As consumers demand more from their mobile products, Samsung’s Exynos chips will be the power inside enabling the coolest HD multi-media features with even longer battery life."

Exynos is intended to echo Samsung’s ‘smart and green’ strategy adopted by its semiconductor devices and solutions developed specifically to support the stringent performance and power requirements of mobile devices.
