MediaTek unveils Helio G35 and G25 chipsets for gaming phones under $100

30 June 2020
With such a limited budget, these chipsets lack the raw power of the G70 and higher, but still hope to be reliable and efficient.

Sort by:

Its weird that mtk refresh a helio P25 and P35, then brand it as G series.

Actually wait... Whats the difference between the P35 and G35?? Gpu is the same, cpu is the same quad A53 2,x ghz, same bt5.0 and wifi ac, isp capability is the same. Isnt it the same soc afterall??

    Who at MediaTek came up with this atrocious idea of calling these things "gaming". It's a slap in the face, especially after the very good Dimensity chipsets. Which, BTW, should be considered the real gaming SoCs. Sheesh.

            Anonymous, 30 Jun 2020Most games run at 720p. Even on phones with QHD screens. Yes i know, but with gfxtools it goes upto 1440p. And there also exist various games where you can modify files for better settings and emulators where you can set the resolution, etc. Anyway the cpu will be the bottleneck here.

              Can someone explain to me how a cpu with only A53 cores is "good" for gaming?!!

                  Besides, as SoCs get better and better, even low-end chips will be able to run those 3 games fairly well (at low details, but playable).

                  In my opinion, it's a good move by MTK. Even if you buy a low-end phone, it's nice to see gaming-oriented features in it.

                          If this thing isn't able (and it won't be) to play Fortnite/PUBG/CoD at a decent framerate, nobody will pick it up. Even for $100.

                                    There is no difference between those and the p22/p35 combo. What a joke.

                                      If you are buying a new phone this year (2020), you should avoid any phones based on MediaTek Helio G, P series of SoCs.

                                      If you are on a budget, you should pay attention to new and forthcoming phones based on D800 with pricing near or below $200.

                                      If you are on a even tighter budget, wait for phones based on forthcoming D600 (~$150).
