In terms of powering budget and low mid-range gaming smartphones, MediaTek is already way ahead in the competition than its contemporaries. With its Gseries family of chipsets MediaTek has gained quite the following among young gamers. The Helio G95 is the brand’s latest gaming chipset in the series and succeeds the previous champion the Helio G90T, which was already an established performer in the market. The Helio G95 powers phones like the Realme 7 and the Realme Narzo 20 Pro and is a pretty solid performer. In specs, the MediaTek Helio G95 SoC has 8 CPU cores and of those 8 CPU cores 2 cores are Cortex A76 clocked at 2.05 GHz and the other 6 cores are Cortex A55 clocked at 2 GHz. In terms of the GPU, Mediatek Helio G95 has an Arm Mali-G76 MC4 GPU with 900 MHz frequency. It offers support for up to 2x LPDDR4x RAM up to 10 GB operating at a frequency of 2133 MHz, and eMMC 5.1 and UFS 2.1 storage standard.

Gaming is an important and integral part of people’s lives especially for the youngsters who live and breathe in the games inside their mobile phones and computers. Mobile gamers are always on the lookout for affordable options with a supportive processor to fulfill their requirements. With a pandemic making people shut up in their houses, the rise in the demands for mobile gaming smartphones have increased as more and more people are finding their solace in mobile games. With MediaTek this problem is somewhat solved. MediaTek’s Gseries chipset family aims to solve this very problem with their powerful and specifically designed chipsets to cater to the gaming craves of its consumers.

With Helio G95 as was before with the Helio G90T, MediaTek has opened a lot of doors for young gamers looking for powerful but affordable options. The Helio G95 chipset manufactured by MediaTek is more than capable of supporting heavy duty games such as PUBG and Fortnite. MediaTek has been consistently coming out with brilliant technologies and surprising consumers with their very affordable prices. The addition of the Gseries chipset family was an incredible feat on part of the organisation and a wonderful gift for the consumers. The Gseries chipset family manufactured by MediaTek specialises in gaming aspects and uses their in-house gaming technology to boost up power and provide a lag-free experience. MediaTek’s HyperEngine gaming technology boasts of providing eye-popping images and a lag-free run which makes the gaming experience smooth sailing. This technology is especially suited for tackling graphically challenging games like PUBG and Fortnite which can make even a very high-end device heat up fast.

This is where MediaTek’s HyperEngime game technology delivers without taking a toll on the phone’s battery life and performance. The MediaTek HyperEngine technology uses artificial intelligence to consistently deliver a smooth gameplay experience while managing the phone’s resources. This technology is also the one major USP of MediaTek that makes it stand apart from the crowd with its smart game solutions on the Helio G95 making it more than capable of providing a very dependable gaming experience on budget smartphones, making us forget this used to be a dream some years back.
