MediaTek Helio G36 vs MediaTek Helio A25

Comparisons   27-03-2023
   Detailed compare data of MediaTek Helio G36 vs MediaTek Helio A25, examination of graphics chips (GPU). A careful analysis of all the specifications of the SoCs, so that it can be easier to read, is presented in the form of the table. From the comparison video, you can get the results of parallel examination in special test applications such as Geekbench, PCMark, AnTuTu, 3DMark, Vellamo, Neocore, PassMark, Quadrant, GFXBench, and how good the chipsets are in games GTA, Madout2, Asphalt 9, Minecraft, Fortnite, PUBG, Call of Duty etc.
   After looking at the data these tests and videos, you already be able to know which SoCs is better to buy Helio G36 or Helio A25.
