Exynos Samsung Galaxy S4 Beats Qualcomm Variant In Early Benchmarks
We’re sure that you guys know that the Samsung Galaxy S4 will be launched in two variants – one with the South Korean company’s latest Exynos 5 Octa-core chipset, and the other with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 600. While the Snapdragon 600 is a powerful chipset in its own right, it seems that the Exynos version has outperformed it. These benchmarks are courtesy of SamMobile’s insider who managed to benchmark the Exynos variant on AnTuTu, resulting in a score of 28,018. The Qualcomm version on the other hand appears to have scored only 23,607. However it should be noted that since both chipsets are incredibly powerful, the average user will probably not be able to tell the difference between either, although on paper it would seem as though those with the Qualcomm version might be getting the short end of the stick. Then again, these are preliminary benchmarks and we will probably need to check the collective results from various reviews and testings before a more decisive conclusion can be drawn.
So, there is a new Samsung smartphone that is about to be released – big surprise, that, and I say this with full a sarcasm. Still, those who want something that looks to hang out on the high end side of things in terms of design and form factor, and yet having a mid-range performer within, can always settle for the Samsung Galaxy A9.
The handset has already appeared on the FCC database, which means it has been approved, and listed as the Samsung Galaxy A9. With the green light given, it is but a matter of time before it hits the market. While very little detail has been released so far, it should not be too long now before an official announcement is made. All that one can do now is to sit tight and wait. [FCC Page]
If you would like to fancy your chances with an upcoming mid-range device that seems to hover more on the higher end scheme of things, then the Samsung Galaxy A9 would certainly fit you to a ‘t’, so to speak. After all, accessory manufacturer ITSKINS has shared more details concerning this device, with the Galaxy A9 touted to be a wee bit more compact as opposed to the Galaxy S7 Plus, never mind that both handsets will come with 6.0″ screens.
Measurements of the Galaxy A9 include 161.9mm x 81.3mm x 7.34mm, where it would be slightly taller than the Galaxy Note5, while sporting a metal and glass design, a fingerprint reader that should be able to handle mobile payments, a Full HD Super AMOLED display, and a Snapdragon 620 chipset, among others.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 will no doubt be a smartphone that many people would look forward to picking up when it is ready, taking into consideration how flagship devices are always in demand. Well, the Galaxy S7 has been said to target an early 2016 release, and some photos of the alleged device has already been snapped, although one should take into consideration that the original Weibo post is no longer there.
Of course, do take this particular leak with a pinch of salt, since it could be one of the numerous smartphones from various manufacturers that could roll out a similar looking handset. In the leaked photos, you can see a wrap-around metal border design, which seems to be the in thing at least for the next couple of years. All that we can do now is to sit tight and wait for the real deal to surface.
