Compare Helio X10 and Helio X20 processors for the speed of real smartphones. And compare the autonomy of the phones: Which chipset saves the battery save?

It seems that the result of the confrontation MediaTek Helio. X10 and Helio X20 is known in advance. Processors came out with an interval without a small year, and the senior representative of the a priori rule should be faster than the predecessor. So there is, but the question is how faster it is, and how does the program part, the firmware of the smartphone, the difference in the speed of the models of different generations and different manufacturers?

For comparing Helio X10 and Helio X20 processors, we chose two smartphones of well-known and popular Xiaomi and Meizu brands. Let's see how the upgrade of the hardware at the speed of work and, and also. The younger representatives of Linek, as you understand, are built on the MediaTek Helio X10 processor, and the elders are on MediaTek Helio X20.

MediaTek Helio X10 and Helio X20 processors: Characteristics

On the theory, we will not stop long. The main characteristics of Helio X10 and Helio X20 are collected in the same table, and immediately under it the most interesting is the comparison of real smartphones.

Helio X10 and Helio X20: TEhProcess and battery consumption

Helio X10 processor (MT6795) is made by norms 28 nm TEMPROSISSA, and his senior teamwork on the standards 20 nm Techport process. In practice, this means that the phones on the X20 (MT6797) must heat up less and efficiently work with the battery.

Check theoretical calculations is not difficult. The autonomy rating of the smartphones participating in comparison is known, as is known and the time of work from one charge with different modes of use (viewing video, work on the Internet, calls). It remains to compare the numbers.

When comparing autonomy phones xiaomi. We observe a curious picture. Redmi Note 4 on x20 longer keeps the battery with standard use mode. Autonomy rating is higher at 11 o'clock, which means that if you every day you will watch a video, work online and talk on the phone, the Redmi Note 4 battery will last longer than the predecessor. Battery capacity, diagonal and screen resolution of smartphones are identical, so that they are ideal for comparing chipsets.

When working on the network, the advantage of the 2016 model is planned, but in the next test, this advantage disappears: in the video viewing mode, Redmi Note 4 keeps the battery exactly the same (you can neglect the difference in 10 minutes), how much predecessor.

For a full picture, we compare the time of work from one charge of two phones Meizu.. If it is not too patient to numbers, you can come to similar conclusions. Autonomile rating MX6 on the X20 is higher at 13 o'clock, but when working on a network and watch video, we do not get a tangible benefit: smartphones are holding around 10 hours, after which you need to urgently look for charger and outlet.

Verdict. The transition to a new technical process did not give a noticeable increase in the autonomy of smartphones. Why is that? Talk about it in the results. As for overheating, all smartphones are strongly heated, and Helio X20 also has no advantage.

Helio X10 and Helio X20 processors: Number of cores and speed

Number of nuclei affects the speed of work central processor (CPU) in multitasking mode. On paper, 10-core Helio X20 has an obvious advantage here, it remains to confirm its test results. The computing power of the central processor is estimated in the benchmark GEEKBENCH.

In GeekBench 3, the advantage of Redmi Note 4 is more than obvious, but when comparing mEIZU smartphones The picture is obtained blurred. Yes, the X20 is faster, but the difference is not so great. Moreover, we see that MEIZU MX5 on Helio X10 (MT6795) almost reached the Redmi Note 4 on Helio X20 (MT6797). The firmware affects the CPU speed, and the optimization of the software can level the difference in the number of cores.

MediaTek Helio X10 and X20: Graphic Adapter and Frairm in Games

Helio X10 installed graphics PowerVR G6200.and Helio X20 MT6797 got a much more powerful adapter Mali-T880.. Advantage in speed with video and 3D graphics on the side of smartphones on Helio X20, and the test results are once again confirmed. The power of the graphics accelerator is tested in GFX and Basemark X benchmarks. The results are on the charts, the comments are superfluous.

MediaTek Helio X10 and X20: total speed of smartphones

The games and the computing power of the CPU are certainly important, but I would like to understand how fast the smartphone on a thom or other processor will be completely responsive and trouble free. You can check this in complex tests, which are all the favorite Antutu and Basemark OS 2.0 (or old version Basemark OS II).

When compared xiaomi smartphones We see the full domination of Redmi Note 4 on MediaTek Helio X20. With such a difference, there is no doubt that the phone will work faster, even if you are skeptical about the synthetic "parrot".

The balance of strength does not change and when comparing two generations Meizu MX, but there is no obvious domination. Yes, the advantage of Helio X20 in Antutu is large, but it is not twofold, as in the case of Siaomi phones. Basemark OS phones are gaining close points, which correlates with the results obtained in Geekbench.

Results of comparing Helio X10 and Helio X20 processors

The MediaTek Helio X20 processor is faster than the predecessor, you will not argue with this, but some comments and comments will be asked by by themselves:

  1. You will notice the greatest difference in games and when working with 3D graphics. Helio X20 adapter is much faster.
  2. The computational power of the Helio X20 central processor is higher, but much depends on the software and the manufacturer. For example, MX5 on X10 is inferior to Redmi Note 4 on the X20 smallest.
  3. The net speed of smartphones on MediaTek Helio X20 is significantly higher, and in this case the brand or software cannot compensate for the lag Helio X10.

As for autonomy, overheating and trolling, the transition to 20 nm technical process did not give that increasing time of work or a decrease in temperatures, which would allow to talk about a qualitative step forward.

