The Helio G95 doesn't perform well, particularly when it comes to gaming. The experience on the Redmi Note 10 S is subpar compared to the Snapdragon 680 4G on the Oppo Reno 8 4G. You would think the CPU is from a low-end device, but it actually outperforms mid-range phones. There's no lagging on any game. The experience on PUBG and Call of Duty is excellent! πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†
