So this chipset can only turn the table at 1080p 60fps... 1440p is locked at 30fps. 4K probably 15fps. This truly a low end processor for entry level phones like Galaxy A16 (ex.).

Bro it's a reliable chipset for budget phones and can still run many modern games and apps. But if you want power and 4K recording, go check out Snapdragon models or Dimensity models as well. This chipset has aged well tho.

Gpu is not the bottleneck cpu is. only 2 Cortex a76 at 2.2 which is not enough many game cant even utilise 60% gpu cpu goes 100% so is the lag

Fun fact: the Helio G99 is just an upgraded version of the G96. All they did was convert the G96's 12nm chip to a 6nm fabrication. They should have made the G99 support 4K in-camera recording and playback, and also have a robust GPU just like the G95. Honestly, Helio G series enthusiasts are very disappointed with this G99. If MediaTek had upgraded the G95 to become the G99, we would definitely have loved the G99. I guess it's time to switch to a phone that has a Dimensity or Snapdragon chipset.

This SoC performs poorly for video decoding and encoding, as it uses significantly more battery power during video playback compared to older SoCs like the Exynos 9610.

Alwindar Lee, As I've heard before, the Helio G99 Ultra is actually a rebranding of the standard Helio G99. Xiaomi collaborated with Mediatek to enhance their ISP. This updated tech was introduced in their new Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G and Poco M6 Pro models.

The Ultimate and Ultra merely overclock the frequencies of the CPU and GPUs, and configure them for a 108MP camera, similar to the Tecno Spark 20 Pro Plus.
