MediaTek’s Helio lineup hasn’t seen a new addition in a while now, but that’s changing today as the chipmaker has introduced a new Processor in the series, called MediaTek Helio G100. While the chip is essentially the same as the Helio G99, it differs in terms of optics, bringing support for up to 200MP cameras compared to 108MP sensor support in Helio G99.
MediaTek Helio G100: Specifications
MediaTek Helio G100 is built on TSMC’s 6nm process, consisting of an octa-core CPU with two 2.2 GHz Cortex-A76 cores and six 2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 units. It supports LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage, while the maximum display Resolution supported is 2,520 x 1,080 pixels running at up to 120Hz refresh rate. Graphics are handled by the Arm Mali-G57 MC2 GPU.
The major upgrade comes in the camera department, where the Helio G100 now supports up to 200MP single cameras. It also features support for dual 16 + 16MP Sensors and 32 MP video shooting at 30 fps. As for connectivity, there’s support for 4X4 MIMO, 2CC CA, 256QAM, TAS 2.0, HPUE, IMS (VoLTE\ViLTE\WoWi-Fi), eMBMS, Dual 4G VoLTE (DSDS), Band 71, Wi-Fi 5, and Bluetooth v5.2.
The chip includes support for GPS, QZSS L1+ L5, Galileo E1 + E5a, BeiDou B1C + B2a, and NAVIC. Finally, the MediaTek Helio G100 also gets an “Elevator Mode,” which promises to swiftly restore cellular connection after emerging from coverage-deprived spaces like tunnels or elevators.
MediaTek is already offering the chip to general public, and the first device to launch with it was the Tecno Camon 30S Pro which debuted last week. The detailed specs of the handset are mentioned below.
