The new chipset will also usher in a new generation of camera sensors with the chipset touted to have a 16 megapixel camera chip with a back illuminated sensor that allows for better low-light performance. The front camera will have a 1.2 MP sensor capable of capturing 720p at 30fps. According to GSMArena, the camera will have a 1/8.2 sensor with an ISO up to 1600. 

 

The Exynos 4212 chipset will have a 32nm process fabrication technology and will have 3D support, as well. The new Galaxy S II LTE and Galaxy S II HD LTE that is set to release in Korea soon, will have the Exynos chipsets with a CPU clock of 1.5GHz. Currently, the highest clocking rate is 1.4GHz by the Galaxy Note and the Galaxy Tab 7.7, but with the new Exynos chipsets, that will soon be a thing of the past.

If you’ve used any of Samsung’s flagships in the past, you’ll be right at home with the new S4. We quite liked the handset during our brief encounter with it a few weeks back and after using it for about a week, we have come to like it even more.
