Budget Nokia phone with Android 12 and Samsung Exynos chip coming!

Published

on

Nokia is working on a mysterious mobile device called Nokia Suzume, and it has recently been identified on benchmarked on the Geekbench. According to the online tool, the so-called Nokia Suzume is based on the Exynos 7884B chipset which was released by Samsung a few years ago.

Samsung has not used the Exynos 7884-series since the launch of the Galaxy A20 in 2019. Combining the Exynos 7884B SoC and 3GB of RAM, the Nokia Suzume comes into the budget smartphone category. Interestingly, Geekbench indicates that this mysterious budget smartphone from Nokia will run Android 12OS.

Respectively, it topped the single-core and multi-core exams with 306 points and 1,000 points. Samsung does not have an Exynos 7884B-enabled phone that comes with Android 12 update, but Nokia is working to bring both of these features with the release of Suzume.

The Exynos 7884B SoC features six power-efficient ARM Cortex-A53 CPU cores, two ARM Cortex-A73 performance cores, and the Mali G71-MP2 graphics chip. The relatively high score helped by increasing the CPU frequency for the Cortex-A73 core to 2.08GHz and for the Cortex-A53 cluster to 1.69GHz.

At the moment, it is known about the Nokia Suzum smartphone is powered by Android 12 and the Exynos 7884b SoC, so it is not clear if Nokia has any real plans to release it.

LG Innotek struggles to gain ground in Samsung smartphone CoF

Samsung Galaxy A55 A35 5G promo material

LG Innotek is supplying CoF for budget and mid-range Samsung smartphones this year. Despite the CoF supply chain formed by the Korean govt., Stemco still has the upper hand in overall volume and model-specific volume in the Samsung CoF market.

TheElec notes that LG Innotek is not making progress in Samsung smartphones’ CoF (chip-on-film) market. Back in 2021, Korean govt formed a local CoF supply chain, but Japan’s Stemco still has an edge over LG Innotek in the Samsung smartphone CoF market.

As of 2024, LG Innotek and PI Advanced Materials are still supplying CoF and related materials for Samsung’s affordable phones like the Galaxy A5 series. Pay attention, the lower lineup of the Galaxy A series and Galaxy M series uses the CoG method, mounting chips on glass substrates.

LG Innotek’s CoF production line operation rate is expected to reach around 70% this year. Beyond Samsung, LG Innotek supplies smartphone CoFs to Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Notably, G Innotek’s revenue was 20.6 trillion won last year.

Apple foldable phone

Benchmark listing confirms Samsung will fuel the US Galaxy Z Flip 6 with a Snapdragon chipset. The device has benchmarked on Geekbench, scoring sizing points in single-core and multi-core tests. Interestingly, the Flip phone features 12GB of RAM, which is a big upgrade.

As spotted by CID/X, the US variant of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 will feature up to 12GB RAM and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy processor. While the listing doesn’t mention the phone’s marketing name, Samsung’s modeling strategy says SM-F741U is the Galaxy Z Flip 6.

Earlier, the same product surfaced on Geekbench’s graphics processing unit test. The device reached the same performance as the Galaxy S24 Ultra despite lacking such larger cooling tech. As far as the CPU performance is concerned, the Z Flip 6 scored:

  • 1794 in single-core
  • 4486 in multi-core

Samsung is expected to hold its next Unpacked event in Paris right before the 2024 Olympics kicks off. The tentative date is July 10, when the company will introduce Galaxy Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6, and Z Fold 6 Ultra. More products including the Watch 7 series and Galaxy Ring are expected.

As the company still has around two months to unveil, there will be further performance improvements. Global consumers might be disappointed as the Exynos is expected to power some units. It might harm some sales but Samsung has to do it to maintain the cost-cutting.
