Samsung’s 5G Exynos 980 chip to debut in a Vivo smartphone this year

-

Samsung unveiled the Exynos 980 5G chipset a few weeks ago. It's the first mobile processor from the company to feature an integrated 5G modem. It was later confirmed by Samsung that Vivo will be one of the companies to use this chip in a new smartphone.

Vivo has reiterated that it's working on a smartphone which will feature Samsung's integrated 5G mobile processor. No further details have been made available at this point but the company says the device will be out before the end of this year.

Exynos 980 5G's first outing will be in a Vivo smartphone

Existing solutions require a separate 5G modem. The biggest advantage of an integrated solution would be allowing the technology to trickle down to more affordable devices. The Galaxy A90 5G, Samsung's only non-flagship 5G smartphone, also uses the high-end Snapdragon 855 processor with the X50 5G modem. No wonder it costs $700.

Samsung's Exynos 980 is based on the company's 8nm FinFET process technology. It has two 2.2GHz Cortex-A77 cores and six 1.80GHz Cortex-A55 cores in addition to the Mali-G76 MP5 GPU. There's an onboard neural processing unit as well for artificial intelligence tasks.

The Exynos 980 doesn't require a separate 5G modem. This will help reduce power consumption and free up more space inside the device as well. The integrated modem supports 5G to 2G networks with up to gigabit downlink speeds in 4G LTE. It even supports the new Wi-Fi 6 standard.

Vivo's upcoming smartphone will likely be the first outing for Samsung's integrated 5G chip. We can expect to see it in the company's own devices down the line. Perhaps some of the 2020 Galaxy A models might feature it as well.

Do more from your inbox with Gmail Add-ons

For many of us, email is mission control—the prompt to generate an invoice, prepare a presentation or follow up on a sales opportunity. With so many to-dos, imagine if you could complete these tasks directly from your inbox without interrupting your workflow. We believe email can do more, which is why we're launching Gmail Add-ons, a new way to work with your favorite business apps directly in Gmail.

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t

DJI showcased its new Mavic Air drone in New York. The third quadcopter in this series is of similar quality to its predecessors and can also fold its arms for better portability. For its size, no competitor offers so much in terms of photo quality. Release date and price The DJI Mavic Air can be ordered through the official DJI website  and is also available from other retailers. The drone is available in three colors: marengo grey, white and red. We can buy the Mavic Air in a basic pack with remote control, protections, charger, cover, propeller replacement and a battery from US$799 (£769 in the UK).
