MediaTek Launches Budget Helio G36 SOC: All You Need To Know

The MediaTek Helio G36 is a powerful and efficient chipset manufactured using the advanced 8nm process. It is based on the proven G35’s octa-core Cortex-A53 CPU architecture. It features highly optimized power consumption and clock frequency management, improving performance and greater energy efficiency. Its octa-core design allows eight threads of application processing, providing an overall faster, smoother, and more responsive user experience. Additionally, the G36 is designed with an advanced multi-core AI processing unit to deliver enhanced AI-driven tasks such as facial recognition and gaming. The Helio G36 is a great choice for mid-range devices, offering a perfect balance of performance, power efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

MediaTek Helio G36:- Details

Using the TSMC 12nm chip fabrication process, the Helio G36 houses an octa-core CPU of Arm Cortex-A53 that ticks at a maximum speed of 2.2GHz – keeping in mind that the predecessors G35/G37 were able to churn out up to 2.3GHz, distinguishing no significant variation between these three models from MediaTek’s G series range.

The MediaTek G35 system-on-a-chip (SoC) is equipped with a capable IMG PowerVR GE8320 graphics processing unit and fast LPDDR4x RAM up to 8GB. Onboard storage uses the eMMC 5.1 standard, similar to the G35 SoC. The resolution of this display goes all the way up to HD+, and it also supports a refresh rate of 90Hz for super smooth scrolling/gaming action.

The MediaTek Helio G36 can provide maximum-quality support for dual-camera photography, with a 50MP rear camera capacity that produces stunning bokeh effects and AI features, such as AI Beautification. Furthermore, HyperEngine 2.0 Lite is situated within the chipset, enabling resource management optimization via Resource Management Engine 2.0 technology – thereby boosting your gaming experience!

This chipset is equipped with a powerful Global 4G LTE Cat-7 modem, enabling dual-SIM compatible Voice over LTE and Video calls over LTE. Other noteworthy features include Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, and versatile GPS navigation like Beidou Galileo, Glonass, and QZSS.

An upcoming budget gaming-centric phone in India is primed to be outfitted with the innovative MediaTek Helio G36 chipset. However, a precise launch date cannot yet be ascertained.
