Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 (8998) vs Mediatek Helio G85 vs Mediatek Helio G88
Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 (8998)
► remove from comparison
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Mobile Platform (MSM8998) is a high-end SoC for smartphones (mostly Android based) that was released early 2017. Its one of the first processors that is manufactured in 10 nm (LPE FinFET at Samsung). The SD835 is the successor to the Snapdragon 821.
It integrates 4x Kryo 280 at 2.45 GHz (max) for performance and 4x Kryo 280 at 1.9 GHz (max) for efficiency. Furthermore offers an X16 LTE modem, 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ad WiFi, a dual-channel 32-Bit 1866 MHz LPDDR4x memory controller, an UFS 2.1 controller, Hexagon 682 DSP, Spectra 180 Image Seonsor Prozessor, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, GLONASS, Baeidou, Galileo Satellite Support.
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.

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 (unverified, maybe also 2 GHz). 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. Compared to the older Helio G85, the G88 now supports 90 Hz displays and features version 2.0 of the HyperEngine.
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.
