MediaTek Announces Helio G70 – a cheaper alternative to G90T
Future budget and mid-range phones will use the newly announced Helio G70 to provide more affordable gaming phones. The new chipset is a toned-down version of G90T that was announced last year. It brings MediaTek’s HyperEngine game technology that boosts gaming performance. Around the technology are two functionalities – intelligent speed uplift and resource management.
Intelligent speed uplift improves mobile data connection such as deferring calls during gameplay while preventing disconnection. Resource management dynamically allocates CPU, GPU, and memory for smoother performance while maintaining greater power efficiency. Spec-wise, the G70 features two Cortex-A75 @ 2GHz and
six Cortex-A55 @ 1.7GHz. RAM supports goes up to 8GB 2133Mhz. There’s also up to 48MP dual cameras full of AI features, such as Face Unlock, Face Recognition, and Noise Reduction among others.
According to an earlier leak, Redmi 9 is tipped to use the G70 first.
