The South Korean tech giant Samsung is set to host one of the biggest smartphone launches of this year on August 7. The company will unveil the much-awaited Galaxy Note 10 series on the same date in the United States during a 'Galaxy Unpacked event'. Apart from the smartphone, Samsung is also expected to unveil a few other products including an all new processor, as confirmed by the company on its Twitter handle. Leading to the Galaxy Note 10 series, several reports have claimed that the new smartphones could be powered by a new processor -  Exynos 9825 SoC.

However, Samsung was silent on this speculations until it dropped a video teasing a new processor. The video revealed that the company is set to unveil a new processor that will be more  powerful and intelligent. Even though Samsung did not reveal the name of this processor, it is expected to be the all new Exynos 9825 SoC which is likely to power the new smartphones by the company. 

The new processor would be an upgrade on the Exynos 9825 which was used on this year's flagship smartphones - the Samsung Galaxy S10, S10+ and S10e. The Exynos 9825 chip may also feature dual-core NPU for advanced AI processing. The Exynos 9825 processor has appeared in a few benchmark tests in recent months where it has managed to outscore the Snapdragon 855 SoC in single-core performance. The latter is used by Samsung's competitors like Xiaomi, OnePlus and Asus on their flagship smartphones Redmi K20 Pro, OnePlus 7 Pro and the Asus 6Z, respectively.
