RishiGuru, 23 Apr 2020MediaTek Helios G90T is no doubt a good SoC. However to me ... moreSnapdragon like you say will always be better but hey...who holds it's smartphone for more than 2 years these days?
Also mediatek is worse and slower when it comes to updates.

AnonD-844967, 24 Apr 2020to anyone who really owns yhe device.
what is your experin... moreSo far the phone was running good.no lag, no error, no nothing.
The battery is doing well somehow... With 90Hz refresh rate IPS screen, and mediatek processor this phone battery can hold up to 7-12 hours if you use it nonstop. And 1 and a half day for part time uses
I don't know why but the brightness of this phone was lower than my 2016 Lenovo phone at the highest brightness even tho this phone has 480 nits
For the performance this mediatek processor was the main rival of Snapdragon 720g. For PUBG it can run smooth-extreme and HDR-ultra for the 8/128 type. For the 4/128 type only Smooth-extreme and HD-high. I don't know what happened but I think it's only software problem. Also the framereate was smooth on either settings with well you know it's mediatek, slightly heating when you played it for too long.and also an battery drainer, 8 to 12 percent per chicken dinner (about 25-30 min)
The Camera was kind of good. I'm not a camera person personally but I kind of liked the camera. The main was 16mp,but also can be changed to 64mp but the only downside is you can't zoom it. It has macro,portrait,and wide angle. I forgot to mention that it has the night mode but, after I tried it. it doing well for the midrange phone like this, this night mode was not intended for low light of course. Theres a pro mode where you can do the settings like a pro photographers. But I don't know, everytime I changed one of the settings the pic turned either black or super white. Maybe I just don't know how pro photography works.
The charging was fast, I left it for a shower for 5 minutes it charged from 25% to 33%. It kind of fast if you ask me, and it fully charged for 40 min if you charge it from 20% and the exact 1 hour (60 min) if you charge it from 0%.because I don't know why there's a 10 minutes delay when the battery reached 99% to be 100%.
The realme UI was kind of helpfull. Well it's like the other brand UI but I don't sincerely know how this phone UI works. I mean come on I just buy this phone 2 weeks ago.
That's all I have to say I guess.

RishiGuru, 18 Apr 2020I have lost a lot of faith on Mediatek chipsets recently. W... moreYou already wrote that and I answered...
Cheating with task scheduler won't give you 30 to 70% extras performances on an properly coded application.
Anandtech should know that.
For long time, PCMark doesn't work properly...
With properly tests, Anandtech should know that.
As PCMark wasn't updated since August 2017, is it serious?
PCMark forgets to use big cores, this is really easy to proove...
Ans this is really easy to proove that it doesn't fit with reallity.
For exemple...on their webbrowsing test : no big cores!
On real webbrowser : big cores.
You can't trust in PCMark's results on Mediatek's or Rockchip's...and you won't have any results on Amlogic's or Realtek's as the application will crash.
I start having serious doubt about Anandtech too! This article and their conclusion based on a unique defaillant application is a pure shame!

Karate kid, 22 Apr 2020Performance isn't identical
G90T is far better and long-te... moreMediaTek Helios G90T is no doubt a good SoC. However to me it was Helios P60 on 2018, that brought Mediatek back on track and on par with Qualcomm for the first time ever. I generally divide SoC performance into three distinct parts:
1) CPU performance
2) GPU performance
3) Manufacturing process
In 2018, price-wise Realme 1 armed with P60 directly pitted against Redmi Note 5 Pro & Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 sporting Snapdragon 636. There was also Oppo F7 with P60 which I personally own. It was the first time Mediatek truly won over Snapdragon counterparts.
Realme 1 was selling like hot cross buns in India and was considered the mid-range gaming beast. Not only P60 was slight faster be it CPU or GPU than SD636 but it was also built on a more efficient 12nm manufacturing process when Qualcomm was using 14nm in its SD636 resulting in less power draw and less heat.
P60 laid the foundation and all its successors be it P65, G70, P90 till G90T used the same 12nm fab process. The G90T is no doubt a great SoC performance wise but efficiency wise in 2019 it has lost the war. We now have Snapdragon 730G nearly equaling performance of G90T but built on much efficient 8nm process and is a much better long term choice. So in my eyes P60 was the real winner from Mediatek in its time frame, not the G90T.
The use of thin steel plate over Realme 6 battery is not for heat resistance but for structural integrity of the phone. To keep cost low the phone is made with cheap plastic body and on the rear of the phone we practically get a shiny plastic sheet. So to maintain the structural integrity of the phone and make the phone as cheap as possible Realme had included a thin steel sheet inside & over the battery so that the phone does not bend easily. Also contrary to your belief the steel plate is an excellent heat conductor rather than acting as heat resistance.
In 2020, the G90T consumes much more power than Snapdragon 730G and produces more heat mainly due to the use of old & cheaper fab process making unit price cheaper than 720G & 730G. In long term these power draw and heat will be an issue just like Snapdragon 652 on its hay days. It is the very reason why Realme 6 Pro comes with 720G and not G90T.

RishiGuru, 21 Apr 2020Dosn't matter. Truth is truth. SD730 is far effecient chips... more"Far efficient" is a big stretch, isn't it? Even Realme 3 with Helio P60 lasts 7-8 hours in PUBG, so 730G should last 12 hours?
Yes, truth is truth and the truth is that all brands false advertise, including Snapdragon. In fact, Snapdragon/Qualcomm was caught faking benchmarks before Mediatek even launched its first mobile chipset.
Do your research lmao

G90T is far better and long-term better choice and capable of dealing with heavy games better than SD730G
And the heat is not a problem, the important pieces inside the phones are protected with a layer of heat-resistant stainless steel, like the battery you can watch a teardown video to make sure of that
Not only that, but also realme UI software controls heating well

It's common knowledge that all brands manipulate charts. Even Samsung, Apple and Huawei have been caught advertising DSLR pictures as from their phone's camera.
That's why people refer to practical tests by real users. Helio G70 gives solid 40FPS in PUBG and around 50FPS if you use PGT Pro app.
Helio G90T gives similar game performance as Snapdragon 730.
So as far as we, consumers/buyers are concerned, we don't care whether Huawei or Mediatek is false advertising. Because literally every brand does the same.
