Samsung explains why the Galaxy S10’s Exynos 9820 chipset should excite you

null


The Exynos 9820 is set to be at the heart of the Galaxy S10 range – at least for users outside the US – and the company announced it late last year, but now Samsung has explained it in more detail.
For example, we already know that the Exynos 9820 can carry out AI tasks seven times faster than its predecessor, thanks to an integrated NPU (neural processing unit).
But Samsung has now explained that this will allow the S10 and other phones using this chipset to implement AI anywhere, anytime, potentially allowing for better battery efficiency, lower latency, and improvements to things like augmented reality and the camera.
We also knew that the chipset offers up to a 20% single-core performance boost over its predecessor, but Samsung has now gone so far as to say that it’s powerful enough to allow for a true desktop-like experience.
The company doesn’t go into specifics as to what that means, but it could mean improvements to the DeX mode found on past handsets, which lets you connect your phone to a monitor.

Better cameras and screens

The chipset also uses an ‘intelligent task scheduler’ to optimize the balance between efficiency and performance, so you get great battery life without sacrificing power.
Plus, the Exynos 9820 supports up to five camera sensors, and thanks to an advanced ISP (image signal processor) it can supposedly offer better exposure, focusing and white balance, delivering images that have less noise and more vivid colors.
The chipset is also capable of encoding and compressing 8K videos into smaller file sizes, using a 10-bit HEVC codec, so you can shoot in top quality without using up all your Samsung Galaxy S10’s storage space.
We could also see improvements to the display thanks to this chipset, as it supports HDR10+, which is a new standard that uses dynamic tone mapping so scenes can be optimized individually. The chipset supports 4K UHD displays too, though we’re not sure the Galaxy S10’s will be that sharp.
Finally, the Exynos 9820 should also improve device security, thanks to its ability to create an unclonable key for data encryption. It all sounds very impressive, but if you’re in the US you won’t be left out, as you’re likely getting the Snapdragon 855 in the S10, and that’s got a lot going for it too.

Our Verdict:

☆☆☆☆☆
This is a strong phone from Samsung indeed, although a lack of upgrades to the camera and battery do slightly irk. However, the rebooted screen is very attractive, and really makes a big difference to this phone – Samsung has ticked most of the boxes we were hoping it would here.
 FOR
  • Great screen
  • Slick new UI
  • Powerful
 AGAINST
  • No camera upgrade
  • Battery same size

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

Our favorite iOS apps for the iPhone and iPad in 2018

As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market.
