Starring the ol’ reliable MediaTek Helio G99
You’ve seen the camera, now you will see how well it performs for a casual user. In this section, we will cover the benchmarks, battery life and charging, and real-life gaming usage and show you how it feels using this phone as a gaming device (spoiler: you shouldn’t).
Benchmarks: As Expected
To recall, the Samsung Galaxy A07 4G features the ageing, but quite reliable, MediaTek Helio G99 made with a 6nm process, so while using it for longer periods, the phone does not feel tense. This chipset comprises of two Cortex A-76 performance cores at 2.2GHz, and six Cortex A-55 efficiency cores clocked at 2GHz. This type of arrangement is somewhat dated, but it works well for budget phones because it is a good balance of performance and power efficiency, and it is relatively affordable to construct. The Helio G99 also uses a manufacturer favorite, if not overused, Mali-G57 MC2 GPU.
The phone comes paired with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage, plus a dedicated MicroSD Card Slot for up to 1TB to store videos, photos, and important files. Perfect for those who are studying and doing TikTok or making videos at once. Another good news for the technical researchers reading is that the Galaxy A07 4G is upgraded from eMMC 5.1 to UFS 2.2, allowing for faster read and write times, which is always a welcome in prices like these.
On Geekbench’s CPU test, the Galaxy A07 4G came with 726 points for Single-core and 1966 for multi-core. This is within the realm of reality for the MediaTek Helio G99.
On AnTuTu, the Galaxy A07 4G has a score of 546,248 points. Which is nothing out of expectations for the Galaxy A07 4G. This should be the minimum for phones within this price range, and not phones priced PHP 15,999.
