MediaTek Helio G36 Vs Snapdragon 480 Processor: Memory, Multimedia (ISP) Comparison

The MediaTek Helio G36 mobile chipset supports LPDDR4X memory type with up to 1600MHz frequency range. The maximum memory allocation compatibility with the Helio G86 is up to 8GB. Whereas, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 SoC also comes with LPDDR4X RAM support with a maximum allocation of up to 8GB. So, no difference in memory compatibility.

But that’s not the case with the storage type. The MediaTek Helio G36 comes with just eMMC 5.1 storage support, while the Snapdragon 480 has eMMC 5.1 and UFS 2.2 storage compatibility.

Helio G36 Vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 480: Final Verdict

Considering all the aspects, the Snapdragon 480 mobile processor seems to be slightly better for budget Android phones. But the performance delivery will be equivalent when we compare it with the Helio G36. Not much is different in both processors except for the thinner fabrication process and GPU. Both these chipsets would be a good pick if you have your budget fixed.
