Sep 12, 2017 3:15 AM • by Doug Lynch | Samsung Announces a New 11nm LPP Process; Says 7nm LPP Process is on Schedule Samsung might not have their Exynos SoC in the majority of smartphones today, but they build the ones that a lot of people are using. For example, since the last two years, Qualcomm has hired Samsung to fabricate their high-end Snapdragon chips after being partnered with TSMC for so long. Thanks to these partnerships, Samsung has been able to grow its foundry business and today, they have strengthened their portfolio with the announcement of a new 11nm process technology. When comparing this new process to their older earlier 14nm LPP process, the 11nm LPP delivers up to 15% more performance while also reducing the chip area by 10%. This doesn't bring a reduction in power consumption though, and is simply about increasing performance while also reducing the chip area. We're currently used to Samsung's 10nm FinFET process in SoCs such as the Snapdragon 835, but the company is positioning this new 11nm LPP process as a way to bring differentiated value to mid to high-end smartphones. This new technology is currently scheduled for production for the first half of 2018. Along with this new announcement today, the company has also confirmed that the development of their 7nm LPP process is still on schedule and has not faced any delays. This product will be using EUV (extreme ultra violet) lithography technology and is said to be on track for its initial production in the second half of 2018. The company has been working on this EUV lithographic technology since 2014 and since then they've been able to produce close to 200,000 wafers. Previously, this was shown to result in low yield but as they learnt more about it, Samsung has been able to apply new methods which has increased their yield up to 80% for their 256 megabit (Mb) SRAM (static random-access memory) units. For those wanting to learn more about Samsung's foundry roadmap, you can look forward to Samsung Foundry Forum Japan on September 15, 2017, in Tokyo for more details.

It comes with a ceramic body with 7-series aluminum frame, and four sided curved design which produces not only comfortable grip in your hand and also returns durable. Like Mi Mix, this phone houses a fingerprint sensor which has located at the back side for unlocking a device, the volume rockers and power button placed at the right edge of the apparatus.
The Mi Mix 2 smartphone sports a single rear camera which contains a 12MP sensor with Sony IMX386, 1.25um pixel, and 4-axis OIS, which is the same sensor we have seen on the Xiaomi Mi 6 and Mi Max 2 smartphone. On the front, it rocks a 5.99-inch bezel-less display with 18:9 aspect ratio which is the 12% smaller than its predecessor of the 6.4-inch screen. Also, it takes 93% of the total front exterior of the device, and just below the screen, it has given the 5MP front-facing camera just like Mi Mix and Doogee Mix. This phone is equipped with a 3400mAh capacity battery. It features a sound controlled speaker and an ultrasonic proximity sensor located above the display. Under the hood, it comes packed with a 2.35GHz Snapdragon 835 octa-core processor coupled with Adreno 540 graphics and 6GB of RAM, which would deliver great multitasking experience when you run heavy loaded games and applications. There are 64GB, 128GB and 256GB storage options which might not be supported the external memory. It is a dual SIM phone carried by a 4G LTE connectivity. Unlike the Mi Mix, this smartphone has removed 3.5mm stereo jack on the Mi Mix 2 phone. Other connectivity options include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, USB Type-C port, GPS/A-GPS navigation support and more. The Mi Mix 2 smartphone is priced at 3299 Yuan for 64GB + 6GB RAM model, 3599 Yuan for 128GB + 6GB RAM variant and 3999 Yuan for the 256GB + 6GB RAM option. Also, this phone is providing the special edition of the device which is in White color option which is priced at 4699 Yuan for 128GB + 8GB RAM model. | | |
