As you know, Samsung will release the options of Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 + on two processors - Snapdragon 835 from Qualcomm and its own exynos 8895. Most likely, the Qualcomm chip will be sold in the USA, and with EXYNOS - in all other countries, including in Russia . Do we lose much? Or vice versa - Exynos Best? Let's figure out.

The GEEKBENCH website appeared on the test results of two empty options. Samsung Galaxy S8 + - Qualcomm processor is installed in the first, and in the other - the newest chip SAMSUNG's own development. It is worth noting that both of them are going at Samsung factories on the same 10-nanometer Finfet technology, moreover, the Korean company helped Qualcomm specialists and participated in the development of Snapdragon 835. Who made a greater contribution to the creation of this chipset, is unknown, but obviously that Snapdragon 835 and Exynos 8895 use similar solutions. Both 8-nuclear processors, but Snapdragon works with a larger clock frequency - 1.9 GHz against 1.69 GHz from Exynos.

In one-core gEEKBENCH test Exynos 8895 defeated - he scored 1978 points, and Snapdragon 835 - 1929. In the multi-core, the separation is even more - 6375 against 6084 points in favor of the Samsung processor. Single-core mode is considered more important, since most Android applications cannot fully distribute the process between several cores. GEEKBENCH Tests 52 device parameters. For 35 parameters, Exynos 8895 turned out to be more productive, and Snapdragon 835 only at 17.

GEEKBENCH puts Galaxy S8 + with an Exynos 8895 processor for the first place in terms of multi-core mode among all smartphones. He is ahead of all the rest flagship smartphones, including Google Pixel. XL, LG G6 and Apple iPhone. 7 plus. Both versions of the Samsung smartphone managed to overtake Huawei Mate. 9 With the KIRIN 960 processor. In the same-core mode Exynos-version of Galaxy S8 + takes the second place - more than an Apple iPhone 7 plus more productively.

According to rumors, Samsung is going to increase clock frequency Exynos 8895 to 2.5 GHz, as well as set in Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 + two additional cores of the video processor, which means that the performance of these smartphones may be even higher. In addition, the versions of these six gigabyte devices will be released in China random access memory Instead of four, their indicators in synthetic benchmarks are likely to be recorded. Nevertheless, it is worth keeping in mind that these are only preliminary indicators measured on early versions Smartphones. Devices that will go on sale can show other results.

Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 + will be presented on March 29. The filling of these devices will be the same, they differ only with sizes, screens diagonals (5.8 and 6.2.2 inches) and battery capacity (3000 and 3500 mAh).

March 29 in New York SAMSUNG presented his new flagship: Smartphone Galaxy S8 and its modification of Galaxy S8 Plus (Galaxy S8 +). The devices were expected as experts, anticipating new improved characteristics and technologies in the configuration and consumers who hosted on an unusual design. But for Samsung itself, it is more than ever tremble and important development. Representatives of the company said that they call the Galaxy S8 "Dream" ("Dream"). And for this there is grounds. First, Samsung needs to be rehabilitated after the failed 2016, remembering the SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE fiasco industry. Such a "spot" on reputation will not erase many more years, which only enhances degrees of responsibility for the quality of Galaxy S8. Not having more error rights, Samsung invests in a new flagship a lot of effort, time and money. Galaxy S8 should be greater than perfect to recoup and yourself, and failure Galaxy Note. 7, estimated at $ 2 billion. Secondly, the company intends to complete the long-term competitive struggle with the apple definite victory of his Android flagship.

How justified by the claims of Samsung on leadership, which new unique characteristics are endowed with a new smartton and whether Galaxy S8 has a chance to loyalty consumers, consider further.

SpecificationsSamsung Galaxy S8 I.Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus.

The eighth Galaxy immediately draws attention to the bold innovative screen. It is almost deprived of the frame, just on top without reaching the edge for a couple of millimeters. In this regard, it seems that the manufacturer got rid of the keys homepageBut in fact they are embedded in the screen itself. Samsung has been faithful to the design of smartphones with smoothed corners of the body, and in Galaxy S8, this style has been preserved. The display is curved in both directions, improving the review. The manufacturer endowed a novelty with a resolution of Quad HD + Super AMOLED with a saturated color range and at the same time economical power consumption. The screen diagonal at Galaxy S8 is 5.8 inches and 6.2 inches from Galaxy S8 Plus. According to Samsung, it is maximum size Device, which is in high demand.

Galaxy S8 installed improved biometric system Protection, namely the scanner of the iris. Despite the beamless screen, manufacturers managed to accommodate frontal chamber in 8 megapixel The main camera received 12 meters. The main chamber is double with a diaphragm F 1.7. The system is able to make 3 photos at the same time, and then choose the best.

The model will be implemented with various processors depending on the distribution market. For Europe, devices with EXYNOS 8895 chipsets are planned for the other markets - with Snapdragon 835.

