Samsung's next mid-range smartphones will be much more powerful

The 14nm process is showing up in more and more places, which suggests that it's growing more mature-it will make an appearance in the new Exynos 8 Octa 8890 that's likely to ship in the Galaxy S7 and its variants. The chip was announced last November and is now being mass produced.

Samsung just made the latest addition to its 14nm chipset family official - the Exynos 7 Octa 7870. Called the Exynos 7 Octa 7870, the processor comes with Samsung's 14-nanometer (nm) FinFET process technology. The Exynos 7870 is equipped with a Category 6 LTE modem with 2 band carrier aggregation and speeds which theoretically peak at 300Mbps download.

"Consumers will experience enhanced performance as this is the first time a mobile application processor built on the advanced 14nm process is available for these types of smart mobile devices". By using its advanced process technology, which has been reserved for premium Exynos processors, Samsung expects to give mobile manufacturers an ideal mobile SoC option for mid-range smartphones with leading-edge performance and power efficiency, and area scaling benefits. Samsung states that its 7870 consumes roughly 30 percent less power than other mobile's SoCs based on 28nm High-k Metal Gate process technologies. The processor can handle full-HD resolution video playback at 60 frames per second along with WUXGA (1920x1200 pixels) resolution display. It can also support dual 8 MP shooters or 16 MP front and back cameras thanks to the image signal processor.

The new Exynos chip is set to go into production in the first quarter of 2016, meaning that devices featuring the kit should begin appearing later this year. The product also supports long-term evolution speed and has the Global Navigation Satellite System to provide better location-based data to users.

Samsung is building a revolutionary ROLL-UP smartphone

GETTY • US PATENT OFFICE Example of a flexible display, LEFT, and the illustrations filed with the Samsung patent, RIGHT Samsung has been awarded a US patent for a brand-new foldable, rollable display to use across its smartphone and tablet ranges. The South Korean technology firm recently used its flexible display technology in the award-winning Galaxy S6 Edge, which has a dual curved QHD screen. However this latest patent, which was published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, shows the company has bolder ambitions for its curved displays. The illustrations filed with the approved patent reveal a cylindrical hub, which houses the rolled display – which unfurls like a pair of window blinds.

The Samsung Galaxy Note7 (S820) Review

This year has been difficult for smartphones, which is a bit of a paradox when you consider just how much better things have gotten compared to last year. With Snapdragon 820, 650, 652, and 625 we've finally moved past the shadow of the Snapdragon 810, 808, and 617/615. While there were Android devices that shipped with the Exynos 7420, they were often paired with a modem that was not necessarily the most power efficient. Despite all of this, there seems to be a general disappointment with smartphones. People are increasingly finding it hard to justify phones like the HTC 10 or Galaxy S7 with competition from OnePlus, Xiaomi, and even Apple with their iPhone SE. In this context the Galaxy Note7 brings much of the flavor of the Galaxy S7 edge, but blends it with the S-Pen of the Note line and a few new features like the iris scanner. If you were paying attention to the industry with the launch of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note5, it's very much more of the same rather than the m

HTC 10 vs Samsung Galaxy S7 / Edge vs LG G5

In the Android world, we follow a familiar release cycle when it comes to flagship smartphones, mostly centered around the two major trade shows, MWC and IFA.

Each device brings something unique to the table to help distinguish themselves from the other, and we've covered them extensively here at Android Authority with comprehensive reviews, in-depth comparisons, and feature focus articles. Which is the best of the lot? That is what we aim to find out, as we take a closer look at the HTC 10 vs Samsung Galaxy S7 / Galaxy S7 Edge vs LG G5 in this unique triple-threat versus! Design In design, we start with the LG G5, given its complete departure from the norm with regards to design and build quality. The G5 now features a full-metal
