Mediatek Helio G100 vs Mediatek Helio G96

Mediatek Helio G100

► remove from comparison Mediatek Helio G99

The MediaTek Helio G100 is an entry level ARM SoC (system-on-a-chip) that can be used in both smartphones and tablets (mainly Android). Technically comparable to the older Mediatek Helio G99 but with support for up to 200 MP main cameras.

The SoC integrates two ARM Cortex-A76 cores with up to 2.2 GHz for demanding tasks and six small ARM Cortex-A55 cores with up to 2 GHz clock speed in a power-saving cluster.

The integrated 4G LTE modem supports Cat-13 (400 Mbps download, 150 Mbps upload). Wi-Fi 5 (a/b/g/n/ac) is also on board. The memory controller supports LPDDR4x RAM with up to 4266 MHz.

A maximum of UFS 2.2 memory can be used for mass storage.

The MediaTek Helio G100 is manufactured using the 6nm process.

Mediatek Helio G96

► remove from comparison Mediatek Helio G96

The Mediatek Helio G96 is a mainstream ARM SoC for smartphones (mainly Android based) that was introduced in 2021. It is manufactured in a 12 nm FinFET process and is equipped with 2x big ARM Cortex-A76 cores with up to 2.05 GHz and 6x small and power efficient ARM Cortex-A55 cores (max. 2 GHz) in two clusters (bigLITTLE). The chip integrates an ARM Mali-G57 MC2 (two cores) clocked at up to 950 MHz. Compared to the similar Helio G95, the G96 offers a slower GPU but supports 120 Hz displays (G95 90 Hz).

Furthermore, the integrated LTE modem supports Cat-12 600 Mbps download and Cat-13 150 Mbps upload speeds. Wi-Fi 5 is also integrated (a/b/g/n/ac). The memory controller supports LPDDR3 and LPDDR4x with up to 2,133 MHz with up to 10 GB capacity.
