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...

Samsung teases 'amazing' camera in new flagship phONE

Samsung teases 'amazing' camera in new flagship phone A month ago, I wrote about the iPhone's camera and how instrumental it is to many of the things that make that bestselling device so appealing. Today, Apple's most direct competitor, Samsung, has reiterated its long history of developing cameraphones and promised to deliver nothing less than "the future of cameras." In a post by Samsung's camera R&D chief DongHoon Jang, the company promises its 2015 flagship phone "will be intelligent and do all the thinking for users, allowing them to take amazing pictures under any conditions, without having to worry about anything more than just pressing the shutter button." Imaging technology has been a traditional strength for Samsung's flagship smartphones, and the latest Galaxy Note 4 has marked an appreciable upgrade after a couple of years of relative stagnation in image quality. Now Samsung seems intent to step things up another not...

Andriod P Is here

Android P is shaping up to be one of the most consequential Android updates in years. Not only is Google changing the way Android is navigated, but it’s also changing the way we interact with our phones — and how our phones interact with us. The big goals of Android P are to make our phones less distracting and less stressful and to give people control over how much of their attention they suck up. It’s all about taking on notification and app overload. Google announced all the big changes of Android P yesterday. You can see an overview of them in our video above. Here are the biggest highlights: APP TIME LIMITS There’s a lot of new stuff in Android P, but for my money, this is the biggest deal. Google is going to show you how much time you spend in every app. And, more importantly, it’s going to let you set time limits on how long you use them. You’ll be able to limit yourself to a certain amount of time every day — say, 15 minutes or an hour. After that time, the...
