The chipset is designed on a 7nm nanometer procedure and is expected to be reserved for Samsung's flagships such as the Galaxy S10 series, and plausibly, even Annotation x.

While the chipset is all the same to the hit assembly line, leaked AnTuTu benchmark scores suggest that the S10 serial might non be its only recipient.
