Samsung is known for making its quite popular and good Exynos chipsets. But LTE was still missing from Samsung’s chipsets and it is right time to fill the gap. Qualcomm is the most popular mobile chipset. It powers almost all the current flagships including Sony Xperia Z2, Lg G3, Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One (M8). Samsung has now filled the gap by introducing its latest Exynos ModAP chipset which is capable of missing LTE Cat. 4 connectivity.
ModAP stands from “Modem” and “Application processor”. It is built on a 28nm HKMG process. The processor supports Heterogeneous Multi-Processing (HMP), Thus all 8 cores will work simultaneously giving optimal performance (4x Cortex-A15 + 4x Cortex-A7). Moreover it will able to provide 150Mbps downlink and 50Mbps uplink by bonding multiple channels together thus LTE Cat. 4 connectivity can be achieved.
2G and 3G technologies are also supported and it also supports FDD and TDD. The chipset can record 2160p@30fps videos maintaining the current flagship standards. GPU is not yet known but it could be a latest Mali. ModAP features advanced image signal processing, which will improve photo and video quality when capturing them from high resolution cameras.
We hope to see it soon featured in flagship phones. Do you like the new Samsung Exynos ModAP?
