Mediatek Helio P90

Mediatek Helio P90

The Mediatek Helio P90 is an upper mainstream ARM SoC for smartphones (mainly Android based) that was introduced in 2019. It is manufactured in a 12 nm FinFET (12FFC) process and is equipped with 2x big ARM Cortex-A75 cores (2.2 GHz max.) and 6x small and power efficient ARM Cortex-A55 cores (2 GHz max.) in two clusters (bigLITTLE). The processor also integrates a Cat-12 (600 Mbps DL) / Cat-13 (150 Mbps UL) LTE Modem (4G), a PowerVR GM 9446 GPU, and ISP for 64 MP photos and 4K videorecording, and a AI Processing Unit with a theoretical performance of 1165 Giga-Multiply-Adds per second. The memory controller on the die supports dual-channel LPDDR4x-1866 (8 GB max.) and flash memory can be connected by UFS 2.1.

The CPU performance should be slightly below a Snapdragon 730 (e.g. in the Reno2 Z in our benchmarks) and therefore in the upper middle-class of 2019 smartphones.

Reviews for the Mediatek Helio P90 processor

Carbon Mobile Carbon 1 Mk II

Carbon 1 Mk II smartphone review - Innovative, light and outdated

With some delay, but a revolutionary carbon chassis, the Carbon 1 Mk II finally comes to the end user. Some things still feel like a prototype, but at the same time you have the feeling that you are holding a revolution in your hands. Is that enough to convince in everyday use?

Oppo Reno3

Oppo Reno3 Smartphone Review – Many Lenses for Little Money

Oppo offers a classic mid-range smartphone with the Reno3. However, a unique selling point is the quadruple camera, which is similarly found in much more expensive models. We take a closer look at the China smartphone in the review.

Oppo Reno2 Z Smartphone Review

Oppo Reno2 Z Smartphone Review: Pseudo quad-cam phone with ups and downs

The Oppo Reno2 Z is a slightly lower-end version of the Reno2. However, our measurements indicate grave differences between the two Oppo phones - more than one might think from a quick glance at the specifications. In this review of the mid-range smartphone, we determine whether the Reno2 Z still receives our recommendation.
