Samsung's Exynos 9810 processor may bring iPhone X-like features to New Galaxy S9
Samsung's Exynos 9810 processor may bring iPhone X-like features to Galaxy S9
Samung introduced its Exynos 9 series processor, the 9810 but never gave details on its capabilities until yesterday (January 4). The South Korean tech giant in a blog post has mentioned what it will bring to the table for the Samsung fans.
The firm says its Exynos 9 Series 9810, as mentioned before, is manufactured using company's second-generation 10-nanometer (nm) FinFET process. It also has faster Gigabit speeds and supports 'sophisticated image processing with deep learning-based software.'
Samsung claims all the usual upgrades like what are mentioned by others like Apple and Qualcomm in their processors regarding better multi tasking capabilities. The octa-core processor's multi-core performance is also said to be 40% better as compared to its predecessor.
The processor is widely expected to arrive in the Galaxy S9 and is claimed to include Apple iPhone X's FaceID-like feature. "This cutting-edge technology allows the processor to accurately recognize people or items in photos for fast image searching or categorization, or through depth sensing, scan a user's face in 3D for hybrid face detection," says Samsung.
Exynos 9810 is said to detect realistic face tracking alongside increasing the level of security while unlocking the handset using facial recognition. The company claims the processor has a separate security processing unit to keep data like face, iris and fingerprint information safe.
Another highlight of the processor is its camera handling capabilities. Samsung says the new SoC supports 120 fps slow motion video recording in UHD resolution. For reference, Apple iPhone X (A11 Bionic processor) supports maximum of 120 fps slow motion recording in full-HD resolution. The specifications page of the processor also suggests it to support 4K display resolution along with camera sensors up to 24MP.
Samsung has also talked about AI application integration with the processor. "The Exynos 9810 will be a key catalyst for innovation in smart platforms such as smartphones and personal computing for the coming AI era," said Ben Hur, vice president of System LSI marketing at Samsung Electronics. What this basically means is that the processor will be better in handling AI-based tasks in handsets.
