Qualcomm and Mediatek are cut throat competitors in the midrange market. When the Helio G90T was released to great fanfare in 2019, Snapdragon soon replied with the SD720G in Jan 2020 which became an instant hit. Mediatek fired back the next month with the Helio P95.

The SD720G can be found on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S and 9Pro while the Helio P95 powers the all new Oppo A93. Intending buyers may be wondering, which phone is the better phone in terms of performance, gaming, heating, app switching/multitasking, battery conservation, network and connectivity etc. A lot of the aforementioned are dependent on the SoCs used. So without wasting further time, lets look at SD720G vs Helio P95.

Note: This is an SoC comparison alone.

Microarchitecture

The SD720G is an octacore SoC with a 2+6 big.LITTLE arrangement of 2 Kryo 465 Gold (A76) cores running at 2.3GHz and 6 Kryo 465 Silver (A55) cores clocked at 1.8GHz. The Helio P95 is also an octacore SoC with the same 2+6 big.LITTLE of 2 cortex A75 (2.2GHz) and 6 cortex A55 (2.0GHz).
The SD720G has the better “big” cores and would handle heavy tasks and apps better. The P95 on the other hand may seem faster because it has faster “small” cores for normal light tasks such as watching movies slightly better.
Point goes to the SD720G.

Instruction Set Architecture

They are both built on the ARMv8.2-A ISA so this is a tie.

Size

The transistors on the SD720G are 8nm while those on the Helio P95 are 12nm. This means that the SD720G will be cooler, heat less, be more efficient and conserve battery better than the Helio P95.

GPU

The SD720G comes with the Adreno 618 GPU which is much better than the PowerVR GM9446 on the Helio P95. The Adreno 618 together with the CPU cores on the SD720G will handle games better and faster than the Helio P95.

RAM

Both the SD720G and the Helio P95 come with LPDDR4X RAM modules but the SD720G has the faster RAM which is clocked at 2133MHz as compare to the 1866MHz on the P95. This means that multitasking and app switching as well as loading times will be faster on the SD720G.

Storage

The SD720G and the P95 both use UFS 2.1 storage option. In addition, the P95 supports eMMC 5.1. So point goes to the P95 for having more storage options.


ISP

SD720G come with Spectra 350L on board as well as Hexagon DSP 692 for AI and machine learning. Mediatek on the other hand did not name their ISP but they did say that there is APU 2.0 on board. APU stands for AI Processing Unit.
This means that SD720G supports maximum camera resolutions of up to 192MP. The P95 on the other hand maxes out at 64MP. They both record 4K video at 30fps but while SD720G can play 4K video back at 30fps, the P95 can do it at 60fps.
SD720G may not be able to playback 4K video at 30fps but it has the better ISP so it takes this point.

Maximum Display Resolution

Both can display video at a resolution of 2520 x 1080p. It is a tie here.

Modem and connectivity

The SD720G has onboard an X15 modem which has uplink speeds of 150Mbps and downlink speeds of 800Mbps. The P95 has a generic cat.12 modem with uplink speeds of 150Mbps and downlink speeds of 600Mbps.
Both SoCs have WiFi 5 but the SD720G steps ahead with a Bluetooth 5.1 while the P95 uses the version 5.0.

Benchmarks

On GeekBench, the SD720G has scores of 574 (single core) and 1719 (multi core). The P95 stays behind with scores of 399 (single core) and 1507 (multi core).
With the addition of GPU test scores on Antutu, the gap between both SoCS is widened further to 281040 (SD720G) and 211053 (P95).
SD720G is the clear winner in terms of performance.

Age

Both SoCs were released this year with the SD720G being announced in January and the P95 showing up in February.

Final say

SD720G is better. No contest.

Redmi Note 9S is sold for around 95k for the 6/64GB model while the Redmi Note 9Pro is sold for 112k for the 6/128GB model.

Oppo on the other hand crosses 130k.

atheist always delivering

OVA200:
Always like the way you dey do justice to this comparison.
Kudos bro.

Oppo has been unreasonably high in term of price driving their value for money low.
Realme is the new champ in town with what they offer for the price.

is there a walkin store where i can get a realme phone
pointek and slot dont sell them

Are they both better than the G90T?

Kunja2:
Are they both better than the G90T?

G90T supports gaming better than 2 of them
SD720G has better CPU performance and all round specs
Helio P95 has nothing on them both

oh alright. Thanks for the insight

Nice write-up op. Ur write-ups has really open my eyes about phones though i am still a newbie

I wish all those phones sellers will have knowledge of all this stuffs not just arguing anyhow.

I escort my friend this evening and he wanted to buy phone for his friend, so the guy gave us a “tecno camon copy” i have check it and i saw that it has android version 7.0. I then told him if they have version 8 it will be okay (because i read somewhere that coming next year there will be security issues on version 7.1.1 downward).

He said if they want they can upgrade the version of any phone, i said is a lie will they upgrade original tecno phone he said yes, i just leave him seeing that he only need argument

He just start bombarding me that android version is nothing in phone bla bla bla..... that the major concern in phone is Ram, camera and Battery and he called his colleague which says that major problem is 2g, 3g network ( i was like see stupid ooo).

Then my friend sees that our argument will not finish so he just called the sales guy to anoda place they discuss and he bought the phone.

As we are going I told the sales guy that the point of argument is to share knowledge but him he just want to win argument. That him spending (12years selling phone) doesn’t mean he knows everything about phone. That he should open his mine to accept facts. He still disagrees with me, i just left him with his ignorance

Some do have a good amount of knowledge and some do not at all but what matters to them is that they sell phones, even if the phone's are bad. They don't care.

Phones running on anything less than Android 5 have been killed off by Google.

Android 5, 6 and maybe 7 could be next by 2021 December.

Tecno do not update their OS, they only send security patches and this is for 6 months. After that, you're on your own.

Stop bothering yourself with convincing people. Let them buy what they want jare.

I would always go for MediaTek Helio P95 processor because it is good for gaming as well as normal uses. Great job MediaTek.

I don't think its ignorance anymore! it is a fact that the mediatek helio P95 is being preferred by many people as the performance is quite good as compared to previous Mediatek chipsets

good but why prefer p95 over 720G, its more like saying i prefer nigeria to South Africa

Hello,Please can u send me the link to download gcam for lg g7thinq.
