    motylek, 24 Mar 2024It's not a banger At least the chipset is better than most phones at this price range

G35 may perform a little bit better than P22 and A22. those kind of chips aren't designed to run newer android than android 10 anyway.

Not-... moreunless if you invest in replacing parts, i'd say going with older flagships is fine. but buying new budget midrange phones are also a good option as well. just avoid phones with helio G3x, P22 and P35 or even A22. those are garbage in 2024 standards.

          motylek, 24 Mar 2024I know whats a entry level device, but is that a joke? Not-... moreI've never seen such nonsense, but after you started comparing this to phones powered by the MT6580, it truly became obvious that you have no clue what you are talking about.

          https://nanoreview.net/en/soc-compare/unisoc-tiger-t616-vs-mediatek-mt6580

          Well first of all, you mentioned the age of these chipsets.. yeah the MT6580 is 5 years older than the T616, and it's from early 2016. The Unisoc however is from 2021, so it's already way more modern. Then there is the transistor size, the T616 is a 12nm chipset, while the MT6580 is 28nm, that is an insane difference and means way better battery life. So about connectivity, at this price point I think we should forget about 5G, but with the MT6580 you have to forget about 4G as well, there is also Bluetooth 5, instead of 4.1 on the newer SoC, and faster Wi-Fi. RAM and storage are also very different, LPDDR3 on the Mediatek, while LPDDR4X on the Unisoc, maximum RAM is 2GB versus 12GB, eMMC 5.0 storage vs UFS 2.2 storage, so no the performance of these two chipsets isn't close at all.

              I know whats a entry level device, but is that a joke? Not-so new android put on old hardware, you can compare it with putting Android 13 + Google Apps on a Sony Xperia SP (it struggles with gapps even on android 8). Battery and display is big, to fool people, same applies with the camera, 50MP, it probably takes shit photos, no OIS or anything, the second lens is useless. Even the 8/128 won't help. The CPU is shit. MT6580 has similiar performance to this. If you need a cheap phone i recommend getting a older flagship. For example: Xiaomi Mi 9, Xiaomi Mi 10, Xiaomi Mi 11, Galaxy S10, Galaxy S20, etc. You can buy older flagship androids really cheap, where iPhone 11 is still expensive 💀

                      Best entry level phone. Amazing pricing. Go on LAVA.

                        those chips are notorious when it comes to performance. it lags so hard even taking phone calls, messaging, and scrolling social media. even unisoc sc9863a performs miles better than A22.

                                  Unisoc T616 on a budget phone? It's truly a banger for a phone at a price of $100. A lot of budget phones use very weak and outated chipsets such as Helio A22, G35 or any other weak chipsets while a few use Helio G85. Unisoc T616 is definately better than Helio G85 and it outright stomps Helio A22 and G35 in performance.

                                    It’s fine… would’ve preferred them to use FHD+ display with 60hz instead of HD+ with 90hz tho

                                      Great phone for the price. Performance is above average, I kinda wished it had stereo speakers, but for the price, it is incredible.
