Your next phone could have five cameras and 8K video
recording
We recently saw
Samsung unveil its new flagship mobile SoC (system on a chip), the Exynos 9820.
The powerful chipset is expected to power flagship devices in the coming year,
including the Galaxy S10.
Now, the CPU on the new chip features custom cores,
two Cortex-A75 cores, and four Cortex-A55 cores. This is something that was
rumoured earlier to be notably different from previous generation chips, even
the Snapdragon 845, which uses four power-efficient cores.
A game changer
Another important thing here is that Samsung has not
used a 7nm process like Apple’s A12 Bionic or Huawei’s HiSilicon Kirin 980.
Instead, it has gone for 8nm. The company has reportedly started production on
7nm chips, but it seems that they aren’t ready or probably they are reserved
for specific models.
Other important updates include a 2 Gbps LTE modem
(no 5G yet), an improved NPU (Neural Processing Unit), and support for UFS 2.1
and UFS 3.0 storage.
Memories in 8K
Apart from performance improvements, Samsung has
focused on photography capabilities. The new Exynos 9820 supports 8K resolution
video recording at 30FPS and five cameras. Sure, 8K video recording is still
rare, but this could essentially mean that the upcoming Galaxy S10 could be the
first phone to have this feature.
Reinvent photography
There is also a possibility that the Galaxy S10 will
have a total of five cameras. The company has already experimented this with
the Galaxy A9 (2018), which has four cameras on the rear and one on the front.
Early speculations, however, say that the S10 could feature three cameras on
the back and two in the front.
