Recent reports have revealed that Vivo will be launching the Vivo S1 smartphone soon in India. A new Vivo phone that has a model number of Vivo V1913A has been benchmarked on Geekbench. Since it is powered by MediaTek Helio P6768 chipset, it is being speculated that the Vivo V1913A could be the upcoming Vivo S1 smartphone for India.

The Vivo V1913A Geekbench listing reveals that is powered by the MediaTek MT6768 chipset has a base frequency of 1.70 GHz. It is nothing but the all new Helio P65 chipset. The SoC is supported by 6 GB of RAM and the handset runs on Android 9 Pie OS. In the single-core test, the Vivo V1913A has scored 1818 points and it has recorded a score of 6019 points in the multi-core test. In the previous month, the Vivo V1913A had appeared with its images and full specifications on TENAA.

A recent leak had revealed that the Vivo S1 that will be arriving in soon in India will be the first phone to be fueled by the MediaTek Helio P65. The leaked image (shown below) also carried the key specs of the smartphone. Apparently, the Vivo V1913A’s images and specs that appeared on TENAA seems to match with Vivo S1 shown in the leaked image. Hence, there is a possibility that the Vivo V1913A that has appeared on Geekbench could be the Vivo S1 smartphone.

The post Alleged Vivo S1 Geekbench listing reveals MediaTek Helio P65 appeared first on Gizmochina.

In late March, Vivo announced the Vivo S1 in China as the first of a new series. The phone is now heading to launch in India. However, while it shares the same name as the Chinese model, leaked live photos show it has a different design. The complete specifications of the phone have also leaked and it reveals the phone will come with a brand new chipset from MediaTek called the Helio P65.

The Vivo S1 Indian Edition will not have a notch-free display like its Chinese sibling of the same name. It also doesn’t have a pop-up selfie camera. Instead, there is a waterdrop notch for the selfie camera.

While it does have triple cameras too, the sensors are different and the design also differs. The length of the housing is shorter, the sensors are closer to each other and not separated by the LED flash which itself has a different shape. The Indian variant also has an in-display fingerprint scanner which Vivo calls “Screen Touch ID”.

Coming to the specs, the Indian model has a smaller 6.38-inch display but an AMOLED panel and not LCD. It swaps the Helio P70 for a new Helio P65. The processor is said to have 8 cores – 2x A75 at 2.0GHz + 6x A55 cores; which should make it more powerful than the Helio P70 which has 4 x A73 cores and 4 X A53 cores. It will be paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

There is a 32MP camera in front for selfies while the rear cameras are made up of a 16MP primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide angle camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. The Vivo S1 will also have a much bigger 4500mAh battery with Vivo’s Dual Engine fast charging technology. The phone will run Android 9 Pie out of the box.

Photos of the phone show a blue-purple gradient finish. In one of the images, we see there is a sky blue variant on a poster. The phone will come in a white box with a large “S” inscribed on it and is rumored to have a price tag of about INR 20,000 (~$290). The launch date is reported as early August.

The post Vivo S1 Indian version may be the first Helio P65 phone appeared first on Gizmochina.

Taiwanese fabless chipmaker MediaTek has announced a new chipset dubbed Helio P65. The new chipset is very similar to the Helio P70 but isn’t a very big upgrade over either the P70 or the older Helio P60. However, the chipset comes with faster CPU cores as well as an improved Neural processing unit (NPU).

In terms of its architecture, the MediaTek Helio P65 Systems-on-Chip (SoC) has a CPU with two ARM Cortex-A75 cores and six Cortex-A55 cores in an octa-core arrangement.

In comparison, the Helio P60 and P70 both feature four Cortex-A73 and four Cortex-A53. Details released by ARM shows that the Cortex-A75 is about 22% faster than the A73. On the other hand, Cortex-A55 is also about 18% faster than the A53. Thus, the new chipset is expected to output a higher single-threaded performance than its predecessors. We don’t expect the same improvement on the multi-core performance where it may likely perform less than Helio P60/P70 due to the difference in the proportion of bug and small cores.

The new Helio P65 doesn’t have the dressing of an upper mid-range chipset but at best one for low-end mid-range or budget models as can be seen other features. The SoC uses the Mali-G52 GPU instead of the more powerful Mali-G72 found on the P70. The chipset also comes with support for 1GB LPDDR4X RAM and can only connect with eMMc 5.1 storage and not the faster UFS 2.1 flash storage.

In addition, the Helio P65 supports up to a 48MP single camera sensor and a maximum of 16MP+16MP dual camera setup. You can also get bokeh shots with a single or dual camera and it also comes with Multi-Frame Noise Reduction. MediaTek also says the P65 is twice as fast as the previous mainstream Helio chipset in NPU. The chipset is also said to be 30% faster than what’s in the “direct competitor” chipset.

For video encoding, the chipset supports H.265 format and has Electronic Image Stabilization and Rolling Shutter compensation (RSC). The chipset only supports recording up to 1080p/60 videos as there is no support for 4K video recording. There is also a more secure  ISP promises fast camera-based face unlock.

MediaTek didn’t reveal any detail on the new chipset’s manufacturing process. However, we can take a cue from the Helio P60, P70 and P90 to guess that the chipset is built on TSMC’s 12nm FinFET nod.
