Exynos, Samsung’s in-house processor and chipset developers, are reportedly churning up a spanking new Cat.10 LTE modem, able to give you 450Mbits per second of download speed. When rumors come out of Exynos like this, the rumor mill really starts turning, especially since it is high time that Samsung starts developing the next flagship phone.
If you’ve been following Samsung long enough, you would know that most of its flagship models usually have two iterations – one with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, and another with an Exynos one. The Snapdragon model is usually for the international market, since Qualcomm has gotten the compatibility with global standards down pat.
The Exynos model is usually for the local South Korean market, and Samsung usually gives out “bonus features” for the Korean devices that won’t be in the international models. So will this rumored Cat.10 LTE modem be part of the Exynos chipset for the Samsung Galaxy S6? People are certainly saying this might be so.
The move coincides with some South Korean mobile networks upping the juice of their infrastructure so that they can give out Cat.10 LTE speeds. Coincidence? Might be, but the timing looks right, with Samsung reportedly prepping for a launch during the Mobile World Congress 2015 in Berlin. Watch this space.
