Since its inception, the Taiwanese chip-making giant MediaTek has been constantly improving and working on every new product that they put forward in the market. Every new product they come up with is naturally better than its predecessors. When the company launched its Gseries chipsets it actually changed the gaming scene in the market with its affordable gaming chipsets powering budget phones and making all the gaming enthusiasts ecstatic. The Helio G70 is part of the Gseries range by MediaTek and is one of the best budget gaming chipsets available in the market.

MediaTek has till now launched seven of its Helio Gseries chipsets that are specifically designed to deliver a fine gaming experience for the mid-ranger and budget smartphones. The MediaTek Helio Gseries chipset family has been making up a storm at the gaming market with its rapid sensing touchscreens and vibrant visuals, making for a rich and realistic gameplay in keeping with the brand’s price-reliability and adherence to great technology. The Taiwanese giant is known to make affordable technology for the masses while constantly upgrading and improving their products. In its Gseries chipsets, MediaTek has integrated their in-house gaming technology for one of the finest gaming experiences in budget smartphones.

The Helio G70 is most ideal for regular high-level gamers. The chip powers smartphones like Realme Narzo 10A, Infinix Note 7, Realme C3, and more recently the Infinix Hot 10 smartphone. For gaming, an efficient, high-performance Arm Mali-G52 class graphics processor operates up to a speedy 820MHz. The Helio G70 incorporates a pair of powerful Arm Cortex-A75 CPUs that operate up to 2GHz, plus six Cortex-A55 CPUs in a single, octa-core cluster. All of these are interlinked and share a large L3 cache for improved performance. This is followed by up to 8GB of fast LPDDR4X memory. Because the Helio G70 is primarily a gaming chipset, an efficient, high-performance Arm Mali-G52 class graphics processor operates up to a speedy 820MHz for optimum performance.

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 G70 and G80 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.