Equality between Helio X20 and MediaTek Helio X10 in terms of battery consumption is easy to explain. In the older model, more nuclei, and they work at higher frequencies. There are in the processor and powerful kernels built by the architecture of Cortex A72, which consume maximum energy. If it were not for the transition to 20 nm, X20 would literally destroy the battery for 5-7 hours, and so we got similar autonomy with a noticeable increase in phone power. Everything is natural.

On this we put the point. If found in the material of inaccuracies or errors, write in the comments, we will definitely correct. Thank you for your attention, and thank you for staying with Five-Inches.

The other day in the database GeekBench smartphone HTC One. A9 with a 10-core MediaTek Helio X20 processor on board. The gadget showed high results, which, in principle, is not surprising. Our Chinese colleagues with mydrivers.com decided to compare MediaTek Helio X20 with other chipsets that are available or will be available on the market in the future. MediaTek Helio X10, Samsung Exynos 7420, and Snapdragon 810 and 820, as well as Snapdragon 810 and 820 were elected, and Snapdragon 810 and 820. The following can be seen that the Helio X20 results exceed the Helio X10 performance by 40%. In GeekBench 3 in the test using one Helio X20 kernel, he also won, surpassing the results of the opponent by 70%. In the test using all nuclei, the superiority has been preserved, but the gap between chipsets is not so large - only 15%. Also MediaTek Helio X20 surpassed Exynos 7420, which clearly demonstrates the diagram below. Recall that most applications for performing the tasks have enough such kernel.

If you compare the Helio X20 indicators in Antutu with the results of Snapdragon 820, then the explicit leader is difficult to highlight. The chipsets work approximately at one level, but Snapdragon 820 clearly distributes its competitors when working with 3D graphics.

As you know the other day I came out a new version Smartphone with a Snapdragon 650 processor from Qualcomm. GalaGram cites a comparison of Snapdragon 650 chips, Snapdragon 808. and MediaTek Helio X10.

Snapdragon 650.

Compare will be compared based on Antutu data, since only they are still available for all three SOCs. Here are indicators from the benchmark for the processor SNAPDRAGON 650:

The total number of points that scores SNAP 650 in Antutu is 78979 that is quite good for the processor of this class. The chip has 2 cortex A72 kernels and 4 Cortex A53 kernels, so it is simultaneously productive and energy efficient. The Adreno 510 graphics core also keeps graphics at level.

Snapdragon 650 against SNAP 808 and Helio X10

The following screenshot shows that Qualcomm tried well: both SNAP 650 and 808 processors went around Helio X10 in a synthetic test. If you compare SNAP 650 and 808, then the first is gaining more than the second points than the second.

MT6795. (Helio X10) scored 48354 points, this is a good indicator, but it clearly does not reach the creations from Qualcomm. We remind you: The Helio X10 processor from MTK is rightfully considered one of the best budget processors, chinese Xiaomi. The first integrated the chip into the smartphone, which cost only 1000 yuan.

Pleasantly surprised the fact that Snapdragon 650. Not only bypassed the Chinese MT6795, but also overtook the CHIP of the middle segment of SNAP 808. On Snapdragon 808, such devices are operating as others.

Snapdragon turned out to be a really interesting processor. They are powerful and not expensive. Would you like to see the REDMI Note 3 indicators on this SOC, the owners of the first version of the Redmi Note 3 are already biting elbows?

Helio X10 is one of the most successful processors from MediaTek. It is worth understanding that this is primarily a budget decision. However, companies manage to install it in their top devices and sell at the price of flagships on the SNAPDRAGON 810 processor. In our opinion, Helio X10 is very balanced, and, most importantly, he has no overheating problems that are observed both from Exynos, and Snapdragon.

Below we will tell you about several new products equipped with this processor.


One M9E was presented quite recently and has a number of significant differences from the flagship One M9. Here is a Helio X10 processor, operating at a frequency of 2.2 GHz, a 5-inch FullHD display, a 13-megapixel camera with optical stabilization (the same installed in one A9), 2 GB of operational and 16 GB of integrated memory. What they are similar, so it is in a fully identical body - to distinguish the Visually M9E from M9 you will not work. The price of the device in China is 420 dollars - this is the limit when the purchase still attracts.

Meizu M1 Metal


Meizu always knew how to create ideal products regarding price and quality. M1 Metal, which is sold in China by $ 174 for a variation with 16 GB of internal memory, will delight consumers with a fully metal case, a Helio X10 processor, a 5.5-inch fullHD display, a battery for 3140 mAh, 13-megapixel camera with phase autofocus chamber, Fingerprint scanner, which is capable of scanning a fingerprint in just 0.48 seconds. Random access memory Here are 2 GB LPDDR3 built-in 16/64 GB.

Letv Le 1S.


The newest LE 1S, presented a few days ago, except Helio X10, has also uSB port Type-C, 5.5-inch FullHD display, 13 megapixel camera, 3 GB of operational and 32 GB of internal memory, a battery for 3000 mAh. Fingerprint scanner, a metal housing with a thickness of 7.5 mm, thin side frames will give the feeling of using the flagship device. By the way, the price here is not flagship. The device will be sold in the US at a price of $ 170.

What are the results? The innovations of the market as a whole will delight consumers with a low price. The most attractive purchase, in our opinion, is the last option. However, do not forget Xiaomi Redmi. Note 2, because it is also a fairly interesting alternative, however, we decided to include only the most freshest.
