Two new MediaTek chipsets from the P series have become official. Called Helio P23 and Helio P30, both chipsets pack an octa-core Cortex-A53 processor and are made using the TSMC's 16nm FinFET production process and will be available starting Q4 2017. Both will be globally available, but Helio P30 will be limited to China initially.

The main differences between them are in the camera support, RAM frequency and modem. The P23 supports LPDDR3 or LPDDR4, dual 13 MP or single 24 MP camera and Cat 6. or Cat 7., while the P30 supports only LPDDR4, dual 16 MP or single 24 MP and only Cat 7.
