✅ Positive Aspects

1. Tri-Cluster Flagship Architecture

The Exynos 9820 introduces a tri-cluster design with two Samsung custom M4 cores, two Cortex-A75 cores, and four Cortex-A55 cores, delivering strong performance for flagship-class multitasking and everyday use.

2. Enhanced GPU & Multimedia Support

With the Mali-G76 MP12 GPU, this SoC offers significant improvements over its predecessor in graphics workloads, allowing for smooth gaming and high-resolution content playback.

3. Advanced AI & Image Processing

The integrated NPU and advanced ISP enable enhanced AI tasks, multi-camera support, and improved photo/video processing quality, making it capable for modern imaging experiences.

❌ Negative Aspects

1. No Integrated 5G Modem

Unlike many modern flagship SoCs, the Exynos 9820 does not include a native 5G modem; 5G capability requires pairing with an external modem.

2. Older Process Node

Built on an 8 nm process, the SoC is less power efficient and performs lower overall efficiency compared with newer chips built on 7 nm or smaller nodes.

Device information for this processor will be available soon. We are working on collecting data about smartphones and tablets that use the Samsung Exynos 9820.
