The handset is reportedly dubbed as the "World's First Helio X30 Smartphone". The device will be available in two variants – one with 6GB RAM, 64GB storage and another with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. The image leaked by Roland Quandt on Twitter hints at a design like OnePlus 3. The smartphone is also tipped to sport a Quad HD display.

Alongside Helio X30, MediaTek also unveiled Helio P25 chipset at CES 2017. The company is trying to catch up with established players in the processor market.
