There’s a new 4G processor that’s here to turn the market upside down and we’re going to be comparing it against an old giant. This is the Unisoc T7300 vs Helio G200.
For a while, the MediaTek Helio G200 was held up as the world’s best 4G processor. MediaTek has held this title for the last 2 years at least since Qualcomm and Exynos decided to leave this side of the market.
MediaTek used the Helio G99, Helio G100 and finally Helio G200 (which were simply clones of each other) to lay claim to this title. However, there is a new competitor here to challenge the Helio G200.
The Unisoc T7300 is a lower mid-range SoC from the stables of Unisoc. A company which is experiencing a mini revival. The Unisoc T7300 builds on the Unisoc T7280 to offer even better performance for smartphones whilst going easy on the battery.
The Helio G200 is also a lower mid-range SoC as well. It quietly replaced the Helio G100 earlier this year and also offers very decent performance to budget and lower mid-range devices as well.

CPU performance
The Unisoc T7300 comes equipped with 2x Cortex A78 performance CPUs running at 2.2GHz and 6x Cortex A55 battery efficiency CPUs running at 2.0GHz. The Helio G200 on the other hand is stuck with 2x Cortex A76 running at 2.2GHz for performance with 6x Cortex A55 running at 2.0GHz for battery efficiency.
When it comes to pure CPU performance, the 2 Cortex A78 CPUs on the Unisoc T7300 will easily outpace the 2 Cortex A76 CPUs on the Helio G200. This one is a very simple comparison. Performance easily goes to the T7300. In other tasks that do not require the performance CPUs, both SoCs will run at the same pace as they both use 6 Cortex A55 CPUs running at 2.0GHz.
CPU performance: Unisoc T7300
GPU, Graphics and Gaming
Both SoCs use the same Mali G57 MP2 GPU but there’s a slight difference between both of them. The Mali G57 MP2 on the Helio G200 is slightly faster at 1.1GHz whilst the Mali G57 MP2 on the Unisoc T7300 runs at 950MHz
Whilst this 150MHz isn’t much and wouldn’t have that much of an influence in real life performance, it should be stated clearly that the Helio G200 has the slightly better GPU.
GPU performance: Tie (slight advantage to the G200)
RAM and Storage
Both chips support LPDDR4X RAM at 2133MHz and UFS 2.2 storage. So this one’s a tie.
Benchmarks
This is the point where we turn to synthetic benchmarks to see which one’s better.
On GeekBench, the Unisoc T7300 wins easily in both the single core (924 to 738) and the multi-core (2248 to 2011) tests.
On AnTuTu, the Unisoc T7300 scores just over 500,000 points to steamroll over the Helio G200 that top out at 440,000.
The Unisoc T7300 is easily the better performer according to our analysis which is backed up by both tests.
Display Support
Both processors support displays of up to 1080p (FHD+) with 120Hz refresh rate. This one is another tie.
Cameras and Videos
In the camera department, the Helio G200 takes the cake with support for cameras of 200MP whilst the Unisoc T7300 maxes out at 108MP camera support.
In the video department, both processors can do videos of 2K @ 30fps and 1080p @ 60fps. The T7300 takes it further by doing 1080p@144fps.
Connectivity
Both processors support 4G LTE, WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.4 and GPS. There’s nothing here to separate both of them. It’s another tie.
Tally time
- CPU performance – T7300
- GPU performance – Tie
- RAM/Storage – Tie
- Benchmarks – T7300
- Display – Tie
- Camera – G200
- Video – Tie
- Comms – Tie
Overall, both SoCs are on the same level so the plenty draws are absolutely expected. However, in the area where it matters, the T7300 wins and that is enough for me to crown it the winner of this comparison.
