Samsung’s power-packed Exynos 8890 chipset, believed to be part of the Galaxy S7, has amassed a record score in AnTuTu benchmark test.
The next-generation Samsung chipset has seemingly made history on AnTuTu benchmark site by scaling the 100K mark. To be specific, the Exynos 8890 reported to be powering the flagship Galaxy S7 has tallied 103,692 points, according to Mobi Picker, which cited an unnamed source. In comparison, the powerful Kirin 950 SoC from Huawei apparently amassed 79K points quite recently. The Mate 8, on the other hand, secured more than 94K points.
According to reports, the Exynos 8890 SoC is expected to be part of many high-end Galaxy series of devices, said to be released in 2016. The handset that visited the benchmark site apparently carried the model number SM-G9300, which is actually one of the variants of Samsung Galaxy S7.
Meanwhile, Phone Arena said that the same Exynos 8890 chip passed the Geekbench site, scoring a top-notch 6,908 points on the multi-core test and 2,294 on the single-core test. This chipset has reportedly been manufactured by the now-famous 14 nm FinFET process, which is guaranteed to be energy efficient.
But then, according to rumors, Qualcomm’s powerful Snapdragon 820 chip will be powering the Galaxy S7, specific to the U.S. and China. Samsung’s Exynos 8890 will apparently power the variants earmarked for the rest of the world.
Speaking of key specifications, the Galaxy S7 will reportedly feature a 5.2-inch display, while the Galaxy S7 Edge will come with a 5.7-inch curved screen. Reports said that the aforesaid devices will be introduced on Feb. 21, prior to the MWC 2016 event. In any case, readers are advised to take the reported Galaxy S7 specifications, release date and the benchmark score with the proverbial pinch of salt as the South Korean tech giant has not confirmed any information so far.

Galaxy Fold reportedly has a serious display defect that might get you a free screen replacemen

A report  early on Wednesday  said that Samsung is working on additional foldable smartphones beyond the Galaxy Fold that it unveiled a couple of weeks ago. Samsung is still trying to figure out exploring what buyers will need from a foldable handset while perfecting the components that go into such devices. And it appears that, while Samsung is ready to experiment with different Fold designs, the model that launches this spring might have a serious screen issue. As exciting as first-gen foldable phones may seem right now, we should expect some issues from these first-gen devices, especially when it comes to screen durability. Samsung did say the Galaxy Fold can fold some 200,000 times, and that may very well be the case. But nobody will like seeing creases and screen imperfections appear on the screen. This is, after all, a device that sells for around $2,000, with the screen being its most important feature. If you fold the phone ten times a day, you might see the c...

Huawei P30 release date

The Huawei P30 and Huawei P30 Pro are set to be the next flagship smartphones from the Chinese brand, which has gone from strength to strength in recent years. The Huawei P20 and Huawei P20 Pro rivaled the likes of the Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9 Plus, Pixel 3 XL and new iPhones, and the P30 duo (or potentially trio) will certainly have the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10 Plus in their sights. We say potentially trio, as Apple launched three new phones back in September, and Samsung did the same in February, so we wouldn't be surprised if Huawei followed suit with a new trio of its own under the P30 name. Huawei has even teased the arrival of the handsets, with a video posted on Twitter confirming the March 26 launch date for the "P30 series" - suggesting we'll definitely see more than one phone with the P30 name attached to it.

Samsung Galaxy S10+ review (king of andriod)

Summary The Galaxy S10+ is exactly what you’d expect out of Samsung’s tenth flagship handset. After all, the company’s been making these for a decade, and knows what works. The S10+ is a winning mix of powerful performance, long-lasting battery, stunning display and capable cameras. There’s also a welcome software overhaul and the ability to wirelessly charge compatible devices, making this a surprisingly useful handset. You’ll have to live with minor quirks like an inconsistent fingerprint sensor, lousy AR emoji and a subpar digital assistant, but none of those keep the S10+ from being an ultimately superb phone Displays One of my biggest questions going into this review was whether I'd be bothered by the "hole punch" display or if I'd get used to it over time. I go back and forth on this, and that's probably because the cutout for the camera only bothers me in specific instances. On the home screen, or in apps like Uber o...
