Samsung Unpacked 2022: Exynos 2200

 Samsung has announced 4 nm based Exynos 2200 SoC for powering flagship smartphones of this year including Samsung's up coming Galaxy S22 flagship arriving this month for European market. The Exynos 2200 is Samsung's flagship SoC of CPU, GPU and NPU featuring 8 cores of A9 ARM with hardware support of Bluetooth 5.2, 5G with sub 6 Ghz for 10 Gbps download speed, GPS, WIFI 6E, UFS 3.1, LPDDR5 quad channel RAM and GPS. The GPU is way powerful than competitors with Xclipse 920 powered by AMD RDNA2 architecture seen in Play station 4 and Microsoft Xbox.

  

Exynos 2200 is enabling Ray Tracing technology thanks to console quality AMD RDNA2 GPU that enhances graphics on mobile to immersive lightning, shadows and more detailed textures for both apps and games to the most real experiences of light. The another USP of AMD GPU is variable rate shading that improves GPU work loads by not degrading graphics performance in graphics heavy app or games user experience with smoother graphics than other SoCs. And there is one more enhancement, AMIGO by Exynos that enhances performance and consumes less power for graphics processing.  

Apart from console quality Xclipse 920 GPU, Exynos 2200 is upgrading 5G connectivity to more secure and reliable. The 5G is feature-pack with new technology like E-UTRAN and EN-DC dual connectivity that boosts 4G LTE and %G NR to speed upto 10 Gbps. The 5G is also enabling faster 3GPP 16 release and new mm-wave for reliable and faster connectivity than competitors. 

The Exynos 2200 is taking photography to next level with leaps of improvements to imaging. The Exynos 2200 is enabling imaging sensor of up to 200 Megapixels including 108 MP single camera, 30 fps freame shots, 64 mp+ 36 MP dual imaging, 8K or 4K video recording at 30 fps or 120 fps with 64 MP dual imaging capture with video and 4K HDR or HDR+. The Exynos 2200 is also supporting multi format codecs that support power efficient AV1 video decoding that is faster also. The display experience of mobile is also improved by HDR10+ enhancements at 144 Hz refresh rates beating iPhone 13 lineup's 120 Hz.

Here is detailed comparison of Exynos 2200 vs others:
