- Samsung has announced a new mid-range Exynos 1380 chipset.
- Octa-core CPU boosts multi-core performance by 30%.
- It aims to improve 5G and bring 200MP cameras to mid-range phones.
Samsung hasn’t dabbled much with flagship devices like the recent Galaxy S23 series, but it’s still working on Exynos processors. announced the new Exynos 1380 SoC to
Despite being a mid-range processor, the Exynos 1380 promises significant improvements over its predecessor in terms of performance, gaming, and cameras. The latter, his Exynos 1280, was seen in mid-range devices like last year’s Galaxy A53 5G, Galaxy A33 5G and Galaxy M33.
The new Exynos 1380 aims to power games with app load times and multitasking, using a new octa-core CPU with 4x Arm Cortex A78 and 4x Cortex A55 that promises power efficiency. Compared to the Exynos 1280, these CPUs work together to deliver “nearly 40% faster running speeds, 20% faster game loading, and 30% stronger multi-core performance.” .
The chipset uses the gaming-ready Arm Mali G68 GPU, which promises powerful and consistent graphics as well as long battery life.According to Samsung (opens in new tab), the chipset also uses an AI engine through an improved NPU capable of 4.9 trillion operations per second. This facilitates voice assistant functionality for devices with advanced language speech recognition.
200MP camera support is key to the Exynos 1380’s other potential attributes. This chipset offers 200MP resolution to mid-range devices previously only available on high-end flagships such as the Galaxy S23 Ultra, thanks to a new Triple Image Signal Processor (ISP). Other points on the ISP include zero shutter lag for cameras up to 64MP, HDR, and EIS support.
For displays, the Exynos 1380 supports refresh rate displays up to 144Hz and features up to Full HD+ resolution. Additionally, when it comes to storage, the chipset allows the device to have his LPDDR4x/5 RAM and UFS 3.1 options.
Finally, the chipset is built on the 5nm process like its predecessors and supports 5G in mmWave and sub-GHz spectrum, with download speeds of up to 3.67Gbps and 3.79Gbps respectively.
Overall, the Exynos 1380 is a reasonable match for a recent chipset called the Dimensity 7200 made by MediaTek. The latter also wants his 200MP camera in a mid-range phone with a MediaTek Imagiq 765 and 14-bit HDR-ISP. With both newly announced mid-range chipsets, Android OEM devices are expected to compete with mobile phones on a global level.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is the ultimate camera phone thanks to its new 200MP sensor. Get more detailed images, improve low-light photos, and improve 8K video. Plus, the built-in S Pen helps you stay productive, and the new Snapdragon chip gives you all the performance you need.
