Samsung Exynos 9810: a new generation processor for Galaxy S8

Online has flown information about the Exynos 9810. This is a new mobile processor from Samsung. It can find use in the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus.

While it considered that Koreans prepared for the latest Exynos 8895 has the just improved version of the 8890-th chipset.

EXYNOS 9810 RELEASE DATE AND SPECIFICATIONS

It assumed that the Exynos 9810 will be released in two versions is 9810V and 9810M. They will be different the clock speed and number of cores of the graphics accelerator. Thus, the first will have an 18-core Mali-G71, and the second will have a 20-core.

Until such a decision is strange. Usually, Samsung makes its high-end smartphones on the same chipset of its own design. And they are not making the separation more powerful and weaker processors.  Such was the case Exynos 5433 (Galaxy Note 4), Exynos 7420 (Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge / S6 Edge + / Note 5) and the Exynos 8890 (Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge).

It assumed that the Exynos 9810 has four high-performance custom Mongoose M2 cores. It complemented the quartet AMR Cortex A53 cores energy efficient. So, this combination at Samsung has been successfully used for three years.

The real speed of the new mobile processor is not possible to estimate yet. If at the end of 2015 almost all of the network media are full of leaks from the benchmark, which test the Galaxy S7 prototypes. So, this time the surprising silences.

Until now, there was not else how a reliable leak test results Samsung Galaxy S8. Although there is no doubt that the smartphone has already existed in the “iron” and has thoroughly tested.

Author leaks about the Exynos 9810 are one of the employees of Samsung Bangalore R&D Institute. He has published this information on his LinkedIn profile.

Samsung Exynos 9 Octa Core – a new generation of mobile SoC

Samsung has hinted at the imminent announcement Exynos 9 Octa Core. This is a new generation of the mobile processor for smartphones. The exact release date has not been announced but probably it will take place before the Galaxy S8.

EXYNOS 9 OCTA CORE: RELEASE DATE

Presentation Exynos 9 held under the slogan promising «Discover cloud 9 with Exynos». The new chipset can be optimized for cloud computing. This should increase the number of cases in the overall performance of the “iron”.

EXYNOS 9 OCTA CORE: SPECIFICATIONS AND FEATURES

Basically, already now most of the smartphones is almost constantly in the mode of access to the Internet, it’s real. However, on the desktop cloud computing has long been a reality. The mobile devices usually limited to storing data in the “cloud.”

It is possible that the Exynos Octa Core 9 show already at the international exhibition MWC 2017 in Barcelona. And will give heating interest in the future Samsung Galaxy S8. While not the fact that the new generation of mobile processors Korean giant is meant for him.

It may also happen that the Exynos 9 designed for Galaxy Note 8. And the presentation expected in August or September of this 2017. Such a move is quite logical: then Note 8 will be the most powerful flagship of the company at the time of its introduction in the market.

Especially since the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, it had pinned so many hopes. In the first “insider” tests showing too little productivity growth not only in comparison with competitors like HiSilicon Kirin 960 but even last year’s Snapdragon 821.

Samsung Galaxy S8 vs Apple iPhone 7: eight benefits “Korean”

Not surprisingly, compare Samsung Galaxy S8 vs Apple iPhone 7 start now. As at this time the Koreans really have something to outdo the “apple” of the corporation.

Note: The comparison is purely provisional and based on insider information, which is not in all cases is confirmed by official sources manufacturer.

If the iPhone 7, not much really differs from its predecessor in the face of iPhone 6s, the Galaxy S8 is radically different from that previously released Samsung Mobile.

The new “Galaxy” is obviously likely to appeal to buyers who in recent years have become bored of the new forms. At the same time, they do not have to endure the “innovative” constraints such as the lack of a 3.5 mm connector for headphones at the last iPhone.

BENEFITS SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 VS APPLE IPHONE 7:

1. Big screen without side frames
2. Eye iris scanner
3. Fast charging QuickCharge 4.0
4. Wireless charger
5. DUAL SIM-card
6. Speed USB Type-C
7. Connector 3.5 mm headphone jack and headset
8. Contactless Payment NFC + MST

BIG SCREEN WITHOUT SIDE FRAMES

Samsung Galaxy S8 has a large 5.5-inch curved screen that fills nearly 90% of the front surface. These smartphone dimensions have remained virtually the same as in last year’s Galaxy S7.

For that Koreans had to abandon the hardware button “Home” and touch keys on either side of it, as well as to transfer the fingerprint scanner on the backside.

However, the result is definitely worth it. Galaxy S8 not only looks like a smartphone from the future but also allows even more comfortable to use mobile applications on the big screen.

