MediaTek unveils the 4G-only Helio G91 SoC

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

Sort by:

Guess the G series are for the very budget range now. The Dimensity for the midrange and flagship.

    Anders, 28 Feb 2024Don't like it, make your own chipset 🤣🤣Bros really used the same logic I used yesterday and criticized me over it. I won't make my own chipset when MediaTek themselves makes better chipsets lol. This chipset is useless. No phone at like 200 USD needs 108MP, it needs basic lag-free performance. Cameras on a 150 USD phone would likely be decent or bad. We should boycott phones with eMMC and only use UFS 2 and better.

      Probably if Helio g100 is basically same as Helio g99

        If anyone makes a budget chip with their own custom cores, I really hope they call it the Crotex A75.

          What a joke. Not even the fab process was updated. Some midrange chips already use A715 cores, how is it possible to launch a "new" chipset so many generations behind... Bare minimum is A78 cores IMO.

            Darth Caesium, 28 Feb 2024Sorry. I assumed wrong I guess. You are right, I didn'... moreIt was in a different article, not this one. Anyway, I accept your apology 👍

              Anders, 28 Feb 2024You have no comprehension of what you're talking about... moreSorry. I assumed wrong I guess. You are right, I didn't really read the chain of comments that led up to that.

                Darth Caesium, 28 Feb 2024How about you also make your own? You add absolutely nothin... moreYou have no comprehension of what you're talking about. I am referencing something they said to me the other day.

                So you're just agreeing with me that his comment was utterly useless.

                This chip is obviously garbage.

                  Nothing should have eMMC support anymore; everything should have a minimum of 6GB of RAM and preferably 8GB; and the lowest tier chip should have the performance of a Helio G99. These ultra-budget chips have barely evolved at all. Seriously, my old Samsung Galaxy A5 2017's Exynos 7880 chipset is only slightly worse than the Helio G35, and if that's the target we're hitting where we get lag even when typing the lock screen password on the keyboard, while using newer versions of Android that are way more RAM-hungry and processing power-hungry, then we've completely lost the plot.

                      Mediatek lost the opportunity to kick Qualcomm butt with this one. They had ONE simple job: Remake G90 (or G90T, even G95) with at least 6nm and all necessary upgrades.

                      It can't be that expensive to do that with a chipset released in July, 2019.

                        SMH... Boy mediatek with these rebrands

                        I used to criticise Qualcomm but man mediatek takes the cake these days

                          This also shows phone can be used for 7 years or more, this soc is weaker than snapdragon 845 released like 6-7 years ago.

Many decent phones under $100 they have Unisoc. Also they have something T820, decent SoC wirh 4 big cores.

                                  Yay, can't wait for phones that can take 108mp images with 8mp detail!

                                      This time last year, the Helio G36 was announced
                                      https://m.gsmarena.com/mediatek_helio_g36_announced__g37_with_100mhz_lower_cpu_clock-news-57531.php
                                      This one is much more welcome and I hope it replaces the G36 in very cheap phones. 8xA53 sux plain and simple

                                        "However, the newer G91 now supports up to 108MP sensors, which would make the chip a preferable choice by manufacturers looking to assemble a competitive budget solution in 2024."

                                        At this price point of a phone, the chipset being adequate to run the OS without lagging is far more important than supporting high end cameras.
