Samsung’s newest smart phone chip could be the company’s first Exynos processor in order to feature a built-in LTE-A modem. The new ModAP chip is the first Exynos SoC with an LTE modem built-in, and really should offer much more flexibility when it comes to Samsung’s processor brand. The ModAP is made upon 28nm HKMG architecture and The samsung company guarantees that it must be built to not just support LTE speeds (completely up to LTE-A standard), however all of those other high demands which come from today’s smartphones. A signal processor chip for cameras up to 8MP, and also support for an Exynos RF companion chip for improved connectivity. This means phones using new Samsung Exynos ModAP series chips will support 2G, 3G, and 4G mobile broadband and they also will not need a separate application processor.

More reasonably, this could mean Samsung would not have to offer several versions of their phones in the future: the company’s last few flagship phones have featured Samsung Exynos ModAP processors in some markets, however Qualcomm chips (with integrated LTE) in some others.
All advised, the Exynos ModAP series chips will not be the most powerful processors Samsung offers at launch, however they could be some of the most versatile and they also could pave the way for upcoming chips with higher performance and built-in support for speedy mobile network connections.
Samsung hasn’t quite provided all of us the complete technical rundown from the ModAP chip as yet, but it should not become a long time before we finally have our hands on this. This remains to be seen if it is the chip that will power the upcoming Note 4 and other flag ships, or if it will be their own mid-range processor, leaving behind the heavy lifting to something different. Once we listen to much more from Samsung we will be able to figure all this out.
