MediaTek was previously known only as a manufacturer of entry-level chipsets, but the company is now slowly closing the gap in high-end segment. The upcoming Helio X30 chipset is scheduled to arrive between the end of 2016 and early 2017, and will challenge Snapdragon 821.

We already know that the chipset will be manufactured using TSMC's 10nm process, and new details reveal that MediaTek has another, more economical 10nm chipset in the works. Dubbed the Helio X35, the chipset is made for upper mid-range devices, but at the moment there is no information on specs.
