These can suffer from occasional lags as well as throttling issues. The general performance of these chips is below average but it is acceptable in lower-end phones. If you have a low budget, try to get a phone that fits in this category. But some older chips like Snapdragon 810 having poor thermal performance might also fall into this category. But you’re unlikely to observe any lags or any other significant issues. In this range, performance is just above average. If you’re buying a mid-range phone then you should target this range.

Great performance is General use as well as gaming. Selecting a phone with a processor from this category is highly recommended for the best user experience. The processors that scored above 125 on Centurion Mark deliver excellent performance in Gaming as well as Heavy usage. Processors having the same or a close score can be considered as equivalent or similar in performance. *The scores marked with a star are only estimated without real-world testing.įor the ranking of MediaTek processors, visit here. Hence, this rating is not meant to be compared with other processors to judge them.Here’s the above graph in tabular form: Rank I rate a product considering its price-to-performance ratio. This move deserves appreciation and hopefully, we will see these advanced features in more budget processors in the near future.
ANTUTU BENCHMARK X EDITOR BLUETOOTH
MediaTek has introduced some new features and technologies such as Dual VoLTE, Bluetooth 5.0, and LPDDR4X for the first time in their budget lineup. Compared to the Snapdragon 425, the battery life of an Helio A22 device will last longer (assuming that they have the same battery capacity). Power Efficiencyĭue to its efficient 12nm node, the battery life lasts longer and the phone is less likely to overheat on heavy usage. But for heavy gaming, I’ll recommend a better SOC like Snapdragon 450, Helio P60, or the Snapdragon 636. If you’re a light gamer, you can consider it. PUBG can also be played at the lowest settings but you’ll have to deal with occasional frame drops. Gaming Reviewįor basic gaming, the PowerVR GE8320 does its job quite well. Hence, it is highly recommended to basic users but obviously, it will not be a good option for power users. However, you might also observe occasional lag during heavy usage and multi-tasking.Įven though A22 one has a more powerful CPU, the Redmi 5A with Snapdragon 425 does a better job in some scenarios. For a general user, this is one of the best processors out there in this budget.

In general smartphone usages such as messaging, video streaming, web browsing, and calling, it performs quite well. Here’s my review of this processor in different aspects/scenarios. Fortunately, the Helio A22 falls in the second category. But a good processor will deliver great performance and will complete all the tasks in the blink of an eye. A bad chip will result in lag it will also ruin the user experience. In my opinion, one of the most crucial parts of an entry-level phone is its SOC. Coming to the Camera, it supports Dual Camera with maximum 13+8 Megapixels. However, it will be unlikely to see fast charging in a phone at this budget anytime soon. Phone manufacturers can add fast charging using the MediaTek Pump Express. The latest generation Bluetooth 5.0 is also supported. The modem also supports Dual VoLTE technology. The modem has LTE Category 7 for downloading and Category 13 for uploading. Nevertheless, it is good to see an entry-level chipset supporting LPDDR4X memory. It depends on the manufacturer on which type of memory they decide to use. With LPDDR4X configuration, maximum memory supported is 6GB while in case of LPDDR3, it is 4GB. This chip supports both the LPDDR4X and LPDDR3 RAM. But heavy some games might lag on extended usage. At 720p, it can handle the majority of games without any issues. This is a decent GPU that supports a maximum display resolution of HD+ (1600 x 720). Instead of going for an ARM Mali GPU, MediaTek has picked the PowerVR GE8320 GPU this time.

This SOC has four ARM Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz frequency. It is fabricated using TSMC’s 12nm FinFET process. It is a low-end chip meant for entry-level smartphones. The Helio A22, also known as MT6762M is a 64-bit Quad-Core Processor for mobile devices.
