores from A73 to A75 or A76 and the small cores from A53 to A55 or A56. Even the GPU does not have more cores or better cores from the older G72, its just slightly higher clock speed from 600Mhz to 650 Mhz.
NO BIG DEAL OR BETTER TECH, JUST A SLIGHT CLOCK SPEED BOOST which eats into the battery also!
