Mediatek Helio G85 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 vs Mediatek Helio G80
Mediatek Helio G85
► remove from comparison
The Mediatek Helio G85 is a mainstream ARM SoC for smartphones (mainly Android based) that was introduced in 2020. It is manufactured in a 12 nm FinFET process and integrates 8 CPU cores. Two fast ARM Cortex-A75 cores with up to 2 GHz for performance tasks and six small ARM Cortex-A55 with up to 1.8 GHz for efficiency. All eight cores can be used together thanks to Heterogeneous Multi-Processing support. The integrated GPU is a ARM Mali-G52 MC2 (MP2) with two clusters at up to 1000 MHz (up from 950 MHz from the otherwise similar Helio G80). The SoC also integrates the HyperEngine that handles a dynamic management of CPU, GPU and memory.
The SoC integrates furthermore a LTE radio with Cat-7 (download) / Cat-13 (upload) support, Wifi 5 (ac), Bluetooth 5.0, LPDDR4x 1800 MHz and eMMC 5.1 storage.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 3
► remove from comparison
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 (SM6375) is an ARM-based SoC for smartphones and tablets in the upper mid-range segment. Launched in mid-2024, the chip offers two fast ARM Cortex-A78-based cores with up to 2.3 GHz and 6 ARM Cortex-A55-based power cores with up to 2 GHz.
The design of the chip and the technical data are similar to the older Snapdragon 695. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 is manufactured using the older 6 nm technology and has a higher maximum clock rate as well as some new features compared to the 695. As a result, the performance in our tests with the Motorola Moto G85 is also slightly higher than the older Snapdragon 695.
The integrated graphics card is the Adreno 619. The 5G modem called Snapdragon X51 achieves a maximum of 2.5 GBit / 0.8 GBit (download/upload) and supports mmWave. The FastConnect 6200 subsystem offers Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 5 (8x8 sounding, dual band, 2x2). All important satellite positioning systems such as GPS, QZSS, GLONASS, SBAS, Beidou and Galileo are supported.
The image signal processor for the cameras supports 3 cameras. Up to 108 megapixels are possible with the main camera and the recording of images in HEIC format is also possible.
