Enjoy the full measure of artificial intelligence on the go. A powerful neural processing unit (NPU) and digital signal processor (DSP) are built into the Exynos 990 for the next-level of on-device artificial intelligence. The Exynos 990, featuring dual-core neural processing unit (NPU) and improved digital signal processor (DSP), can perform up to approx. fifteen trillion operations per second (TOPS).¹ This allows smartphone to offer richer mobile experiences with diverse intelligent features including intelligent camera, virtual assistant and extended reality. The Exynos 990 processor designed for AI will take smartphone’s capabilities to the next level.

The pro-grade camera gets upgraded with added intelligence. Machine learning capability of the NPU automatically detects objects in the scene allowing the image signal processor (ISP) to generate and apply specific camera settings tailored to that subject. For instance, when the NPU detects a face in the frame, it enables the ISP to automatically provide the best settings for the lighting condition and the person’s skin tone. In addition, the ISP features advanced algorithms to reduce noise, improve texture and edge artifact, and perform better local tone mapping for ultimate image quality. The Exynos 990 supports up to six individual sensors including an ultra-high 108Mp image sensor and is able to process three sensors concurrently for fuller multi-camera experiences.

Stream and download at hyper-fast speed in 5G. The Exynos 990 processor brings incredibly fast mobile broadband in the palm of your hand when paired with the next generation 5G technology, the Exynos Modem 5123. The modem supports blazingly fast download speed of up to 7.35Gbps in mmWave and 5.1Gbps in sub-6GHz setting with up to 8x carrier aggregation.² For uncompromised performance in 4G LTE mode, it supports up to 3Gbps of downlink speed and up to 422Mbps of uplink speed.² The modem also supports E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity (EN-DC) which combines LTE and 5G connectivity to maximize mobile downlink speed. Notably, the Exynos Modem 5123 is also built on the most advanced 7nm EUV process with diverse power saving technologies resulting in enhanced battery life in 5G communication.

Compete better with mind blowing graphics. The Exynos 990, packed with Arm Mali™-G77 MP11 GPU, offers ultimate 3D graphics processing for a realistic and immersive gaming experience. The Exynos 990 delivers improved graphic performance or power efficiency by up to 20 percent thanks to the new GPU architecture.³ The Valhall architecture is a new superscalar engine that delivers another leap in performance density and energy efficiency. Furthermore, combined with powerful CPU and LPDDR5 support, the Exynos 990 enables seamless gaming experience with less lags and faster loading speed so you can jump right into your favorite game and start leveling up in no time.

Film your moment like a motion picture. The Exynos 990 features an advanced multi-format codec that supports encoding and decoding of 8K UHD video at 30 frames per second (fps). With a bandwidth compression technology, the required bandwidth for transferring encoded and decoded data can be drastically reduced resulting in better power efficiency. In addition, perceptual video coding algorithm improves the video quality by optimizing certain parts of an image frame that are deemed to be more sensitive to the viewer based on human’s visual cognitive characteristics. By utilizing NPU’s AI capabilities, you can make your videos more creative or stylish with added special effects such as bokeh for movie-like depth of field. Last but not least, in addition to 10-bit video and HDR display support, the processor also features a 120Hz refresh-rate display driver which makes games come alive by reducing screen tearing and makes animations smoother even on devices with multiple displays, such as foldable phones.
