G90T still legendary to this day. Kickstarted cheap mobile gaming. Even though the MP4 GPU still edges out the one on the G100. I would still go with the new chips. As 12nm process is a heater and a battery slurper. Still have a realme 6 around the house. Wanted to see how it squares up against my new redmi pad 2.

Its just crazy how MediaTek keeps getting away with this, they keep making refresh of the G90T with a newer fabrication process as to keep it up with modern apps, then make the rest of the soc terrible, the G100 support up to 200MP but can only do 2k at 30fps meanwhile the G90t of over 6 Years can do 4K 30fps, that is diabolical in my opinion.
