Not even people with the money to buy it should because it can't do all the things a phone they can't afford can do.
      This is an SoC for CHEAP phones. It doesn't need to be fast. It's meant for communication, it doesn't need to have the biggest numbers.

          It's already feels laggy to have G37 and now they made the slower model it. I think it's time for standarization for SoC, like they have to be as fast as some point to actually be released so that people who don't understand this field can buy a more proper device.

            rock , 13 Feb 2023my expectation is ultra budget 4g chip set is helio g50 wit... moreA73/A53 are old Big.LITTLE config, not DynamIQ...
            It's really harder to make 2+6 with A73/A53, as clusters are homogeneous and limited to 4 cores
            You have to make tri-cluster config : 2A73+4A53+2A53...multiply cluster cache connection, it's unefficient, less powerfull and not really cheaper compare to 4A73+4A53 or 2A75+6A55...
            Heterogenous clusters up to 8 cores comes with A75/A55 and later...2A75+6A55 are in the same cluster.

            Mediatek introduced tri-cluster, but never did this 2+4+2 (Samsung did on Exynos 7885/7904...not awesome)
            2big+4little+4little had some advantages : good multicores perfs and less heat compare to 4big+4little...just have to compare X20 to SD810 in 20nm! (Real comparaison, not articles from media that never get a real X20.

              i wonder how is mediatek even in business till yet

                Literally just the same. No use for this chipset. G37 is already struggling to keep up. The G37 scores about 110k on AnTuTu 9 and 900 (Multi) for Geekbench 5.

                  Anonymous, 13 Feb 2023G99 isn't gaming cpu . It has weak Mali g57 igpu proba... moreIn fact G99 carry G57mp2, higher clocked due to 6nm.
                  GPU is faster than G90T...
                  I admit I think the opposite like you before I read results !

                  For exemple :

                  Camera support is improved...
                  But video is a step back (no 4k support)

I cant imagine with those super slow mediatek chipset how it Will perform it must use basic aosp rom to even perform good enough. Cant imagine how it perform with custom skinned Rom like MIUI etc

                      Anonymous, 13 Feb 2023Even Unisoc is better than mediatek now for low end SoCsCause Mtk improved and they want to surpass Qualcomm. Lowest and budget segment is now ruled by unisoc.

                        Even Helio P35 was faster compared to G35 and this G36 is a total garbage lol. I have Infinix Hot 10 Play and it runs Ş#it.
                        a lower clock speed for 90hz and 50mp support isn't worth it.

                          Dare you put this $@&% in 150$+ phone

                            Seriously, what's the point for lowering it and making it cheaper? G37 is already slow. I know maybe this chipset should be enough for only social media FOR NOW - but no, considering most apps are getting heavier every time, I won't recommended any chipset that doesn't have any Cortex-A7x core, no matter how low the clock speed is.

                              User ISPdisplay must be so excited about this that could not even come here to bash qualcomm. Since qualcomm now has 1 SoC with a53, while mediatek still announce many
                              🤣😂

                                Off point, but I see zero reasons to go below a Snapdragon 680 / Helio equivalent today. It's straight up a bad experience. And it gets worse pretty quick.

                                  This is bullcrap. They are recycling the old Helio P35 all over again for 6 years!
                                  Stop with that crap Mediatek!

                                  Give us new brand A510 core based processors.

                                    ""budget gaming phone"

                                    So much wrong in such short sentence....

                                      I just want to say that, most phone games are either graphically light, unless you play the 5gb (or more) games

                                      Helio G36 being called a gaming phone is not far from reality if you game candy crush or some other arcade games, or perhaps light 3d games.

                                      They are still games, so yep
