It supports up to two 2.0 GHz ARM Cortex-A73 cores and four 1.6GHz Cortex-A53 cores. Samsung has said that, “With the addition of powerful CPU, the Exynos 7872 improves the individual single-core performance by two folds, when compared to its predecessor, enabling faster web browsing, app launching and other operations on a smartphone in its class.” It also supports dual camera setup with the bokeh effect. Samsung added to its statement, “By combining the information from RGB and monochrome camera, the Exynos 7872 can create an out-focus effect to make photographs more visually appealing.” Meizu M6s is the first smartphone which has been released yesterday with this processor. We will also see some of Samsung’s mid-range smartphones powered by this processor in the coming months.
