Hmm, I wonder what the chances are of Sony using that Mediatek chipset on a future Z series.
Or... Umm... Anyone know if Sony has enough cash reserves to buy Mediatek? 
If a 2015 Sony phone could pull off those camera feats, I wouldn't mind waiting for it.
I hope you don't want ur phone to emit fumes !!
And MTK is a Mtk at the end of the day. I don't think any manufacturer will use this chipset in their flagship let alone sony!
Every time samsung and nvidia have been outing so called "great revolutionary chipsets" that are meant to kill qualcomm but in the end all turn out be half baked failures emitting fumes.
Only Qualcomm provides a one stop solution that fulfills all needs a manufacturer wants!
I imagine this ^ was the sort of ignorance that many manufacturers had including Nokia when they heard Apple was making a phone in 2007.
The fact that some OEMs have already begun using MediaTek in their low end is a cause for concern for Qualcomm, whether or not Samsung and NVidia manged to beat them or not that is THE PAST, you should worry about the future especially if a competitor has near to unlimited resources. I'm pretty sure many OEMs as we speak are actively looking at other chip vendors as what many feared WRT depending on one vendor came true this year, Samsung are looking to put more Exynos in their phones, LG are developing their own chip, you have MediaTek slowly climbing up, so in the long run Qualcomm needs to ensure that they have customers, as if they lose their large orders from Samsung and LG in the mid to high end and lose the lower end ones to MediaTek, it will be a disaster.
MediaTek's new MT6595 octa-core processor scores as high as 47,000 on AnTuTu, has support for advanced features
PhoneArena
MediaTek are serious, I hope Qualcomm take them more seriously.

Interesting
Also, the handset sports an infra-red transmitter, which most likely gives it universal remote control powers.

I think MediaTek's growth is really good especially for Sony. Now that LG, Samsung and Huawei are using their own chipset Sony and htc will be Qualccom's only major costumers. In the past one of the reasons Sony didn't use MediaTek widely was that they worried Qualcomm might not give Sony access to their latest chipset but know Qualcom will be desperate for costumers and not the other way around. Sony also can team up with MediaTek to design their own costume chipsets with Audio-MX and BIONZ integrated maybe even a better graphic processor like what they did with VITA which used PowerVR SGX543MP4+ which was a costume chipset based on SGX543MP4. |

This could mean a more simultaneous US and international release for the Z3  .
BTW, is the Verizon Z2 cancelled? Because if the above is true, it would be dead on arrival as if it wasn't enough already...

Good. Now they can announce a Z3 and cancel it just before Z4 in March. Sony - the company of unsold stuff.  |

Why is it so hard for Sony to get their handsets on US carriers? All major networks bring out Samsung's flagships asap, so why? Especially now, as Sony is more competitive than ever? Look at Z2, it is on par with, and even better than S5 in some aspects, yet no one was rushing to pick it up! Sony needs to jump thru all hoops necessary to get a foothold in the US.

It's a long chain of issues. Carriers only want phones that will sell. Carriers then look at Sony, and let's say they think that Sony's phone is interesting, they would let Sony know. Sony would then have to manufacture extra phones that is according to US standards (baseband, memory suited for market, etc.). This would take budget and resources. Sony then turns to their manufacturing supplier, they look at Sony and says, "look here, we can only give you this much of resource, because we gave the other parts for other suppliers (Samsung, Apple, etc.). Sony is left with nothing. Sad world Sony is living in.
Because Z2 looks good on paper, doesn't mean the brand itself caught the high wind. Due to tough competition, it's just not worth all the investment Sony has to put in to get a small footprint on US land. The only way out of Sony is to deal with carriers and say, ok, I'll give you 1,500 units, if you sell it all then great, if not, then I'll buy it back. Sony will lose money, but that's the only way I see them getting their foot in the US market. |

I guess the solution is simple... Sony needs to figure out a way to buy a cell phone carrier
Anyways, I'm hoping that since Z3 won't be a revolutionary design or have super duper mystical hardware that Sony will take this opportunity to really refine a lot of the previous complaints about the older phones. The addition of the IR blaster is an amazing first step! Here's hoping we'll see larger internal capacity options. Plus of course built-in wireless charging is top of my wishlist. |

Unnecessary hyperbole.

Cool actually
I think Qualcomm can do more if they moved quickly enough for the next upgrade S810... as they're still working on it, the chip is capable of doing it I think but they need software support...
MediaTek is promoting that their solution is a pure 8xA57 cores, compared to Qualcomm's 4x4 ( 4xA53 + 4xA57 ) configuration.. and those eight A57 cores allowed them to have such speed... I doubt this is the case unless they're talking about pure software encoding for the stream...
+ the video above from the comments says the chip supports only 13MP and lower sensors, while Qualcomm's support much higher and this is how Sony is using 20.7MP camera without a problem...
