Right now, no, that's why I'm looking at a new phone :)

The latest MediaTek SoC i don't think its released yet is able to process 1080p video at 480fps for amazing slow motion footage, it supports 2k displays at 120Hz, it has eight 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 cores clocked at up to 2.2Ghz that smokes the latest Snapdragon 810! Gameloft's famous ModernCombat 5 will be optimized for MediaTek's true Octacore CPUs so don't think they are bad they are actually great.
anyway the MTK6582 is an entry level SoC, there are even better choices for cheap prices.some Chinese phones will smoke the current snapdragons, but you need to know what to choose, i wish i can help you but am not sure which ones are real and not some garbage with fake spec sheet.
Sounds great, thanks. I'll try to find something better, I guess.
I was under the impression that it's pretty good already, the MTK6582, but looking closer at it, I think you're right. Not a bad phone for the price, if the quality is OK, but I'd want something a little fast by today's standards.
PS: did a quick search based on this article:

These phones are considerably more expensive, like around $500, whereas the cheap ones I was looking at were around $100. But then it's true what you said. It's an entry level CPU and I might as well buy a used Samsung S3.
Found some cheaper ones based on the MTK6592. From what I see online it's performance should be close to that of the LG Nexus 5. Sounds like good value.
