Samsung announces Exynos 7 Octa 7870 chipset for mid-range smartphones

Samsung has announced the Eyxnos 7 Octa 7870 processor designed for the next generation of mid-range smartphones. The Exynos 7 Octa 7870 processor is based on Samsung's 14-nanometer (nm) FinFET processor. Samsung says that the new processor consumes 30 percent less power than mobile SoC's made using the 28nm High-K Metal Gate process technology.

It features eight cortex-A53 CPU cores clocked at 1.6GHz along with LTE Cat.6 2CA Modem that offers download speed of 300Mbps and FDD-TDD joint carrier aggregation. The Exynos 7 Octa 7870 supports up to Full HD (1080p) resolution video play pack at 60fps (frames per second) and up to WUXGA (1920 x 1200 pixels) resolution display.

The new SoC's Image Signal Processor (ISP) delivers up to 16MP resolution images for both from and rear cameras, or 8MP each in dual camera mode. The chip is also integrated with GNSS solution, for time-to-first-fix) TTFF feature for more accurate location based services.

The Samsung Exynos 7 Octa 7870 will be in mass production in Q1 2016. Samsung also said that the 14nm FinFET process will be adopted by its Exynos 7 Octa, followed by other products throughout the year.
