Samsung Electronics has announced the availability of its latest application processor (AP), the Exynos 7 Series 9610. The Exynos 9610, built on the company’s 10-nanometer (nm) FinFET process, elevates the multimedia experience in high-end smartphones with premium-level features such as deep learning-based image processing for ultimate picture-taking experiences and stunning slow-motion video recording at 480 frames per second (fps).
According to the top player in the global semiconductor industry, the Exynos 9610 delivers a major boost in multimedia performance. Samsung claims that vision and image processing is now coupled with a neural network engine for more intelligently enhanced face detection, as well as single camera out-focusing and augmented low-light images. The advanced face detection feature also enables the camera to recognize faces that are either not facing forward or partially covered with objects like hair or a hat. With smart depth sensing, out-focused portraits can be taken with a single camera. Further, via multiple frames merger, vision and image processing enhances the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and brightness that can improve pictures taken in low-light environments.
Similarly, the South Korean tech giant states that the Exynos 9610 allows for 480fps slow-motion support in full HD. Even while using a conventional two-stack image sensor, the Galaxy maker says the Exynos 9610 is able to encode slow-motion video, thanks to its image signal processor (ISP) with improved performance by 1.6 times and more-than-doubled mobile industry processor interface (MIPI) speed. In addition, the processor uses a premium multi-format codec (MFC) that allows encoding and decoding up to 4K 120fps.
The Exynos 9610 provides smooth mobile computing and gaming performances that meet the needs of today’s high-end smartphones. The CPU is comprised of four Cortex-A73 cores running at 2.3 gigahertz (GHz), and four 1.6GHz Cortex-A53 cores to load apps quickly and run multiple tasks simultaneously. The GPU is a second-generation Bifrost-based ARM Mali-G72 that can bring more realistic and immersive graphics on mobile devices, Samsung said.

The embedded all-network LTE modem supports Cat.12 3CA (carrier aggregation) at 600 megabits per second (Mbps) for downlink and Cat.13 2CA at 150Mbps for uplink. The processor is also packed with wireless communication technologies such as high-throughput 802.11ac 2×2 MIMO Wi-Fi, faster and longer range Bluetooth 5.0, and FM for radio. In addition, for global location positioning coverage, it embeds a 4-mode Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver that includes GPS (Global Positioning System), GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo.
Samsung is aiming to begin to be mass production of the Exynos 7 Series 9610 by the second half of this year.
