Like Huawei (Kirin), Samsung’s in-house mobile processors – Exynos, are already known to be powering a number of its smartphones ranging from low- to high-end. The South Korean company is said to be working on two new Exynos chipsets – the Exynos 9610 and the Exynos 7872 (specifically for China).
Samsung Exynos 9610
The Exynos 9610 is not a flagship-level chipset, rather it is the company’s take on the mid-tier Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 mobile platform. It will be based on the 14nm LPP process and feature an octa-core processor – 4x ARM Cortex-A73 and 4x Cortex-A53, and freshly announced ARM Mali-G72 MP3 GPU.
It also add Cat.13 LTE modem (600/150Mbps speeds) and is expected to arrive in devices coming by the final quarter (Q4) of the year.

Samsung Exynos 7872
The Exynos 7872 is another mid-range processor, however, it is also manufactured using the 14nm processor and packs six cores (hexa-core) instead of the usual quad-core and octa-core found on most Exynos SoC. It features 2x Cortex A72 cores along with 4x Cortex-A53 cores, Mali-G71 MP1 GPU and Cat. 7 LTE modem (300/100Mbps speeds).
Unlike previous chipsets made by Samsung, the Exynos 7872 should support the entire network in China. It is being touted as a suitable alternative to the Exynos 7880 and one of the top Chinese device makers is ready to use the chipset.
