MediaTek Helio G36: Essence of Gaming Experience
Competition in the smartphone chipset markets has always been neck to neck, while manufacturers always trying their best to get the maximum share in terms of enjoying both market dominance as well as performance share, with MediaTech maintaining its market dominance in being the best in chipsets. Helio G36 is the latest chipset launched by MediaTek, the Taiwanese semiconductor company known for manufacturing and powering mobile phones and appliances with their chipsets. It is known to be the perfect successor to its previous G35 and varies a little bit from G37. Helio G36 is the chipset for entry-level gaming smartphones. It offers quicker displays, a larger camera, dual 4G SIM support, along with MediaTek HyperEngine 2.0 Lite gaming technology, all in a highly power efficient 12nm chip.
Since it’s an entry-level chipset, we can expect it to power phones starting at Rs.10,000.
The MediaTek HyperEngine 2.0 helps to fasten up the game loading time, and multitask across networks to create reliable and low-latency networks to provide high FPS while ensuring long-lasting battery life and also incorporating new tools to improve in-game image quality.
The following features are described in detail -
Core Power — Helio G36 offers an Octa-core Arm Cortex-A53 CPU clocking at a speed of 2.2GHz along with an IMG PowerVR GE8320 GPU which delivers the right mix of performance and power efficiency while also allowing device manufacturers to add a large enough 8GB of memory.
Power-efficient 12nm chip — G36 delivers superb power efficiency with the power-efficient 12nm FinFET production process.
MediaTek HyperEngine 2.0 Lite — For avid gameplayers, MediaTek HyperEngine 2.0 Lite ensures smoother and more consistent performance even with those which are heavy downloads and power-efficiency in longer periods of gameplay. The Network Engine 2.0 ensures quicker response sharing between smartphones and cell towers along with no drops in data connection during gameplay.
Camera configuration — The MediaTek Helio G36 supports dual camera photography with up to 50MP cameras, MEMA 3DNR, and multi-frame noise reduction which is backed by a hardware depth engine for high-quality Depth of Field Bokeh blur effects in stunning portrait photos. The chip offers the freedom of various mobile brand manufacturers in order to customize and add their own AI-camera features, such as AI beautification and enhanced detailing in single or dual-camera Bokeh capture. Features like Instant Auto Exposure (AE) are supported to provide considerably faster focusing and exposure adjustment when environmental background lighting configurations change suddenly. All this with the help of an integrated Camera Control Unit (CCU).
Dual 4G SIM — The global 4G LTE Cat-7 modem provides maximum power efficiency. It supports essential dual 4G SIM VoLTE/ViLTE services on both connections. MediaTek TAS 2.0 smart antenna technology actively helps to locate signal quality in order to provide the best connection at the lowest power utilization.
Connectivity — Integrated Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5 support and significantly boost the reliability of connection when using Wi-Fi and wireless essentials like headphones and gamepads.
MediaTek Helio G36 seems to be the perfect game-centric processor specifically designed for low-end and mid-range phones. It definitely meets the demands of entry-level mobile gamers.
