Performance

Cubot Max 2 is equipped with a MediaTek Helio P22 (MT6762) system-on-chip. Built on TSMC's 12nm FinFET process, it is created especially for budget modern smartphones that used dual camera setups and need rich connectivity options. The chipset integrates four 2GHz and four 1.5GHz Cortex-A53 CPU cores. They are accompanied by a 650MHz PowerVR GE8320 GPU. There are 4GB of single-channel LPDDR3 RAM on board, clocked at 933MHz and 64GB of eMMC 5.1 storage, expandable with up to 256GB. Of those 64GB, 56GB are available to the user.

The results from all tests above clearly show that in terms of performance, the Helio P22 chipset is positioned at the level of the Helio P23 system-on-chip. This is our first smartphone with it, so there's no direct comparison of how other devices with this chipset perform. The Helio P22 SoC is relatively new, with the first smartphones based on it being announced in 6 months ago.
