MediaTek is conserving its 4G collection of chipsets alive, however the brand new Helio G200 shouldn’t be an enormous improve over the Helio G100, regardless of what the numbers counsel. The brand new chip brings increased GPU clock speeds, higher HDR video high quality for the digicam and a brand new tech that improves utilizing social networking apps in areas with spotty reception.
At coronary heart, that is nonetheless principally the identical 6nm chipset that the Helio G99 was. The G100 added 200MP digicam assist, the G200 improves on that with 12-bit DCG assist for higher HDR in movies.
The CPU options 2x Cortex-A76 cores (2.2GHz) and 6x A55 (2.0GHz), similar as earlier than. Nevertheless, the GPU, a Mali-G57 MC2, is now clocked at 1.1GHz, up from 1.0GHz. Not an enormous achieve, however as a lot could be anticipated on condition that it nonetheless makes use of the outdated TSMC N6 node.
Lastly, the 4G DC SAR know-how “enhances the expertise of widespread social and messaging apps in distant areas and areas with weak mobile alerts”. It does so by lowering latency by 30% (you’d assume this could be a boon for video games greater than Fb) and by enhancing reception vary.
The Helio G200 helps 1080p+ shows with as much as 120Hz refresh fee. It may be paired with LPDDR4X RAM as much as 4,266Mbps and UFS 2.2 storage. It has a built-in Cat. 13 DL 4G LTE modem, Wi-Fi 5 (ac) and Bluetooth 5.2 assist. Examine the desk beneath for a comparability with the G99 and G100.
