TOP 6 SMARTPHONES IN INDIAN MARKET WITH OCTA-CORE TECHNOLOGY






Introduction:


The smartphone arena is booming around the all new octa-core chipsets and we can see quite a large number of companies making smartphones using them. 

Sailing on these changing tides of the market, the chipset manufacturers are developing and advancing this chipset technology and the smartphone companies are embedding more and more of these chipsets into their esteemed products. 

Even a person setting his eyes on a budget phone can avail of this octa-core technology. These chipsets are not just a part of high priced phones but also embedded in budget phones giving an average consumer all the services and processing capabilities without fussing about the price.

Now, before we look at the octa-core giants let’s truly understand what octa-core means.


Octa-core: History



ARM-processor-Samsung_S4



The octa-core trend started with Samsung’s Exynos 5410 SoC which was self-manufactured.

It implemented BIG. Little concept proposed by ARM. According to this concept, 4 ARM Cortex A15 CPU cores are coupled with 4 ARM Cortex A7 CPU cores. However only one of the block of 4 cores will be active at any moment depending on the processing requirements. Thereby we don’t get the true computational capabilities of octa-core. 



The switch made is automated so there is no technical troubles and the device operating on this chipset runs smoothly.



MediaTek-MT6592-Octa-core


In recent days we have heard quite a lot about MediaTek MT6592 chips. Unlike Exynos 5 series is a ‘True Octa Core’ SoC where all 8 CPU cores remain active at time.

No wonder it’s very efficient in terms of multitasking.

Is it wise to choose an octa-core device powered by Mediatek chips rather than a quad-core??


A definite Yes!! These octa-cores are much more powerful than the earlier quad-cores and are much cheaper too. So much computational and graphic capabilities at such low-cost should be availed of.

Well now, let’s not get deep into technicalities. Let me present to you, the best octa-core smartphones that are available in the market currently.
