Chip maker MediaTek introduced the G90 series of processors aimed at gaming smartphones last summer. Now the company is introducing a more affordable Helio G70 series aimed at mid-range gaming phones.
Basically that means you can expect less impressive CPU and GPU specs, but enough horsepower to enable reasonably decent performance for gaming on the go.
That’s a strategy that rival Qualcomm is also embracing — the company’s Snapdragon 730G and 765G chips are basically souped up versions of their mid-range processors with the same model numbers (sans the G at the end) designed for affordable gaming handsets.
Here’s what we can expect from the MediaTek Helio G70:
- CPU: 4 x ARM Cortex-A75 @ 2GHz + 4 x ARM Cortex-A55 @ 1.7 GHz
- GPU: ARM Mali-G53 2EEMC2 @ 820 Hz
- Memory: Support for up to 8GB LPDDR4x 1800 Mhz
- Storage: Support for emMC 5.1
- Max Display resolution: 2520 x 1080
- Camera: Up to 48MP or 16MP + 16MP
- Wireless: WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, LTE Cat-7 DL/Cat-13 UL
Other features include support for up to 60 fps video playback at 1080p or up to 30 fps video at 2K resolutions, and support for AI-enabled face unlock.
MediaTek says the chip also uses “HyperEngine game technology” for intelligent management of CPU, GPU, and memory resources to help with gaming performance.

Nearly the same compare to Helio P65…
Nothing new…
