MediaTek Helio G100 Ultimate Chipset Review — Specifications and Benchmarks
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
Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 Chipset Review — Specifications and Benchmarks
A dependable, practical mid-range chip for everyday use with modern 5G connectivity. Despite the name it is not a real performance leap over the previous generation, so pick a device with good memory and storage to get the most out of it.
- +Modern 5G with mmWave, plus Wi-Fi 6E
- +Good camera support up to 200MP and 4K HDR video
- +Smooth performance in everyday tasks and light to mid-weight games
- −Only a marginal step up from the previous Snapdragon 6 Gen 1
- −The Adreno 710 GPU is completely unchanged from the previous generation
- −Performance varies widely with the device design (up to a 200,000-point AnTuTu spread)
