In 2023 there is no excuse to just use Cortex A53 cores. Mediatek should as an absolute minimum use a couple of A76 large cores to improve single threaded performance.
MediaTek has indicated that the updated Helio G36 SoC will be the one to bring specs such as 50MP rear cameras and 90Hz displays to the new budget, 4G/LTE-only smartphones of the near future. It also boasts a GPU optimized with the OEM's HyperEngine 2.0 Lite features for potentially enhanced gaming at this tier; then again, some on-chip specs remain unchanged compared to its predecessor.
