Conclusion on MT6589 VS MT6589T
To finally conclude this comparison on these two devices running on MT6589 and MT6589T we would like to say that that we do notice a considerable difference in benchmark figures but again when it comes to using apps and all other simple smartphone task you may not notice much difference in between these two devices. When it comes to graphic intensive task like gaming we noticed little bit lesser lag while playing the same game on both of these devices but again that too did not happen with all the games, so unless you do some thing very resource hungry you wont notice the difference in between these two devices.
