MediaTek MTK
It a Taiwanese fabless semiconductor company that provides system-on-chip solutions for wireless communications. They specialize in manufacturing the Central Processing Unit (CPU chips) for wireless telecommunications, HDTVs, DVD etc. Their largest demands come from the Chinese mobile tech market. So MTK phones are the phones that make use of MTK chips. Since MTK are largest suppliers of their chips to the Chinese mobile tech markets, most of the mobile devices produced in China are MTK devices.

Go to play store and find a app CPU-Z. install the app open it and go to SOC (System on Chips) menu then under system menu to see the hardware component. The models for MTK devices always start with Mt prefix. Main companies that
