MediaTek has introduced its new processor, the Helio G200, made for budget gaming smartphones. This chip offers major updates for phones in the budget and mid-range market. Brands like Xiaomi, which focus on affordable phones packed with features, will benefit most. The Helio G200 continues from the Helio G100, which powered popular phones like the Redmi Note 14 Pro 4G. But the new G200 provides better camera capabilities, smoother gaming, and faster internet options. This launch allows MediaTek to add high-end features to lower-cost phones, fitting well with Xiaomi’s plans.
The G200 features an improved octa-core processor. It has six Cortex-A55 cores running at 2.0GHz and two Cortex-A76 cores at 2.2GHz for better speed. The graphics come from the Mali-G57 MC2 GPU, now clocked at 1.1GHz for better visuals. It also supports faster RAM up to 4266Mbps and UFS 2.2 storage, which helps apps load faster and transfers data quickly. MediaTek’s HyperEngine tech enhances gaming by optimizing network, touch input, and screen response.
According to the company, the G200 offers over 35% faster performance in AnTuTu benchmarks, 40% better single-core and 20% better multi-core scores in Geekbench, 75% faster GPU performance, and a 30% power efficiency gain in gaming scenarios.
The camera and display specs remain unchanged as well. The G200 supports up to 200MP sensors, multi-frame noise reduction, and 12-bit dual conversion gain (DCG) for video HDR. The display pipeline supports Full HD+ at 120Hz, assisted by MediaTek’s Intelligent Display Sync, which dynamically adjusts the refresh rate for better power efficiency.
As for connectivity, the G200 includes an integrated Cat-13 4G LTE modem with support for dual 4G VoLTE, 4×4 MIMO, 256QAM, and a handful of global bands. It also includes a new 4G DC SAR that improves social and messaging app performance in low-signal areas.
Overall, the G200 is a repackaged G100 with marginal gains in clock speed, some minor power optimizations, and a few updated marketing terms.
Phones like the Redmi Note 14 Pro 4G, powered by the G100, have already sold well. With the G200 now out, new Xiaomi phones will get better gaming, photo quality, and connection speed but stay affordable. Users can also try the MemeOS Enhancer app from the Play Store. It unlocks hidden features, updates the system, and helps improve devices with MediaTek chips like the G200.
Overall, the Helio G200 changes the game for budget phones. It offers faster speed, better cameras, and more stable connections. People looking for powerful but affordable phones will find many good options with this chip.
