MediaTek Helio A25 Process The A25 uses the 12nm FinFET process by TSMC. Since it’s an entry-level SoC, the process seems to be fine knowing that there are many entry-level SoCs which are still running on the 14nm process in 2020. MediaTek Helio A25 CPU The Helio A25 uses the octa-core, dual-cluster (4+4) layout. It consists of 4 x Cortex A53 cores running @1.8GHz and 4 x Cortex A53 cores running @1.5GHz. Let me be clear, don’t expect any sort of high or mid-performance from this SoC, since it’s not even using the latest Cortex A55 architecture. But instead, it uses its previous generation which is Cortex A53 which doesn’t even exceed the 1.8GHz max frequency. The A25 is only made for power-efficient performance and for ultra-cheap smartphones under the $100 (and even lower) price tag. MediaTek Helio A25 GPU MTK Helio A25 has IMG PowerVR GE8320 as the GPU which offers casual entry-level gaming only. The GPU frequency is 600MHz and is only a single core. MediaTek Helio A25 AI MediaTek Helio A25 doesn’t have a dedicated AI or DSP. However, it does offer NeuroPilot and AI camera features. MediaTek Helio A25 AnTuTu Since this SoC is an entry-level SoC, it scores around 93,758 points on the Infinix Hot 9 Indian Version (3GB+32GB). Here’s MediaTek Helio A25 Antutu score compared with Helio P22 vs Helio P25 vs A22 vs Snapdragon 439: MediaTek Helio A25 Connectivity Helio A25 doesn’t support 5G networking. That being said, it offers 4G LTE and FDD networking. The maximum download speed for 4G LTE is Cat-4 (16 Mbit/s). Interestingly, it’s good to see Bluetooth 5.0 module support and WiFi 5 networking as well. MediaTek Helio A25 Camera The maximum single camera support on A25 is 16MP and the max dual-camera support is 13 + 5MP. The maximum video recording it 16MP @30 fps.See alsoSnapdragon W5+ Gen 1 makes its debut with the release of TicWatch Pro 5Muhammad Arbaz·May 29, 2023 MediaTek Helio A25’s camera features include: AI Face ID (Face Unlock) AI Smart Photo Album Single-Cam/Dual-Cam Bokeh Hardware Warping Engine (EIS) Rolling Shutter Compensation (RSC) engine MEMA 3DNR Multi-Frame Noise reduction As we can see the AI Face ID, Bokeh and AI smart photo album are the highlights of this SoC. MediaTek Helio A25 Display The SoC supports a maximum display of HD+ (1600 x 720 px) resolution. All phones using these SoC will have this or below resolution. MediaTek Helio A25 Other Features All phones running on A75 will have max RAM support of 4GB which could be LPRDD3, LPDDR4, LPDDR4x, and eMMC 5.1 storage. It’s good to see some nice optimizations and features as well such as: CorePilot (effective power distribution) Imagiq (effective camera and image performance) MiraVision (effective display optimization) NeuroPilot (AI optimization) Pump Express (fast charging) Tiny Sensor Hub (AI and IoT management) FM radio MediaTek Helio A25 Phones Since this is MediaTek, we won’t see the Helio A25 limited to a specific manufacturer, but almost every phone manufacturer. The price range of phones in which this SoC is present is from $50 to $100 which is the entry-level phones. As of now (July 27, 2020), it’s present in 5 phones: Infix Hot 8 Infinix Hot 9 Play Infonix Smart 4 Plus BLU G90 Tecno Spark 5 Pro Wiko View4 Lite Information is taken from (1)
