After launching Dimensity 820 5G chipset for mid-range Smartphones, MediaTek now launches its newest chips in the smartphone gaming-focused G series – Helio G25 and Helio G35. Both chips use MediaTek HyperEngine game technology for faster & smoother performance, enhanced power efficiency, and also improved graphics.
Both chips are powered by Arm Cortex-A53 CPUs, clocked at up to 2.0GHz & 2.3GHz for the MediaTek Helio G25 and G35 respectively. For graphics, these chips feature IMG PowerVR GE8320 GPUs, with speeds of up to 650MHz for G25 and up to 680 MHz for G35. Both the MediaTek Helio G25 and G35 have optimal power efficiency due to an advanced 12nm FinFET production process which, combined with MediaTek HyperEngine’s intelligent power management, ensures long battery life and power efficiency, even during long gaming sessions, the brand said in a media release.
MediaTek Helio G25 and G35 Features
MediaTek HyperEngine Game Technology – The chips feature an enhanced MediaTek HyperEngine, for intelligent resource management that ensures sustained and smooth performance, even in demanding action. When the Wi-Fi signal is weak, the technology intelligently triggers Wi-Fi & LTE concurrency within milliseconds, to ensure a lag-free connection. MediaTek HyperEngine also allows users to defer calls while in a game for interruption-free gaming.
Multi-Camera Smartphones – Support multi-camera smartphones and include a hardware depth engine for dual-camera bokeh photography. The G25 supports a single camera mode of up to 21MP at 30fps, while the G35 supports up to 25MP cameras and enhanced camera features including simulated bokeh effects.
EIS and RSC – Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) and Rolling Shutter Compensation (RSC) engines cleverly mitigate warped (‘jello effect’) videos when capturing fast action or panning video. The chips enable brands to adopt popular AI-camera enhancements such as AI beautification, Smart Photo Album and enhance precision in bokeh captures.
Fast & Reliable Connectivity – Both Helio G25 and G35 chips feature integrated 4G LTE WorldMode modems, including essential dual 4G SIM support, allowing VoLTE/ViLTE on both connections. Also, the chips offer MediaTek TAS 2.0 smart antenna technology, which actively detects signal quality to provide the best connection with low power consumption.
Integrated Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5 – Significantly boosting throughput and connection reliability when using Wi-Fi and wireless peripherals, like headphones and gamepads.
Commenting on the launch Dr. Yenchi Lee, Deputy GM, Wireless Communications Business Unit, MediaTek said “Mobile gaming is now the preferred mode of entertainment across market segments, and MediaTek expanded its G-series to meet the huge demand for competitively priced, mainstream gaming smartphones. The MediaTek Helio G25 and G35 chips offer smartphone users premium features included in our other G-series family, including enhanced power efficiency, optimum performance, seamless gameplay, and enhanced photography”
