The Exynos 9810 was unveiled sometime back but other than knowing that it featured the same 10nm manufacturing process as the Exynos 8895, there was very little to go on about the SoC. Things are looking up as the company is going to be unveiling the new chipset starting January 4, where will be seeing other features that might encourage buyers to pick up the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+, which will feature the Exynos 9810.
The chipset package could possibly include Samsung’s next-generation custom cores which will probably be paired with ARM’s low-power cores in an octa-core package. Alongside this, Samsung has also said that the new chipset will get a new GPU but failed to provide details on this ‘new’ graphics processor.
With a little tweaking, the main processor’s clock speed could go up to 3.0GHz per core, but those are just rumors that need to be confirmed at a later time. The new Exynos 9810 will also be getting a gigabit LTE modem, so this potentially means that the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ will be able to achieve download speeds of 1.2Gbps.
Unfortunately, this is not going to be possible for now because there are no carriers that offer this much bandwidth. At the most, you will get bragging rights with the gigabit LTE modem but it will take years before you can experience such speeds.
The reason for the Exynos 9810 getting an early announcement was quite simple; Samsung plans to release its Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ at a much earlier date, hence it is wasting no time in getting to work.
The gigabit LTE modem is a nice feature to have but it is currently an overkill chip that will be found in the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. The Exynos 9810 will be in direct competition with the Snapdragon 845, which is also going to be found in these flagship phones, but the American versions instead.
