It seems we will be seeing one of the first devices to sport MediaTek’s deca-core processor soon. Zopo has been tipping its upcoming flagship device since last year and its going to be eventually unveiled at the Mobile World Congress on February 24.

The Chinese brand sent the invitation earlier today on Twitter and as shown on the poster, it will be hosted by MotoGP World Champion, Jorge Lorenzo.
The brand may not be as popular as other Chinese brands like Oppo, Ulefone, Elephone and the rest of them, but being one of the first companies to give the world a deca-core smartphone is surely getting them into the news.
Unfortunately, very little is known about the device specifications at this time apart from the deca-core Helio X20 SoC. Rumor has it that the device will have a 4GB RAM and there’s going to be a fingerprint sensor at the back. It is alleged to have a 2K display and run Android Marshmallow out of the box. Teasers we’ve seen also suggest a 21MP Sony Exmor IMX230 rear camera and a 8MP front camera.
The price isn’t yet revealed but by February 24 when the device is unveiled, we should have more details about the device.