Nothing like that is present in 7 Apple iPhone or the iPhone Plus is 7, in which the screen covers only about 2/3 of the available space.

EYE IRIS SCANNER

Biometrics today is clearly in vogue. IRIS-scanner had more at Galaxy Note 7, but the flagship Samsung had such serious problems with a battery that could spontaneously explode, and the company had to remove it from the production and recall the whole edition.

So promote this feature to the masses will be called exactly Samsung Galaxy S8. The scanner module is located on the front panel appear – left (right – front camera lens).

Recognize 7 Apple iPhone smartphone owner in his iris is not able, accessible only traditional fingerprint reader, which now has even cheap Chinese smartphones.

FAST CHARGING QUICKCHARGE 4.0

Some of Galaxy S8 will be made on the basis of a new and productive chipset from Qualcomm – Snapdragon 835. At least – version for China and the United States.

A Snapdragon 835 can boast the support of the fast at the moment fast charging technology QuickCharge 4.0. Would something like this is available in the case of Galaxy S8 on the basis of its own processors Samsung Exynos line – is not yet clear.

One thing is clear: the new Korean flagship will be charged much faster Apple iPhone 7, which is not friendly with fast charging (which at present is almost nonsense for the top-end smartphone) and 100% from scratch achieved more than five hours (and this despite the modest battery 1960 mAh).

In this regard, even last year’s Galaxy S7 can give “Apple-phone” ten points ahead.

WIRELESS CHARGER

Since we are talking about charging, do not be amiss to note the presence of Samsung Galaxy S8 and the possibilities of charging without wires thanks to the support of Qi and PMA adapters. This occurs until the bit longer than by wire but is much faster than in the case of Galaxy S6.

Apple is still clinging to the metal casing that prevents iPhone equipped with a similar option. And wishing to take advantage of wireless charging is necessary to buy inconvenient external adapters.

DUAL SIM-CARD

A significant part of Samsung Galaxy S8 supports the ability to install two SIM-cards, which for many buyers is a very important point. This not only saves on the tariffs but also convenient, for example, when roaming.

Owners of Apple iPhone 7 initially denied Dual-SIM. This is due to the fact that “Apple-phone” was originally designed with a focus on the US market, where most of the smartphones sold through operators with a contract. The final will be unprofitable if the vehicle owner will be to balance the tariffs.

However, in other regions, this strategy has stalled. And if Apple does not consider, say, the Russian market as a worthy gadget determine characteristics, that China is huge for us very tasty “morsel”.

Alas, despite an active advertising campaign and brand reputation, iPhone and did not become the most popular smartphone in China. And the fact that the first place on sales took his frank clone Oppo R9 – and Apple does is slap in the face.

Therefore, in 2017 it is expected to appear Apple iPhone 7s (or 8) to support the installation of two SIM-cards. It is true only in China.

SPEED USB TYPE-C

Unlike the Apple iPhone 7 with its proprietary connector, Samsung Galaxy S8 is equipped with a versatile and already quite common USB Type-C, which gradually replaces the old microUSB.

With the new Galaxy S8 connector supports data synchronization with the PC at high speeds under USB 3.1 standard, while iPhone 7 – USB 2.0 only.

This is not to mention compatibility with the widest range of USB-cables and chargers while condemning Apple iPhone owners to purchase exclusively specially adapted accessories.

Specifically, Cupertino requires mandatory certification program MFI charging cables, which gives a tangible increase in their cost. And when using a cheap “left” of the Chinese owner of an iPhone cord machine loses warranty.

CONNECTOR 3.5 MM HEADPHONE JACK AND HEADSET

Samsung Galaxy S8 deprived of perhaps the most questionable Apple iPhone 7 “innovation” in the form of a refusal from the usual audio jacks 3.5 mm. This smartphone can be connected to all the classic headset and wired headset without having to resort to an awkward adapter.

This Galaxy S8 can, for example, at the same time to charge or synchronize with a PC, and iPhone 7 without special third-party adapters (very inconvenient and bulky) – it is impossible.

This new flagship of Samsung thicker seventh “Apple-phone” only a fraction of a millimeter.

CONTACTLESS PAYMENT NFC + MST

New Galaxy S8, like its predecessors, supports contactless payments like using NFC technology (MasterCard PayPass / VISA PayWire), and the MST (tape emulation, works even with very old and antiquated terminals).

These features are available when using the original service Samsung Pay (about device compatibility, see here ). Payment only via NFC will work with any third-party applications.

Which do models not support smartphones Samsung Pay in Europe?

