G99 is used in a large number of knockoff tablets on Amazon and various other sites. I would rather pay the extra and know I'm getting a better chip than save a few bucks buying something made by a company that couldn't get a handle on performance for more than half of the life of the company. Unisoc has done better over MediaTek and they're barely used in anything these days. Paying a little more for guaranteed performance over what amounts to a technological joke seems like a no brainer.

How does Helio G99 manage to handle a playable 48fps with ultra setting in Genshin Impact? Meanwhile, the SD695 handles at 19fps in low setting.

No, these frame rate results for the games shown are completely wrong, as they're based on the device illustrated by G99. This device is not globally available, and the company is not known to be global. Its performance varies per manufacturer, but the reality is that the G99 processor achieves only 40 FPS in PUBG. In addition, the frame rates for the rest of the games shown here are also wrong. I suggest you try out this processor with manufacturers such as Samsung, Realme, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. I guarantee you will find the results completely different and lower than what's displayed here, especially regarding the G99 processor. As for the Snapdragon 695 processor, it surpasses the CPU Cortex-A78 & GPU in strength, consumes less energy (4W), and has better connectivity. As it happens, processor prices differ from one manufacturer to another and between every market in every country. If the Snapdragon 695 and G99 are available at the same price, I suggest you immediately opt for the Snapdragon 695. However, if there's a significant price difference in favor of the G99, you might want to consider buying it. Still, I advise you not to rely solely on the frame rate tests available on this site. Instead, do some research, watch some YouTube videos, or ask people who own the device you're interested in purchasing.

Why does my SD695 display 80-90fps in Mobile Legends on Ultra graphics with a super refresh rate, while in COD it only shows 60fps on Ultra graphics? It seems there is some misinformation here.

The Snapdragon 695 is superior to the G99. The G99 GPU has fewer shading units and gigaflops, even though they have the same number of execution units. A higher GPU clock speed does not compensate for having fewer shading units and gigaflops, as these elements are critical for fast graphics rendering in high-end gaming. Therefore, the Snapdragon 695 is substantially better.

There are two types of G99: the standard G99 and the ultimate G99. The ultimate version has a lower bench but higher gaming fps; it's also an optimizer. You can find it in high-end phones such as Samsung A24 and Infinix Note 30 Pro.

Depending on the phone, the G99 in cheaper phones has very poor performance compared to the same SoC in a different phone. So in some cases, the 695 is better. If you're considering buying a cheap phone with a G99, please check out some phone reviews first. The performance of the SoC can vary greatly.

Obviously, the 695 is better in almost everything, but considering how close they are and how much cheaper devices with the g99 are, my vote goes to the g99. If the devices have similar prices go for 695.

Yes, but if you compare the FPS gaming scores, the G99 has a higher FPS in every game. That indicates that G99 is still a superior choice for gaming.
