MediaTek just introduced the Helio G36, the company’s latest SoC in the Helio G series that will power the upcoming entry-level gaming smartphones in India. This 12nm chip has a 2.2GHz octa-core Arm Cortex-A53 CPU and an IMG PowerVR GE8320 GPU. To remind you, the company introduced the Helip G37 chip with the moto g22 last year.
The chip has MediaTek HyperEngine 2.0 Lite gaming technologies like Resource Management Engine 2.0, to ensure sustained performance with dynamic management of GPU, CPU, and memory, the Networking Engine 2.0 enables faster response and better connectivity to foster uninterrupted services.
It also has dual 4G connectivity with intelligent connectivity technologies, supports up to 50MP cameras, with dual camera photography backed by a hardware depth engine for high-quality Depth of Field (Bokeh) effects, and FHD+ 90Hz displays.