Apple iPhone 7 has only NFC-adapter, which can be used exclusively with its own payment system Apple Pay.

SUMMARY

As seen above, Samsung Galaxy S8 offers a lot of delicious options for which you can give up the Apple iPhone 7. It’s not even to mention the more capacious battery, the microSD support, a huge number of applications on Google Play, high-resolution screen and rich colors Super AMOLED matrix.

Galaxy S8 Battery will make Samsung SDI and Murata Manufacturing Works

Compared with other components, Galaxy S8 battery receives the largest percentage of attention. However, it is not surprising, because it is explosive battery eventually killed in the Galaxy Note 7 last year and dealt a powerful blow to the reputation of Samsung.

WHAT WILL BE GALAXY S8 BATTERY?

The bulk of the battery for Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus will produce, as before, a subsidiary of Samsung SDI (80%), which was organized specifically for the new flagship eight-safety control system, efficiency and product quality.

The remaining 20% of the delegate of the Japanese company Murata Manufacturing Works, which is currently engaged in supplying batteries for smartphones and other portable Sony Electronics.

Early letting out the battery for Samsung Mobile top products Chinese firm Amperex Technology at this time will not be involved in the case of Galaxy S8, despite the fact that its battery in the case of last year’s Galaxy Note 7 showed their best and almost caught fire spontaneously.

January 22 representatives of the Korean giant announced the official conclusion on the causes of the explosion of the seventh Note. According to this, it was due to too dense layout elements (design defects) and errors in actual designing batteries.

For these reasons we do not recommend replacing the battery is not removable Galaxy S8, particularly in the case of the acquisition of parts of dubious origin (these can also occur with time). This should be done only by an authorized service center.

In general, it is hoped that Samsung this time will take into account the sad experience and Galaxy Note 7 will make its new flagship as secure as possible for its owners.

Mini-presentation of Samsung Galaxy S8 still held at the MWC 2017

According to South Korean media, a small presentation of the Samsung Galaxy S8 at the international exhibition MWC 2017 in Barcelona still take place, but only in the format of the video period of one minute. ITS show February 26, in the “zero” day of MWC.

Therefore, the company not only quench the thirst of fans who have long been eager to learn how to actually Galaxy S8, how much effort their impatience: teaser obviously leave more questions than it gives answers.

In general, the focus of the event will not be a new flagship smartphone Samsung Galaxy Tab S3, and tablet. The latter can be called more gadget of the past year 2016, which somehow got lost in the manufacturer’s laboratory and has reached us only in the current year.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S8: SPECIFICATIONS

This is indicated by Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, a screen with a diagonal of 9.7 inches and a resolution of 2048×1536 pixels, 4GB of RAM and a storage capacity of 64 (?) Gb. So, no doubt, all the world’s media will write about it Galaxy S8.

Minute video disassemble the Personnel before the Samsung official put it in the net. It seems that some will be able to “suck up” even the whole review “for growth” from it.

At the site of competitors, such as Xiaomi, which also delays the output of the flagship Mi6 respect to the initial terms, we would have done just as well.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S8: RELEASE DATE 2017

A complete presentation of the Samsung Galaxy S8 will pass only on March 29, will go on sale a smartphone in the second half of April.

First real photo Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus and usual Galaxy S8

Insiders leaked to the network, most likely, the first real photo Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus with a large 6.2-inch screen and the usual Galaxy S8, which confirm the earlier rumors about radical changes in the design of the flagships of the Korean giant.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 PLUS AND USUAL GALAXY S8: PHOTO

Firstly, the company actually abandons the smartphone with a classic flat-screen for the top lines, so Edge console is now no longer needed, and place Galaxy S7 Edge takes Galaxy S8 Plus.

Second, Samsung, probably with an eye on the success of Xiaomi Mi Mix, decided to maximize the screen size without changing the dimensions of the device. Usual controls at the bottom will no longer be on the screen, the truth will have an additional button at the end. Also, the front is no longer adorns the company’s name.

Thirdly, it is very unusual and highly questionable in terms of the convenience of the location of the fingerprint reader on the right side of the main chamber. However, Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus may have an additional fingerprint sensor directly under the screen (photo this rumor is not confirmed or denied).

Fourth, on-screen Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus obviously guessed scanner eye iris. Most likely, the same and get the basic version.

Fifth, finally Samsung are shifting their flagships with a modern connector USB Type-C. In general, the transition should head for half a year ago Galaxy Note 7, but “did not happen” because of the hazardous battery.

