the MediaTek chip particularly stood out for its battery life — a metric that mainstream customers generally consider to be at least as important as max performance. Although the Snapdragon is a solid all-round performer, MediaTek’s power efficiency was very impressive and it led to a higher overall result… In our preliminary scores, the MediaTek chip is better at playing popular 3D games, downloaded from the Google Play store, because it can play them smoothly for longer periods.

For the time being, I actually don’t think much will change, due to a flaw: the MediaTek chip doesn’t support LTE, and in 2014 a lot of people are going to want LTE phones, including in China. That’s probably why the stock market has so far barely reacted to MediaTek’s latest chip or to the optimistic projections in its recent quarterly report.

Once LTE becomes a commonplace feature, attention will return to the more traditional aspects of what makes a good mobile processor — namely, price and performance — and this is exactly the sort of battle MediaTek is equipped to fight. By the time MediaTek starts delivering LTE-enabled processors in Q3, MediaTek should at least be able to mount a challenge for the mid-range tier, which cost $300-$400 and use lower-specced chips like the Snapdragon 400.
