MediaTek has silently introduced the Helio G91, an upgrade to Helio G88 SoC which was introduced 3 years back. This has support for up to 90Hz FHD+ display, same as the predecessor, but has support for up to 108MP main camera with in-sensor zoom, an upgrade from 64MP in the previous model.
The Octa-Core CPU features two Arm Cortex-A75 CPUs operating at up to 2.0GHz and six power efficient Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 1.8GHz along with ARM Mali-G52 MC2 GPU clocked at 1.0 GHz, same as the G88.
