MediaTek Unveils Helio G100: What You Need to Know
Introduction of MediaTek Helio G100
The MediaTek Helio G100 has officially been unveiled following the launch of the TECNO CAMON 30S Pro. This new chipset has garnered significant attention, as it was previously known to only a select few before its recent announcement.
MediaTek Helio G100 vs. Helio G99: Key Differences
MediaTek has indicated that the Helio G100 closely mirrors the performance characteristics of the Helio G99, particularly in terms of processing power and graphics. However, the G100 introduces a notable upgrade with its support for 200-megapixel main cameras, setting it apart from its predecessor.
Helio G100 Specifications
The MediaTek Helio G100 is equipped with an octa-core processor configuration. This setup includes:
- Two Cortex-A76 cores running at 2.2GHz
- Six Cortex-A55 cores running at 2.0GHz
Additionally, the chipset supports Full HD+ resolution (2520 x 1080) displays and offers LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage.
Advantages for Midrange Devices
The Helio G99 has been a popular choice for midrange devices in LTE markets due to its affordability compared to Dimensity chipsets. The Helio G100 aims to enhance this segment further by providing improved camera capabilities, which is becoming increasingly important to consumers.
Innovative Features of Helio G100
One of the standout features of the Helio G100 is “Elevator Mode,” designed to restore cellular connectivity swiftly and effectively in areas with poor coverage. This includes locations such as tunnels and elevators. The chipset also supports dual 4G SIM cards with VoLTE and ViLTE capabilities.
Future Prospects
With MediaTek beginning to distribute the Helio G100, we can anticipate an influx of new devices incorporating this advanced chipset throughout the year.
