MediaTek Helio G99
The most stubbornly popular 4G chip of the decade: a 6nm design with two Cortex-A76 cores that still turns up in new budget phones and tablets years after launch. Cheap, cool and entirely adequate — provided you never needed 5G.
Pros
- Very efficient TSMC 6nm design
- Supports 108MP cameras and FHD+ 120Hz displays
- Cool and predictable under sustained load
- Kept budget phones and tablets affordable for years
Cons
