Just recently, we had a chance to take a look at MediaTek's leaked roadmap for 2015, where we could see a dozen 20 nm SoCs. Today, the company announced rumoured MT6753 SoC, the successor to the 64-bit octa-core MT6752, and should arrive by the end of the second quarter.

The new 64-bit SoC features eight cores based on ARM's Cortex A-53 architecture that are clocked at 1.5 GHz and the Mali-T720 GPU. It supports Full HD display at 60fps, H.264 1080p video playback at 30fps and the latest H.265 1080p playback at 30fps with low power consumption. There is also support for camera with up to 16 MP sensor.

In terms of supported networks, it supports TD-LTE, FDD-LTE cat. 4, HSPA+, TD-SCDMA and EDGE, along with CDMA2000 1x / EVDO Rev. A radio frequencies.