IN GENERAL, A NUMBER OF ASPECTS OF THE KOREANS, ON THE CONTRARY, DEMONSTRATE LOYALTY TO THE “CLASSICS”:

• Saved, unlike the Apple iPhone 7 and 7 Plus is 3.5 mm jack for a headset.
• No dual camera Galaxy S8 Plus will not (if the photo is certainly true).
• Novelties enclosures have a metal frame, and the front and rear are protected by the impact-resistant glass with oleophobic coating.

In general, the first photos of Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus and basic Galaxy S8 has left a mixed impression. The big screen and the old dimensions – it is certainly good. However, the buttons at the bottom of the screen is still not enough, and their program “deputies” will take place on it.

DOUBTS ABOUT THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE PHOTOS GALAXY S8

In fact, still, can not say with certainty that the news will look exactly as pictured. Despite the fact that they were first published a very influential insider Evan Blass (network known as Evleaks), this is not indicative of their confidence.

For example, a mistake in the name of the company on the back of the smartphone ( «S» instead of «G»), and the location of the fingerprint sensor is contrary to all earlier leaks.

What will be the Samsung Galaxy S8 Active: an attempt to look into the future

New smartphone Samsung Galaxy S8 Active – perfect for those who need secure in every sense of the device, while delivering the most advanced and high-performance “stuffing.”

We expect that this year the tradition, Koreans released shockproof and waterproof version of the Galaxy S8. Most likely, it is true, it will be sold only in the United States through the mobile operator AT & T.

Given the large number of innovations that have distinguished Galaxy S8 from the S6 and Galaxy S7, its “active” version also promises to be quite unlike any of their predecessors.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 ACTIVE: SPECIFICATIONS

Since it is a smartphone, which will be sold primarily in the US market, as the hardware base is likely to be selected chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon 835. It should be supplemented by 6 Gb RAM LPDDR4 and drive UFS 2.1 minimum capacity of 64 Gb.

While ordinary Galaxy S8 has a curved screen like the Galaxy S7 Edge, Galaxy S8 Active, we assume, will get the classic flat screen. At least because the device is so much stronger.

But the hardware buttons at the bottom of the screen “active” Galaxy S8 are unlikely to get it. Otherwise, Samsung will have to either bet a smaller display or do based 5.5-inch diagonal frank “brick” of the screen, which is large even by the standards of “all-terrain” gadgets.

The rest of “iron” should be identical to the original except for, perhaps, the battery, which will have a much greater capacity in accordance with the requirements for smartphones protected class.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 ACTIVE: PROTECTION

It can be expected that the new product will meet the IP68 standard, which is available in the “simple” version of Galaxy S8. This means that the smart phone will easily withstand immersion to a depth of 1.5 meters for half an hour.

Of course, the Samsung can make a secure flagship tests even passing on the more advanced IP69 (smartphones such exist), but in practice, there is no great need. Is that the divers will be important.

Also, Samsung Galaxy S8 Active must be certified in accordance with military standard MIL-STD-810G, developed by the US Department of Defense. Through it the device will be able to withstand:

• Salty environment (eg, sea water);
• Dust and sand;
• Condensation of moisture;
• Heavy Rain;
• Vibration and shock;
• Solar radiation;
• High or, conversely, cold.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 ACTIVE: RELEASE DATE

Last year, Samsung Galaxy S7 Active entered the market in June, but this year in view of the transfer start Galaxy S8 in April may be that the S8 Active gets to the buyer is not until August, and sometimes even in September.

In general, such delays are undesirable, however, the “active” flagship Samsung is not so much competition. The vast majority of smartphones are protected sufficiently slow “iron” and the weak multimedia capabilities.

It’s worth noting that the Galaxy S8 is unlikely to be sold anywhere other than the mobile operator AT & T in the US (as mentioned in the beginning). So those who wish to purchase it in Russia will have to decide whether to unlock stuff gadget to work in local networks.

Such huge even by modern standards, the screens were made possible in part because the hardware Home button has disappeared, and a fingerprint scanner moved to the rear panel, next to the camera (see. Photo above, which shows the 6.2-inch version of the Galaxy S8). Similar leaks at the end of last year and received from Bloomberg. Below you can see the outlines of the front panel more clearly:

• 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of flash memory (also promised a microSD slot) – like the Galaxy S7;
• 12-megapixel main (with an aperture of ƒ / 1.7) and 8-megapixel front camera. Compared to the Galaxy S7 nominally changed parameters are only the front camera (before it was a 5-megapixel). However, the main camera allegedly receive support technology OCR – Optical Character Recognition;
• Battery 3,000 mAh battery, and 3,500 (at the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge were respectively 3,000 and 3,600 mAh);
