The Exynos 2400’s potential impact on the Galaxy S24 series
It is expected that Samsung may go back to the way it chose application processors for its prior flagship, the Galaxy S24 series. Several sources reveal that the Exynos 2400 chipset from Samsung will be employed in the Galaxy S24 series in some selected regions, while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 from Qualcomm will power up the S24 series in other markets. This can turn out to be a rumor, as it’s been a long time since Samsung employed the Exynos chipset. The firm also skipped the Exynos in the Galaxy S23 series. Samsung and Qualcomm may continue to work together and provide Snapdragon-powered devices more even if the Exynos 2400 does materialize.
Powered up with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, the Galaxy S23 series has had some greater responses. The majority of users, particularly those who had only ever been able to purchase Samsung flagships powered by Exynos processors, had warmly greeted the news of the alliance with Qualcomm, which was theoretically expected to persist for a while. The fear behind the Exynos processor is the lower performance that sticks with the gadget. We can expect that there may be optimism that these performance concerns may ultimately be resolved by the new Exynos 2400 CPU, which is anticipated to launch with the Galaxy S24.
It is almost clear that the Exynos 2400 will take advantage of the most recent Arm CPU cores, keeping the chip on par with the competition. A 1+2+3+4 configuration with a total of 10 cores is said to be the CPU’s rumored configuration. The Arm Cortex-X4 processor, clocked at 3.1 GHz; two Cortex-A720 cores, clocked at 2.9 GHz; two more A720 cores, clocked at 2.6 GHz; and four power-efficient Cortex-A520 cores, clocked at 1.8 GHz, are all reportedly components of the Exynos 2400 CPU. The Exynos 2400 will only support 64-bit due to the transition to the newest Arm V9.2 cores.
The Xclipse 940, which has twice as many graphics compute units as the RDNA 2 implementation, is said to be included in the Exynos 2400. The chipset is said to come with enhancements in the Artificial intelligence field. The Exynos 5300 modem could be used for connectivity, which can provide download speeds of 10 Gbps and upload speeds of 3.87 Gbps and additionally includes two-way satellite communication and features included in the new 3GPP 5G version 18. Last but not least, the Exynos 2400 is said to feature ultra-fast UFS 4.0 memory and LPDDR5X RAM at up to 8.5 Gbps, as well as 320 MP imaging and 8K60 video compatibility with the image signal processor.
These are not features confirmed to hold up with the Galaxy S24 series’ Exynos SoC, and it is also unclear what manufacturing process will be employed. The firm upgraded its manufacturing facilities to the 4th generation 4nm node recently; this can be a hint that future Exynos 2400s may pick up this 4nm process.
- Exynos 2400 should use the last Core of the Arm CPU, the CPU would be configured with 10 cores in total (1+2+3+4)
- the CPU would consist of a single high-performance Arm Cortex-X4 clocked at 3.1 GHz, two Cortex-A720 cores at 2.9 GHz, two other A720s at 2.6 GHz and four energy-efficient Cortex-A520 cores clocked up to 1.8 GHz
- Exynos 2400 will only be 64 bit
- the GPU could be built on AMD’s most powerful RDNA 2 graphics architecture, called the Xclipse 940, capable of offering twice as many graphics computing units
- the new proprietary chipset should boast improvements in the field of artificial intelligence
- connectivity side could be used the Exynos 5300 modem announced at the beginning of the year, able to offer download speeds at 10 Gbps and upload speeds of 3.87 with some improvements such as a two-way satellite communication technology, new advanced carrier aggregation technologies, improved energy efficiency and other features in the new version 18 of 3GPP 5G
- Exynos 2400 should support UFS 4.0 memory, LPDDR5X RAM up to 8.5 Gbps, as well as 320MP imaging and 8K60 video support via image signal processor
The first quarter of 2024 is already over; during this interval, Samsung has introduced several Galaxy smartphones of particular belonging, such as the flagship Galaxy S24 series, the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35, the mid-range ones, the Galaxy A15 and Galaxy F15, the budgetable ones, and many more. But the fact is, after being the latest smartphones, they have a lack of ‘charging speed.’
Undoubtedly, Samsung is leading the tech industry with its top-notch features, design, and larger batteries, as compared to other Android manufacturers, but despite all this, it has a massive lack of charging speed. Samsung usually attaches larger batteries to its Galaxy smartphones to enhance the users’ non-stop-using experience. But a larger battery isn’t worth it unless it has a good charging speed.
On the other hand, Chinese manufacturers are equipping their smartphones with charging speeds north of 100W, whereas 45W is the maximum speed you can get on Galaxy smartphones. However, even 45W charging is quite rare among Galaxy phones. Samsung has launched most of the Galaxy devices in the last couple of years, including the flagship with support for 25W.
Here we are making things easy for you if you are looking to buy a Galaxy smartphone that debuted in 2024 with the support of 45W charging speed by mentioning a list of devices:
- Galaxy S24 Ultra
- Galaxy S24+
- Galaxy F55
- Galaxy M55
- Galaxy C55
The list is quite short, even considering that the Galaxy F55, M55, and C55 are just rebranded variants of the same smartphone for different regions. Now Samsung is setting up to launch its next-generation foldable devices, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, in July, but it is yet to be confirmed whether these devices will get a boost in charging speeds from 25W or not.
The Korean brand – Samsung has recently announced its two mid-range Galaxy smartphones – Galaxy A55 5G and Galaxy A35 5G. A new benchmark listing has a spot for Samsung’s affordable smartphone, Galaxy35 5G.
Samsung is now gearing up for its next affordable Galaxy smartphone, the M35 5G, as the reports are unvunveilhey have found a new benchmark listing for Samsung the Galaxy M35 5G.
The smartphone has been spotted with the model number as an identification code – SM-M356B on the Geekbench 6.2.2 database. Not only this, but it also confirmed the presence of 6GB of RAM and Android 14 OS. The chipset also came to know which is the latest Exynos 1380.
The codename for the motherboard is also mentioned, which is ‘s5e8835.’ The reports say that it has scored 656 and 1967 points in performance scores on the benchmarking platform. Exynos 1380 is the latest chipset of the Korean brand, which is a 5 nm processor. It consists of 4 Cortex A78 cores, which clock at 2.4GHz, and 4 Cortex A55 cores, which clock at 2.0GHz. It is coupled with a Mali g68 MP5 GPU. It also has an AI Engine.
This also offers connectivity options, which include the latest Bluetooth version 5.3 and Wi-Fi 802.11 ax with three bands. It supports a camera resolution of at least 200MP for capturing images, and for video recording, there is support for up to 30fps 4K recording. The storage supported is UFS v3.1, and RAM will be of the LPDDR4x/5 type.
Samsung has recently debuted its two smartphones, Galaxy A55, and Galaxy A35; the Galaxy A35 5G smartphone is powered by Exynos 1380 chipset. From this perspective, Galaxy M35 5G could be a variant of Galaxy A35.
At the moment, no specs and features of the device have been revealed or leaked. Still, since Galaxy M series smartphones usually have a bit higher battery power of at least 6000mAh, the forthcoming Galaxy M35 5G smartphone also arrives with the same battery power.
