In July, Infinix announced its Infinix Concept Phone 2021 with 160W fast charging support. Rumors that were doing rounds before its announcement had claimed that it would be launching as a Zero series of smartphones. While the concept phone may never release in the market, the company does seem to have plans to launch new Zero branded smartphones as a new handset called Zero X Neo has emerged at the Google Play Console.

The Infinix Zero X Neo was seen at the Bluetooth SIG authority in June. Now, it has been spotted with its X6810 model number at the Play Console. The listing has revealed that the device will be powered by the MediaTek Helio G90 chipset and 8 GB of RAM.

The listing further states that the Zero M is equipped with a Full HD+ display that offers a 480ppi pixel density. It will come preinstalled with Android 11 OS.

The X6810 Infinix phone was also spotted at the Malaysian SIRIM certification site in June. Interestingly, the listing revealed that it may debut in Malaysia with the Infinix Zero M moniker. Moreover, its Geekbench appearance revealed that it is equipped with specs like the Helio G95 chipset, 8 GB of RAM, and Android 11 OS.

Hopefully, newer reports will clear out the confusion regarding the moniker and specs of the X6810 Infinix phone. The Play Console listing is a good indicator that it may break cover as soon as this month. It is speculated that the next generation Zero lineup includes two other phones called the Zero X and Zero X Pro.

At July end, MediaTek had unleashed the gaming-centric Helio G90 and Helio G90T chipsets. After its announcement, Redmi as well as its General Manager Lu Weibing had revealed through Weibo that the company will be releasing Helio G90T powered Redmi phones in future. Since then the rumor mill has been speculating that the Redmi Note 8 or Note 8 Pro could be equipped with the Helio G90T. The official confirmation has come from MediaTek now. It has revealed through Weibo that Helio G90T powered Redmi Note 8 series will be debuting on Aug. 29.

The poster released by MediaTek states that the Redmi Note 8 and Note 8 Pro will be both powered by Helio G90T. However, there is a possibility that only the Redmi Note 8 Pro could be equipped with Helio G90T processor. The reason behind it that the Redmi Note 8 Pro is expected to come equipped with a 64-megapixel quad camera setup. Among the Helio G90 and Helio G90T processors, only the G90T carries support for 64-megapixel camera.

So, if the 64-megapixel camera sensor will remain exclusive to the Pro model, the Redmi Note 8 could be equipped with a different chipset. Since MediaTek is also endorsing the Redmi Note 8, probably it could be fueled by the Helio G90 that supports 48-megapixel primary lens. Before drawing conclusions, it is advisable to wait for further reports to know exact details on the camera configurations and processors for Redmi Note 8 and Note 8 Pro handsets.

The post MediaTek announces Helio G90 and G90T: G is for Gaming appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this month we heard about MediaTek possibly launching a new SoC for gaming phones called the Helio G90 to combat the recent announcement of the Snapdragon 855+. It’s an interesting prospect since the Snapdragon 855+ is a strictly high-end chip, so the budget gaming market is not only wide open, but also ripe for the taking.

Well, apparently MediaTek had the exact same idea, and are acting pretty quickly. The company is set to release their brand new line of Helio G-series SoCs on July 30. The manufacturer plans to introduce the G90 SoC at an event in Shanghai, and then follow-up from there with more models in the future. It’s a pretty smart move, though we question how well a budget oriented gaming smartphone would work.

On top of that, we’re also not entirely sure what the Helio G90 will actually be like when it launches when it comes to specs. We’ve got a leaked poster for the SoC but it doesn’t reveal much other than the fact that it is targeted at mobile gaming. Going off the name, it wouldn’t be stretch to say that it’ll be based on the Helio P90, but that’s just a simple assumption.

Perhaps more interesting will be seeing how the company deals with making gaming SoCs to begin with. MediaTek SoCs have never been well known for their gaming performance, and their GPUs are often weaker than the competition, though not by too much. Whether they’ll step up and give us something great or just settle for a more conventional package remains to be seen. We’re hoping it leans more towards the former.

The post MediaTek’s Helio G90 gaming SoC gets July 30th launch date appeared first on Gizmochina.

Following the launch of the Snapdragon 855+ yesterday, reports have surfaced about MediaTek‘s plan to launch a new mobile processor. The new processor which is called the Helio G90 will be the first of a new line of mobile gaming-focused chipsets.

A poster of the Helio G90 has leaked but it doesn’t reveal much other than the fact that it is targeted at mobile gaming. There are rumors it will be officially announced by the end of July, hopefully, more details will surface before then.

We are also curious to know which manufacturers will adopt the Helio G90 which it launches. Xiaomi hasn’t announced a phone powered by a MediaTek processor this year. The Mi Play released last year was the last Xiaomi phone with an MTK chipset. Other big-name manufacturers like OPPO and Vivo have announced multiple phones with MediaTek chipsets, so one of them might be the first to announce an Helio G90-powered device.

Last month, MediaTek announced the Helio P65, an octa-core processor with Cortex-A75 and Cortex A55 cores, making it more powerful (CPU-only) than the Helio P60 and Helio P70. However, it comes with a less powerful GPU, doesn’t support UFS 2.1 storage like the P70, and only supports single-channel LPDDR4x RAM. On the plus side, the P65 has a better NPU than the P60 and P70.

The Helio P65 will make its debut in the Indian version of the Vivo S1 which is reported to launch in early August.
