Samsung officially unveiled the Exynos 7872 chipset, which we already saw on the Meizu M6s. The new chip is part of the mid-range Exynos 5 series, but packs some more upscale features.
It is built on a 14nm process and features a hexa-core CPU with two
clusters: 2x Cortex-A73 (2.0GHz) + 4x Cortex-A53 (1.6Ghz). The graphics
power is supplied by a Mali-G71 GPU.
The chipset has built-in support for an Iris scanner, something
currently reserved for flagship devices. Also, the camera department
boasts 1080p @ 120fps video recording capabilities as well as Smart Wide
Dynamic Range.
But this mid-range chip has some limitations. There’s no 2160p
capability and no special provisions for a dual camera. Also, the max
screen resolution is 1,920 x 1,200, which rules out 18:9 FullHD+
screens.
Anyway, the Exynos 7872 sports an LTE Cat. 7 2CA modem (300Mbps down,
150Mbps up). It does Wi-Fi 802.11n dual-band (but no ac) as well as
Bluetooth 5.0. The positioning system is quite capable with support for
GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo. FM radio is supported as well.
Supported memory types are LPDDR3 for RAM, eMMC 5.1 for built-in
storage and the SD 3.0 standard for expandable memory (i.e. UHS-I
microSD cards). Note the lack of UFS.
Recently, Samsung launched the Galaxy A8 (2018) phones with Exynos
7885 - a similar 14nm chip with a 2+6 processor. That one does support
higher resolutions for tall aspect ratios, but the A8 can't record 2160p
video either.
