You know just when you think that these companies have finally given up on the 4G era and we’re ready to move on into the 5G age, something happens that just blows you away. This is one of such happenings. Let’s discuss the Unisoc T7300.
Now when I heard that there’s a Unisoc T7300, I didn’t care at all. I mean Unisoc have been very consistent with their renaming and having seen the Unisoc T7250 and the Unisoc T7280, I fully expected the Unisoc T7300 to be just a slightly faster chip.
Boy was I wrong! Unisoc have upgraded the 4G game and I cannot even be mad. I’m just impressed, blown away. I’m supposed to be objective here but this is what we’ve been crying out for, for ages. Unisoc finally implemented it and I’m starting to suspect that one of you readers here works for Unisoc. Because what Unisoc has done is absolutely fantastic. I just hope that it is as good in real life as it is on paper.
The Unisoc T7300 is a lower mid-range 4G ARMv8 SoC that is designed to bring decent performance to budget 4G smartphones. It is a decent upgrade on its predecessors the Unisoc T7280 and Unisoc T7250. Built on a 6nm EUV TSMC process, this SoC is also designed to go easy on a phone’s battery.

Performance:
This SoC ships with 2x Cortex A78 performance CPUs running at 2.2GHz and 6x Cortex A55 battery efficiency CPUs running at 2.0GHz. This is the first time that I’ll be seeing the Cortex A78 on a non 5G SoC.
I remember complaining one time about the fact that old performance cores like the A77 and A78 should be making their way down to the lower mid-range because of the performance boost and this is it!
This 2+6 (A78+A55) set up alone instantly makes it the best 4G processor in the world by some distance. This means that it will outstrip both the Helio G100 and Helio G200 in pure CPU performance alone. So take that MediaTek!
For Graphics, there’s an ARM Mali G57 MP2 here running at 950MHz which isn’t very surprising. It’s a lower mid-range SoC after all.
RAM and Storage:
It supports an LPDDR4 or LPDDR4X RAM running at 2133MHz and for storage, manufacturers can pair it with a UFS 2.2 module.
Benchmarks:
When you test for performance, you can see that on GeekBench 6, this SoC hits 924 in single core performance and 2248 in multicore tests. On AnTuTu 10, it scores just over 500k. What this means is that the Unisoc T7300 is officially the fastest 4G processor in the world. Hands down.
Based on these results, the Unisoc T7300 is competing with the likes of the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2, Dimensity 6400, Snapdragon 6s Gen 3, Dimensity 7060 etc.
Display:
The Unisoc T7300 supports displays of up to 1080p (FHD+) with 120Hz refresh rate.
Camera and Video:
This Processor can handle cameras of up to 108MP and can record videos of up to 2K@30fps and 1080p@144fps.
It also uses Unisoc’s proprietary image engine, the 7th Gen Vivimagic in collaboration with a quad core Unisoc ISP for image processing.
For Audio, it supports HiFi 4 and Hi-Res audio
Connectivity:
It is however still a 4G processor and still supports WiFi 5 but it does accommodate the latest Bluetooth 5.4 so that’s something.
In conclusion
Whilst I’m all for phasing out 4G chips, I cannot see such an offering and thumb my nose at it. That would be incredibly silly. This is a powerful SoC that would outperform processors like the Dimensity 6080. It is a solid lower mid-range processor with almost 100k+ advantage over the Helio G200 on AnTuTu.
Do I recommend this SoC? Well if it does what it says it would do in terms of raw performance, then yes, Unisoc deserves to take my money.
