Is Samsung stepping up the game by planning a 3-variant flagship smartphone release? Talk about triple threats!
Comparing it to Apple’s newest A9 processor, an iPhone 6s powered by its said in-house unit netted it 2,487 points for a single-core test (slightly higher than the alleged Samsung Galaxy S7‘s reading) and 4,330 in the multi-core testing, which is around 3000 points lower.
While we’ve been hearing that the next Galaxy flagship from Samsung might be coming with two processors next year, today a rather interesting bit of news from a reliable source has surfaced. Remember that a while back we told you that the Galaxy Note5 would make a debut into the wild with an Exynos 7422 chipset under the hood?
Recent reports had suggested that Samsung would offer the Snapdragon 820 powered Galaxy S7 model only in the United States and China, while the Galaxy S7 running on the M1 Mongoose chipset would be sold in South Korea and other regions across the world. We’re looking at a Galaxy S8/S9 here, unless Samsung decides to abandon its current naming scheme, or changes the update cycle.
The Exynos 8890, also called Exynos M1, has showed promise as a powerful processor.

Continued buzz about the upcoming Galaxy S7 appear to show that the recent release of the Galaxy S6 edge+ and the Note5 have not distracted pundits enough to hold off talking about the yet to arrive handset just weeks after the release of the latest Samsung offerings. The same applies for the SD 820 that Samsung is rumored to deploy with the Galaxy S7 in select markets. The chipset really exists and will power the Galaxy S7 variant which will launch in India.
