MediaTek unveils the 4G-only Helio G91 SoC

28 February 2024
It has a better ISP compared to its predecessors.

Huib, 29 Feb 2024No.. in fact you just sound like a very entitled connoiseur... moreYes. Mediatek does owe us all a good chipset in the sub 200$ category. Every year, they come up with groundbreaking records in the flagship section, but every budget user has to rely on years old architecture and rebadged chipsets, which can easily be improved upon (And has been improved upon before, eg: Helio G90T, G95).
Please don't tolerate what these multi-billion dollar conglomerates are doing. All they are doing is milking money from customers who don't know any better.

    Lol 12nm in 2024. Enjoy ur warm winters.

      They should have upgraded the graphics part to Mali G57 MC2 for decent gaming performance

          that's really unfair...It's mostly an old G80 with a better ISP.

          CPU and GPU are far far behind the old G90T on Redmi Note 8 Pro

            S, 29 Feb 2024Just e-waste in 2024. 4G will become dead within few years.Already is tbh

              I think there's a spelling mistake in '2x Crotex A75'. It's supposed to be 'Cortex', not 'Crotex'. (Unless I'm wrong)

I hate the CCP just as much as the next person, but I'm sure at least part of the reason Huawei got kneecapped so badly was to clip off the wings of the third person in the competition, which was Huawei. Lack of competition, huge amounts of lobbying money spent by companies and terribly weak antitrust law all have to do with this situation here.

                  Let that sink in

                    Buying under $100 4g phone is just the last option in this year.
                    Those who are buying 4g phones above that price range are actually dumb and wasting money.

If you push am iPhone to it's limit it lags (screen sharing) while playing games. But the average user won't notice this, cause he/she would just scroll browser or socials all day.

                          I just hope this G91 atleast use ufs2.1 instead of EmmC 5.1

                            "Brand new chipset in 2024, but uses eMMC 5.1 and is worse than the Helio G90 from nearly 5 years ago despite being called G91. What a joke."

                            The highest position for the Helio in SoC ranking is 84 and completely missed the upgraded Camera

                              If they perceive there is a market for this chipset and the price they ask for it, they are free to take the opportunity.

                              Why do you think the world needs to "put and end" to it?

                                4G has higher coverage and greater penetration and reach into buildings and structures. It will be around for a very long time.

                                  basically a rebadged g88. nothing's new.
                                  can't believe this is a step behind from G90T.

                                        Jezz, why can't they just called it Helio g89? It's more logic reason because it's sit between g90/g90t/g95/g96 and g85/g88 spec.
