Helio G96 chipset unveiled with 108MP camera and 120 Hz display support, G88 follows

15 July 2021
The two are not strict upgrades over the G95 and G85, but they do have better display and camera support.

Sort by:

So basically, the G95 still has better GPU performance than the G96. For me, G95 is still a potent 4G chipset especially for people who don't care much about the 120Hz screen refresh rate and 108MP camera.

    OwnFix3, 16 Jul 2021G is for graphics and they are degrading graphics. G is for Gaming, not graphics but whatever... You're still correct though. 💪

      Anonymous, 15 Jul 2021Most important is which fab process it is? Imagine it'... moreI think we all know that this is going to be the ancient 12nm process as we can expect.. cuz if it's an advanced process, then that would add to the cost of the chip (expensive) which compromises the core essence of it being affordable

            They should have given ufs support in Helio g88

              What a bad joke this SoC is.

                Anonymous, 15 Jul 2021I never heard anyone COMPLAIN about Xiaomi putting a 108 MP... moreYes, agreed, i think we are on a point that we have enough power from mid range soc to utilize sensors from last years flagship , case in point phantom x, redmi note 10 pro, realme 8 pro to name a few...and hoping the down the road the 50 mpxl GN2 that they used in M11 ultra

                  Very nicely explained about the new soc. Thanks

                    I used Helio G80, G85, and recently G95 and all these had heating issues..

                            G88 is new soc for Redmi 10 in my opinion. Its perfect for it.

Like how do you do it ? Can you get Snapdragon to run IOS for example to then compare it with Bionic processor ? Same as you can run android on the bionic processor so how you make equal ground to test them to judge what is better ?
