MediaTek Helio G85
Summary
The MediaTek Helio G85 was a defining processor for the mid-range smartphone segment. It built upon a well-tuned combination of Cortex-A75 and Cortex-A55 cores. This chip was manufactured using the then-common 12 nm process. This architecture enabled a very balanced performance. It's particularly noteworthy how reliably the MediaTek Helio G85 handles everyday applications.
Browsers, messengers, and social networks continue to run very smoothly on it. Even light multitasking is not a major challenge for it. Another plus is the integrated graphics unit, the ARM Mali-G52 MP2. This offered decent performance for mobile games even upon release. Many popular titles of the time could be displayed well.
Even today, some casual games are easily playable with it. The maximum memory bandwidth of 14 GB/s contributes to the overall performance. The MediaTek Helio G85 was always a smart choice for manufacturers who valued a good price-performance ratio. For users looking for a solid and reliable smartphone, it is still a worthwhile option.
