As the entry-level model of our MediaTek LTE Cat-6 portfolio, the MT6738 pairs a power-effiecient 64-bit quad-core processor with MediaTek’s new-generation modem technologies that include worldwide 4G spectrum and enables Carrier Aggregation.

MT6738

Ideal for affordable Android M, L and N projects, it opens the way for mass-market IMS including VoLTE, ViLTE, VoWiFi and RCS, the MediaTek MT6738 redefines expectations of the mass-market through premium features that include:

  • Global, Advanced 4G LTE Cat-6 (LTE FDD/TDD R11) features with 2x Carrier Aggregation with capability for VoLTE, ViLTE, VoWiFi, RCS Fast data transfers: up to 300Mbps downlink & up to 50Mbps uplink. Legacy networks compatibility: DC-HSPA+, TD-SCDMA, EDGE, CDMA2000 1x/EVDO Rev. A (SRLTE).
  • MediaTek MiraVision: Enhanced display with a 6-layer user interface compatibility, life-like visuals and ambient-adaptive picture quality via MediaTek Smartscreen. Full HD playback of HEVC/H.265 content and Full HD video recording in H.264 suitable for online streaming or video services.
  • Enhanced photographic experiences via zero shutter delay, gesture shutter, laser and hybrid auto-focus support and advanced image signal processing capable of photo and video HDR (iHDR). Compatible with RWWB sensors for excellent low-light performance.
  • MediaTek PumpExpress 2.0 compatible. Speeds up device-charging dramatically with up to 75% charge in just 30 minutes.

On the processing side, MT6738 outperforms previous solutions in terms of power-efficiency and performance thanks to its quad-core, ARM Cortex A53 CPU clocked at 1.5GHz, and also adds the modern Mali T860 MP2, clocked up to 520MHz in MT6738T variant.

MT6300 Envelope Tracking Module

The MT6300 is an Envelope Tracking Module (ETM), that complements MediaTek’s CAT-6 modem. The package monitors the voltage supplied to the RF power amplifier in real-time, and uses continual, fine-grained voltage adjustments to optimize the power amplifier’s efficiency. By ensuring the power amplifier is operating at peak efficiency it reduces heat generated in the phone, particularly during LTE-A and Carrier Aggregated service use. MediaTek’s ETM package can save up to 20% current at max output power level.

The MT6300 ETM is supported on MediaTek smartphone platforms with its CAT-6 modem including X25, X20, P10 MT6750, MT6738 and future application processor products.
