Samsung has unveiled the successor to the Exynos 1280, the Samsung Exynos 1380. The mid-range chipset has some interesting features and is quite packed for a midrange chip. Let’s take a look at what the brand has integrated with the Samsung Exynos 1380 chipset.
Features of the Samsung Exynos 1380 chipset
Samsung Exynos 1380 is manufactured on Samsung‘s 5nm EUV technology(which is quite impressive for a mid-range chip) and has a CPU with four Cortex-A78 performance cores clocked at 2.4GHz and four Cortex-A55 efficiency cores clocked at 2.0GHz. Arm’s Mali-G68 MP5 handles the GPU side. For reference, A lower process node number implies that smaller transistors are used, which allows more to fit inside a device. And the more transistors a chip has, the more powerful and energy-efficient it is. In essence, a 5 nm chip is amazing.
The Samsung Exynos 1380 is equipped with UFS 3.1 storage compatibility, as well as a more capable Al Engine. The chipset can now support phones with FHD+ resolution, 144Hz refresh rate displays, 200MP main cameras, triple cameras up to 16 MP, and 4K video @30fps recording and playback.
The on-device Al capabilities, according to Samsung, offer more advanced language recognition for voice assistance as well as increased picture identification. In terms of connectivity, the device includes an inbuilt 5G modem that supports both mmWave and sub-6GHz networks. The chip also handles dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, and location through BeiDou, Galileo, GLONASS, and GPS.
Since the chipset is a mid-range chip, it should be debuting on the midrange devices of Samsung, probably the A-series. According to GSMArena, the Samsung Galaxy A54 should be among the first set of smartphones to debut with this chipset.
