Further details
Notes on Helio G99:
- The MediaTek G99 Ultimate is essentially the same chip as the G99, with a slightly higher clock speed and no noticeable performance difference. "Ultimate" naming was added for marketing purposes and could confuse the average consumer.
Notes on Dimensity 8100:
- There are "Max" and "Ultra" versions which are basically all the same. The Dimensity 8100 Ultra features optimized software, while the Dimensity 8100 Max boosts the clock from 2.85 GHz to 2.9 GHz.
