Samsung’s latest flagship SoC – Exynos 9820 – was recently announced to be equipped with an onboard AI NPU, custom cores, and 2Gbps LTE modem. The chipset is designed on a 7nm nanometer process and is expected to be reserved for Samsung’s flagships such as the Galaxy S10 series, and plausibly, even Note 10.
We might see Samsung follow the trend set by the likes of Xiaomi and Huawei, which have launched smartphones with flagship-level processing power in the mid-range segment. By doing so, Samsung might be able to bring the processing capabilities of its flagship Exynos 9820 chipset to compete with major “affordable flagship” devices next year.
