MediaTek’s latest entry-level chip, the Helio G36, was released. This is actually a downgraded version of the Helio G37 chip.
The Helio G36 chip’s Cortex-A53 core frequency has been reduced by 100Mhz and now runs at 2.2GHz instead of the previous 2.3GHz. the rest of the specs provided show no difference between the old chip and the newly released one.
The MediaTek Helio G36 chip is expected to be featured in the upcoming gaming phone release in India. Last year’s Helio G37 chip made its debut on the Moto G22, and no manufacturer has yet officially announced that it will debut with the Helio G36 chip.
MediaTek Helio G36 chip uses the 12nm FinFET process and supports a 50MP camera, 90Hz display and MediaTek’s HyperEngine 2.0 Lite gaming engine, which supports dynamic allocation of CPU and GPU and memory resources, global dual 4G connectivity, and intelligent prediction of Wi-Fi and LTE concurrency. The MediaTek Helio G36’s gaming engine supports dynamic allocation of CPU and GPU and memory resources.
The MediaTek Helio G36’s octa-core Arm Cortex-A53 processor delivers 2.2GHz peak frequency for entry-level gaming smartphones. IMG PowerVR GE8320 GPU provides a combination of performance and power efficiency with support for up to 8GB of LPDDR4x memory.
MediaTek Helio G36 integrated global 4G LTE Cat-7 modem (2 CC-CA) with basic dual 4G SIM support, allowing VoLTE / ViLTE services on both connections. MediaTek TAS 2.0 smart antenna technology actively detects signal quality to provide the best connection with the lowest power consumption.
There is also a dedicated GNSS sub-processor providing fast thermal TTFF with accurate results and ultra-low power operation. Integrated Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5 support coexist simultaneously to significantly improve throughput and connection reliability when using Wi-Fi and wireless peripherals such as headsets and gamepads.
