While MediaTek is perhaps better known for supplying chips for smart devices like speakers and lower-priced smartphones. But, with the unveiling of a new 5G system-on-chip this week at Computex, the Taiwanese company is looking to take on the likes of Qualcomm, Samsung and HiSilicon by powering more premium smartphones.
According to the company, the as-yet unnamed product will sample to OEMs in Q3 this year with commercial availability expected in the first quarter of 2020.
