A purely budget chip — in practice a Helio G99 with stronger camera support and a new marketing name. It only suits very tight budgets where 5G support and genuinely modern performance are not needed.
- +Camera support up to 200MP
- +Displays up to 120Hz
- +Good power efficiency thanks to the 6nm process
- −No 5G support at all
- −Dated, slow UFS 2.2 storage
- −No real architectural difference from the older Helio G99