The heartbeat sensor is installed on the rear surface of the housing, as well as a dactylconic scanner. This placement of the scanner is the "exotic" of the company, since it is usually placed on the right side of the rear cap.

It is worth noting that in Galaxy S8 is used artificial Intelligence BIXBY. BIXBY is voice assistantwhose capabilities are significantly wider than Siri and Google Assistant. Through it can be managed not only by the smartphone itself, but also by SAMSUNG other devices. For example, "smart" clock.

From numerous characteristics of samsung Galaxy S8 should also be allocated as follows:availability at the flagship wireless charging Qi and PMA and waterproof protection IP68. The IP68 standard allows the smartphone to work at a depth of 1.5 m about half an hour.

The manufacturer of the flagship presented a modest color gamut: white, black, gray and silver.

Features Galaxy S8. Expected innovations in the technical characteristics of Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus

Screen Galaxy S8.

An technologically perfect screen is definitely one of the "chips" Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 +. Resolution 18.5: 8, instead of a classic 18: 9, allowed the manufacturer to smooth out the impression of "shovels". But, in addition, the flagship is endowed with a number of other exceptional opportunities making it so expected in the market.

Bluetooth 5 Galaxy S8

In 2016, the latter specifications were adopted on this moment Bluetooth generations. The eighth Galaxy became the first smartphone that supports Bluetooth 5. Among other things, the standard allows you to transfer music to two devices at once. For example, on Bluetooth headphones or columns. In this case, the sound in one device is adjusted independently of the other.

Galaxy S8 processors

The manufacturer developed the flagship with the back for the future. The device can work in gigabit networks that are not yet in commercial exploitation. Such an opportunity is provided to both the SNAPDRAGON 835 processor and exynos 8895, supporting the LTE modem Snapdragon X16.

Biometric galaxy Protection S8.

One of of the most important characteristics Galaxy S8, which distinguishes it from other smartphones, is a high degree of biometric protection. The flagship uses three similar sensors at once: fingerprint scanner, iris scanner eye and face recognition. They are installed for different purposes, but the widest functionality received the iris scanner.

Galaxy S8 as a computer

Samsung became the first company, which commercially implemented the Multi-Deck interface of Android. Glava got exactly the Galaxy S8, which can be used as a computer by connecting to the monitor. Such an opportunity will especially like game lovers.

Galaxy S8 battery

Special attention deserves a battery-perfophone, made according to a unique technology that allows you to maintain its power. As a rule, the battery capacity is reduced during the use of 20% per year. For Galaxy S8, this indicator will be, according to the manufacturer, only 5%.

Cons Galaxy S8.

Screen Galaxy S8.

The advantages of Galaxy S8 can also play with him and the evil joke. First of all, it concerns the unusual screen. Potential users are afraid that the design is uncomfortable to use one hand. In addition, the lack of frames at the screen can provoke its random touch. The manufacturer seeks to avoid this disadvantage, making the home page-sensitive button embedded in the screen. The user in the settings will be able to adjust the pressing force at which it will work, as well as the power of the vibration block.

Scanner Galaxy S8.

Also, the locust is the location of the fingerprint scanner on the rear panel.

Galaxy S8 Battery Capacity

Despite the fact that the flagship batteries are unique in terms of operation, their container is quite low.

ComparisonSamsung Galaxy S8 and iPhone 7, as well as information about the cost and date of the SAMSUNG GALAXY S8, read the following articles of the portal site.

Information on the structure, principles of the work of subscriber devices, their high-speed indicators, as well as the general principles of work mobile communications Read in the unique book reference book "Mobile communication on the way to 6G".

South Korean manufacturer by tradition released two versions flagship Samsung. Galaxy S8 (as well as S8 Plus): one runs on the exynos processor base, and the other on Snapdragon. At the heart of the international model, which will appear in most countries of the world, exynos 8895 is used, and an exclusively in the United States and China will be issued a model with snapdragon chipset 835 on board.

One way or another, both solutions are very similar to each other, as they are made on the 10-nm technical process and possess the same number of cores. Exynos 8895 is based on Samsung's custom kernels and MALI G71 MP21 graphics accelerator. On board Snapdragon 835 there are KRYO 280 kernels of the Qualcomm company and the ADRENO 540 video screen.

To find out which of the processors is more powerful, we tested them in popular benchmarks, which gave us accurate numbers. The obvious winner, as you can see, could not be identified, but we managed to determine their strengths and weaknesses. In some conditions, the advantage of the SAMSUNG processor, and other leader becomes the product of Qualcomm.

Test results of both versions of Galaxy S8 / S8 Plus:

In benchmarks such as Antutu and Vellamo Metal Processors Snapdragon and Exynos walked nostril in the nostril. They also showed the same excellent result of 60 frames / s in GFXBENCH T-REX, and in Rendering test (Manhattan 3.1), the 835th turned out to be a little behind: 31 frames / s versus 41 in 8895.

