South Korean smartphone maker, Samsung, revealed two brand new Exynos chipsets for their Galaxy A series of smartphones, the Exynos 1380 and the Exynos 1330.
The Exynos 1380 is the company's latest mid-range chipset based on the 5nm architecture. It features four ARM Cortex-A78 CPU cores running at 2.4GHz and four ARM Cortex-A55 CPU cores running at 2GHz. There is also a Mali-G68 MP5 GPU clocked at 950MHz to handle graphics.
The Exynos 1380 also supports both LPDDR4x and LPDDR5 DRAM chips and UFS 3.1 storage. Furthermore, Samsung says the chipset boasts an upgraded NPU that can process up to 4.9 trillion operations per second. That means on-device AI functionalities and advanced language recognition for voice assistants and better image quality for photographs.
In terms of connectivity, the Exynos 1380's built-in 5G modem supports both mmWave and sub-6GHz networks and boasts download speeds that peak at 3.67Gbps and upload speeds up to 1.28Gbps. Other connectivity options include support for BeiDou, Galileo, GLONASS, GPS, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, and USB Type-C ports. The chipset is anticipated to power the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A54 5G smartphone.
On the other hand, the Exynos 1330 is Samsung's first-ever entry-level chipset based on the advanced 5nm EUV process. The South Korean tech giant says it is designed to be power-efficient and provide an extended battery life through several low-power techniques.
The Exynos 1330 features two Cortex-A78 CPU cores clocked at 2.4GHz and six Cortex-A55 CPU cores clocked at 2GHz alongside the Mali-G68 MP2 GPU. The built-in 5G modem can reach download speeds of up to 2.55Gbps and upload speeds of up to 1.28Gbps on 5G networks. The Exynos 1330 supports up to 108MP cameras and can capture 32MP images with zero shutter lag. The new chipset was first featured in the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G and is expected to be used in more lower-end Galaxy A series smartphones.
