Some people said it's just a rebrand of HG99, quite close, but HG100 is created with 20% energy efficiency, newer HyperEngine, newer 4G type...

Your right, Ive tested Oppo reno 13F 4G (Mediatek Helio G100) vs the Samsung A16 4G (Helio G99) in all kinds of tests, And the Oppo reno 13F 4G wins in cooling and score. Though its not a super big difference the better option is the G100. This website i dont know why the A16 wins in some benchmarks.

There's something that's not aligning here. We all know that the Redmi Note 13 pro 4g sports the Helio G99 burlt it uses a 200MP main sensor and here they're saying it's max is 108MP 🀷

so let me get this straight the g100 is just a rebrand with slight ai capabilities compared to g99, I mean what the actual hell the g100 is rebranded from g99 which was rebranded from g96 which was rebranded from g95 which was similar to g90t, in the mid range mediatek has been pretty scammy just like intel or nvidia is nowadays what a bummer

G99 is not a rebrand of G96. G96 is made on a 12nm process, whereas G99 is made on a 6nm process. Also, their clock speeds are different.

G90t was a king bro. The gpu was not trash like these other 90 series. And nanometer upgrade is nothing in day to day life. I used note 8 pro, narzo 5, note 14. (I lost my phone every yearπŸ˜“)

I Think the improvement is just the camera resolution to 200 MP, which is same like the Helio G99 ultra, So I think no performance improvement?

..., No. You got it wrong, he meant rebranding as in selling the same thing but under a different name. Not sub brand Which is basically like: Helio Dimensity Snapdragon All those names are sub brands

Matthew, I came to the section to be entertained... glad I wasn't disappointed. πŸ˜‚πŸ€£ What a marvel of scummy-ass engineering. Just hit CTRL+C and paste with CTRL+V. What a complete waste of my time here... And phone brands like Redmi thought it to be a good idea to ship their more expensive Redmi Note 14 Pro 4G with this sloppy processor... πŸ’€πŸ’€ Damn.