Samsung Galaxy S8 with Exynos 8895 has retained the Geekbench benchmark leadership in both single-core mode and multi-core. Its result amounted to 2008/6575 points, while the opponent was able to gain 1840/6134 points, respectively.

On the other hand, Snapdragon left behind Exynos in Vellamo Browser Benchmark, as well as JetStream. This means that Qualcomm chipset will be faster to handle pages in the browser. In addition, the 835th showed an excellent result in Basemark II: 3420 points against 3202 in Exynos.

results sAMSUNG testing Galaxy S8 Plus.

No matter what Galaxy S8 / S8 Plus you buy (with an Exynos or Snapdragon processor), its performance will be on high level. Exynos 8895 is more suitable for those who like to play games, because it gives more FPS, and Snapdragon 835 best copes with surfing on the Internet.

Which version flagship Galaxy S8 shows higher results in benchmarks? Is there a difference in the performance of Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 + with one chip?

Like in past years samsung company Launched flagship smartphones in two configurations. The international market comes version with Exynos 8895 branded chip with an updated graphic accelerator MALI-G71. It is manufactured based on 10-nm technological processWhat provides higher performance and energy efficiency. In the USA and China for sale the option with powerful processor From Qualcomm, also using 10-nm technical process.

On paper both chipsets look very similar, as they use the same technologies. And this is really important, because users around the world cannot choose which version to purchase. As tests show, there are still differences.

Galaxy S8 smartphones based on EXYNOS 8895 and SNAPDRAGON 835 have passed several tests, including Vellamo Metal - Qualcomm reference testing.

In GFXBENCH, the devices did not have any problems in the T-REX test - both showed the result of 60 frames per second. But in Manhattan 3.1 Version Exynos 8895 came out a bit forward with 41 frames per second compared to Snapdragon 835 with 35 frames per second.

In GeekBench, the EXYNOS 8895 chip scored 2008/6575 points in single-core and multi-core tests, and Snapdragon 835 - 1840/6134 points. Although the gap is not very big, it does not mean that it is not statistically significant. But in Basemark OS II, Vellamo Browser and JetStream JavaScript showed itself Snapdragon 835. It may be noted that this processor is suitable for those who are important than the high speed of the Internet.

Interestingly, each chipset has its advantages. If Snapdragon 835 is different in navigating sites, Exynos 8895 shows a higher graphic performance.

It is worth noting that the Exynos 8895 version demonstrates more economical power consumption than the option with Snapdragon 835.

Theoretically Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 + on Exynos 8895 should show the same results. After all, the devices match the processors, the amount of RAM and the built-in drive, the display resolution is the difference in the size of the display.

However, Galaxy S8 + turns out to be more productive compared to the younger fellow. The reasons for which this happens still to be found out.

Today we will talk about how to find out sAMSUNG processor Galaxy S8. This operation may be required, for example, when checking a smartphone on authenticity, or when searching for a suitable alternative firmware.

1. Check on the model number

Model model SM-G950 * (Galaxy S8) or SM-G955 * (Galaxy S8 +) can be found, first, on a box with a smartphone, secondly, on back cover Devices, thirdly - in the system information ("Settings" -\u003e "On Device" -\u003e "Model Number").

If you have one of the following options: SM-G950F, SM-G950FD, SM-G950K, SM-G950L, SM-G950S or SM-G955F, SM-G955FD, SM-G955K, SM-G955L, SM-G955S, then inside Your Galaxy S8 / S8 + installed mobile processor Exynos 8895.

If the model number is in the following list: SM-G9500, SM-G950J, SM-G950A, SM-G950P, SM-G950R4, SM-G950T, SM-G950U, SM-G950V, SM-G950W or SM-G9550, SM -G955J, SM-G955A, SM-G955P, SM-G955R4, SM-G955T, SM-G955U, SM-G955V, SM-G955W, then your Galaxy S8 / S8 + is based on Qualcomm Snapdragon. 835.

Minus: on a fake near Samsung Galaxy S8, in principle, can write any model number. Yes, and sew it into the firmware, too, in general, easy. Therefore, more "deep" check is required.

2. Check using CPU-Z

Popular CPU-Z utility output detailed information About the "hardware" of a smartphone, including its processor. App for free and it can be easily installed from the store google applications Play.

All the necessary information Present on the SOC and Device tabs. If exynos 8895 or SNAPDRAGON 835 is currently here - you have a real Samsung Galaxy S8. If there is no - Chinese software (e) of the dress is likely to be on one of the MediaTek chipsets.

Alternatively, you can use popular benchmark like Geekbench and Antutu, which also highlight detailed information "stuffing" smartphone.
