Product Description
The Helio P20 (MT6757V) is a mid-range processor that delivers a solid combination of performance, energy efficiency, and multimedia capabilities, making it suitable for smartphones aimed at consumers who want good performance without breaking the bank. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its strengths and how it performs in real-world scenarios.
Performance and Efficiency:
The Helio P20 features an octa-core CPU with big.LITTLE architecture. The high-performance cores (Cortex-A53 at 2.3 GHz) can handle demanding tasks such as gaming, multitasking, and HD video playback, while the power-efficient cores (Cortex-A53 at 1.6 GHz) are optimized for light tasks such as browsing, social media, and messaging, helping to save battery life during less demanding operations.
Built using 16nm FinFET technology, the Helio P20 offers a significant improvement in power efficiency compared to previous generations, resulting in better overall battery life. This chipset can sustain longer usage times without compromising too much on performance. It’s particularly suitable for mid-range smartphones looking for a good balance between performance and energy savings.
Graphics and Gaming:
The Mali-T880MP2 GPU is a powerful component in the Helio P20, enabling smooth gaming and media performance. This GPU allows the chipset to handle Full HD gaming and high-definition media playback efficiently. The Helio P20 is a good choice for users who play casual to mid-range games, as it can run games like Asphalt 8, Clash Royale, and Subway Surfers without any noticeable lag. However, it might face challenges with more graphically demanding games like PUBG Mobile or Fortnite at higher settings.
For media consumption, the Helio P20 excels with 1080p video playback, offering vibrant visuals for streaming videos, watching movies, and viewing multimedia content. The GPU ensures a smooth experience for HD content, making it a solid choice for users who consume video regularly.
Camera and Imaging:
The MT6757V supports up to 24 MP for single-camera setups and 13 MP + 13 MP dual-camera setups. With MediaTek’s Imagiq technology, the chipset offers enhanced features like real-time noise reduction, faster autofocus, HDR, and low-light improvements, which result in better image quality for both photos and videos.
The dual-camera setups allow for effects like bokeh and depth sensing, which enhance the user experience for portrait photography or blurring the background in photos. It’s an ideal chipset for photography enthusiasts in the mid-range segment who want a good balance between quality and price.
Connectivity:
The Helio P20 supports 4G LTE with Category 6 LTE, which means it can provide download speeds up to 300 Mbps and upload speeds up to 50 Mbps. This makes it suitable for streaming HD content, video conferencing, and fast browsing on the go. It also includes Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), which offers faster Wi-Fi speeds for streaming or large downloads.
Bluetooth 4.2 provides support for connecting to wireless accessories like headphones, fitness trackers, or smartwatches, while FM radio adds additional entertainment options for users who enjoy listening to radio.
Power Efficiency:
With the 16nm FinFET technology, the Helio P20 offers improved power efficiency compared to older 28nm chips. This means it can handle intensive tasks without consuming too much power, and users can enjoy better battery life throughout the day, even with moderate use.
