After Qualcomm and MediaTek, it’s time for Samsung. The Korean giant is checking on its new SoC-Exynos 8895. Being clocked at 4GHz, this new chipset is said to be more power-saving than SND 830.

Exynos 8895 will be clocked at 4GHz

Qualcomm is planning to release a new powerful chipset – SND 830. After that, MediaTek is reported to be working on Helio X30. This chipset is said to be stronger than the new one from the US company. And now, it’s Samsung’s turn. This Korean giant is about to bring the next generation of Exynos to the market soon – Exynos 8895. And this is just like a respond from Samsung to those two rivals.

The two latest chipsets from Samsung are Exynos 7420 and 8890. They are all built with 14nm technology. Now, the company will use the 10nm technology with the new chipset 8895. This size is the same with SND 830 and Helio X30. Exynos 8895 will not only increase the performance but also reduce the power consumption. This new chipset will come with an octa-core processor.

Samsung new chipset will probably pack four 4GHz high-performance cores and four 2.7GHz low-power Cortex-A53 cores. According to some websites, even though be clocked at 4GHz, 8895 SoC consume the power as much as 3.6GHz SND 830 chipset. It seems like that besides Helio X30, SND 830 has to deal with another strong competitor.

Exynos 8895: which phone will have it?

Rush time is coming! All three popular chipset manufacturers rare racing to bring their best product to the market. Which one is better? To answer this question, we have to wait until all three of them come out. Back to Samsung new SoC, which device will run on this chipset? Exynos 7420 is first used for Note 5, Exynos 8890 is for Note 7. So, Exynos 8895 could probably be used for the next flagship of the company. It could be Galaxy S8 next year. Who knows! Until then, just keep updated with us!

1. Cyanogen OS

Cyanogen is a familiar name in the “best OS based on Android” market. The first device which this OS was installed is OnePlus One (the first generation of the company). And now, Cyanogen has become more popular. You can see this OS on YU smartphones (a subsidy of Micromax brand).

Along with Galaxy Note 7, Stylus Pen is an accessory you can’t help having your eyes on. Besides the dust + waterproof feature, Note 7’s S Pen also has so many interesting functions. 

Stylus Pen: a PC mouse

The first and obvious function of Stylus Pen is that you can easily write and draw. It is so much easier for you to write a note with a pen than typing. You can freely to do whatever you want, even doodle around. Secondly, you can use S Pen like a PC mouse. Everything is more convenient when you’re on a website. You can use the Stylus Pen and hover over the drop-down menu to make it pop out. Or you can highlight the text or content.

The third function is quick screenshots. If you’re tired of going through many steps just to share screenshots with your friends, you’ll be happy with  the Stylus Pen.

With Stylus Pen: making GIFs is easier than ever

Last but not least, you can create GIFs from a video in just a few minutes. You can choose any part of the video and export it into a GIF. With Smart Select mode, creating GIFs is easier than ever. However, there is one thing you need to notice. It’s about the time recording. You can only record up to 15 seconds.

The latest Samsung flagship came to global market and offered 4GB RAM in tow. But you could see the bigger 6GB RAM Samsung Note 7 soon. Whether 6GB Note 7 can replace 4GB Note 7? Let’s see!

6GB RAM Samsung Note 7 revealed in Chinese market

Before making a debut, Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is expected to sport 6GB RAM on board. However, Samsung  has launched this phone with just 4GB RAM version. Almost users feel a bit …disappointed. However, the recent reports point that 6GB RAM Note 7 is coming soon. As you know, this Samsung flagship is still getting a huge success with 4GB version. So, what is Samsung purpose for this higher 6GB RAM Samsung Note 7?

The premium version of Note 7 reportedly comes to Chinese market before appearing in the global market. From a benchmark result leaked on Geekbench and a Chinese Industry and Information Technology Ministry, new Note 7 model revealed 6GB RAM and 128GB Rom. This is an exchanged strategy of Samsung when a 128GB Note 5 was launched in South Korea last year.

There is not clearly explanation for why Samsung want to launch a new 6GB RAM Samsung Note 7 in China. Actually, the bigger 6GB RAM version might not make Galaxy Note 7 more powerful than it is presenting with 4GB RAM. Perhaps the company believes that Chinese users would be happy with  a huge RAM. After all, the combination of 6GB RAM+128GB ROM is more and more popular, especially, in China market. We have some famous names as OnePlus 3, LeEco Le Max 2, and Vivo XPlay 5 Elite with 6GB RAM on board. So Samsung need to push Note 7 up to 6GB RAM to keep up with that trend!

6GB RAM Samsung Note 7 price and availability

Of course, we could see the 6GB RAM Samsung Galaxy Note 7 this year, but it takes a time and a least not now. The company might renew this phone later this year.  We still have to wait for an official confirmation. Next, many people wondering how much the new Note 7 model cost. Well, with bigger 6GB RAM, Samsung Saung Note 7 price is definitely more expensive than a basic version. It could be dropped at around $990. With bigger RAM as well as higger price, do you think 6GB RAM Note 7 can undermine 4GB RAM Note 7?
