I've never seen a site as crappy as nanoreview Why does helio g88, which is a renamed version of g85 (there are upgrades), not support UFS while g85 and g80 do?

Check the specifications of these processors on the official website. None of them officially support UFS memory. But at the same time, there are Helio G80 smartphones with UFS 2.1 memory. Therefore, we have indicated that Helio G80/G85 supports UFS 2.1. Thank you for your comment.

The Helio G88's performance is really disappointing. Even with a 90Hz screen, the CPU can't handle the 2K resolution, which makes it laggy, even on the system UI. After this experience, I will never purchase a MediaTek phone again. #SnapdragonForLife

Be it Snapdragon, MediaTek, or any other SoC maker, you always get what you pay for.

I've verified that it's a really good post. Many people still have a 1080P display and are now upgrading their devices to 2K. You can check it out. I hope this will provide you with more knowledge about the issue that people are facing. Please consult this and suggest the best version.

Most people still have 1080p displays which are excellent PPI for a cell phone, which most people stare at screen-wise. I could care less about 4k vid. Ppi is JUST as important.
