According to XXMNewscaster (Micromax serial leaker), Micromax’s next device will be called the Canvas A240 (aka canvas 5), will likely feature MediaTek’s MT6592 octo-core SoC and is expected to go official in Q4 of 2013 this Diwali or Christmas priced around Rs 20,000.
According to rumors,in terms of hardware, the Micromax A240 could feature a 5-inch full-HD screen, Octa-Core MediaTek procesor with 2 GB RAM and a 13-megapixel rear camera, 5-megapixel front camera along with LTE (4g) connectivity, as it will be a fool decision for Micromax, if they launch the next Canvas flagship with Quad-Core processor or HD display, because they have already missed out the opportunity by launching the Canvas 4 with specs similar to Canvas HD.
The specifications provided above are just some expectations, However no words of pricing, specification and release date from Micromax.
There has been talk of MediaTek coming up with a new octa-core chip, which should be seen in mobile devices by November. While the date for mass production stays unchanged, the company has officially introduced the new octa-core processor, codenamed MT6592.
Samsungalready has an Exynos 5 octa-core processor out in the market. But the reality of the chipset is another matter all together, as it makes use of ARM’s big.LITTLE architecture. This is basically a combination of two quad-core processors, the first being a Cortex A15 chip, which is bunched in with a power-efficient Cortex A7 CPU. This means that at any point in time, only one set of four cores will be active.
The new MediaTek processor, however, stands out with the claim that it can make all eight cores work at the same time. This should give much better performance in terms of gaming, as well as other functions like Internet surfing, better video playback, as well as better battery performance. The company has also said that all eight cores can function well without the fear of overheating.
Enhanced multi-tasking capabilities
By allowing tasks to run concurrently with the use of multiple different cores, MediaTek True Octa-Core intelligently allocates processing power to where it is needed, both on a per-application and per-task basis. With MediaTek True Octa-Core, users can enjoy heavy web downloading, hardcore gaming, high-quality premium video viewing or other types of rigorous multitasking without experiencing lag times or excessive battery consumption.
Improved current-application experiences
Advanced web browsing:
With the unique ability to allocate individual browser tabs to CPU cores, MediaTek True Octa-Core allows for a faster, more stable web browsing experiences.
Smoother user interfaces:
With the ability to delegate user inputs to individual cores and render 3D effects more smoothly, the functionality and appearance of user interfaces in both applications and operating systems are significantly enhanced.
Superior gaming experiences:
The advanced multi-threaded programming deployed in the MediaTek True Octa-Core, enables different sequences to be allocated to different cores, delivering enhanced video frame-rate processing and exceptionally low-latency gaming experiences.
Efficient video playback:
When on decoding mode, the battery used for decoding HEVC (H.265) FHD video can be reduced by up to 18 percent compared to current quad-core solutions. While on display mode, MediaTek True Octa-Core provides users 20 percent more frames.
According to rumors,in terms of hardware, the Micromax A240 could feature a 5-inch full-HD screen, Octa-Core MediaTek procesor with 2 GB RAM and a 13-megapixel rear camera, 5-megapixel front camera along with LTE (4g) connectivity, as it will be a fool decision for Micromax, if they launch the next Canvas flagship with Quad-Core processor or HD display, because they have already missed out the opportunity by launching the Canvas 4 with specs similar to Canvas HD.
