The Dimensity 700 is trash. This chip has 5G connectivity, but it's useless. The 5G results in my smartphone overheating like crazy and the gaming performance is abysmal. The Helio G99 is a much cooler chip and its GPU runs at a higher speed. That makes G99 better for gaming.

Kazakl, Are you kidding me? Helio G99 is better than Dimensity 700, Dimensity 700 is burdened by 5G so it's less suitable for gaming, when talking about speed and chipset coolness for gaming, Helio G99 is clearly superior because it's 6nm.

I have both the Redmi Note 5G and the Tecno Pova 4, and they deliver similar performance. I was expecting an AnTuTu score of 376,957 for the Helio G99 in terms of performance, but it matches the Dimensity 700. However, the Dimensity 700 takes the lead due to its superior 5G network connectivity, which offers a better data connection for online gaming.

The Dimensity 700 is the winner because of its 5G support. Much better download/upload speeds, which to me is crucial. At a raw performance level, it's basically the same, I'd say in everyday use they are indistinguishable, being the Dimensity a 5G.

They are so close and I know its benchmarks change with certain devices every time you test it you get a different result so I will say they are practically the same.

So very close, and the dimensity 700 from almost 2 years prior to g99, has 5g connectivity, making it the winner. Who wants a slightly better chip with no 5g? Not me.

Joshua, It depends on where you live; in my area, 4G is better than 5G.
