Claiming to be the world’s first eight-core smartphone running on MediaTek’s Octa-Core 6592, the Zopo ZP998 from the Chinese manufacturer has now been listed on the Zoposhop e-commerce portal.
While Zopo is no Xiaomi, the manufacturer offers a smartphone that, spec-wise, is comparable if not more impressive than Xiaomi’s Mi-3 and even the Samsung Galaxy S4. Zopo has managed to keep the device at a price tag of US$300 for the 5.5 inch, 9.1mm thin phablet. The ZP998 sports a full-HD display with a pixel density count of 404ppi and is also the first of its kind to support full-HD, HEVC/H 265, and Google VP9 video compression standards for improved media playback.
Photo junkies will be glad to see that the ZP998 supports a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera.
Zopo’s eight-core smartphone is powered by the 1.7GHz Cortex-A7 8-core processor devised from MediaTek and AMD’s partnership. While the high-performance processor can provide superior performance compared to that of competing smartphones, it’s up to the app developers to take advantage of the eight-core chip. Without octa-core optimized apps, the ZP998 with the eight-core processor is technically speaking, a battery-saving smartphone but not much else.
The ZP998 has the standard 2GB of RAM found in most top-tier smartphones today, and packs a Mali-450MP4 GPU that clocks in at 700 MHz. The device comes with 32GB of internal memory, but can be expanded to 64GB through a microSD slot. The ZP998 looks to be a great gaming device.
Packing a 2,400mAh battery, Zopo says its handset has a standby time of 270 hours thanks to the octa-core chip, but we'll have to wait for a review unit to judge the battery life for ourselves.
While the octa-core processor is the centerpiece of Zopo’s latest smartphone, the ZP998 manages to stand on its own based on both specs and price.
