Samsung has been hush about the successor to the Exynos 2200 and while we stil wait for that, the company has gone ahead and announced a duo of mid-range Exynos processors. The Exynos 1330 and Exynos 1380 are brand new chipsets from the company. Both chipsets bring 5G support along with better performance for mid-range phones.
Samsung’s history with Exynos chipsets is rocky at best, and while we are not sure how these chips will perform, one can only hope that Samsung has found the perfect formula.
Samsung Exynos 1380 and Exynos 1330 both look excellent on paper and will be powering this year’s Galaxy A devices
Let’s start with the Exynos 1380. You are looking at a 5nm chipset with four ARM Cortext-A78 cores running at 2.4GHz, and four ARM Cortex-A55 cores running at 2GHz. Handling the graphical power is a Mali-G68 MP5 GPU running at 950Ghz. Samsung states that this configuration can handle FHD+ displays running at 144Hz refresh rate. As for memory, you are looking at LPDDR4x and LPDDR5 RAM support, along with UFS 3.1 storage.
Samsung is not slouching on the cameras either because the chipset can run up to 200-megapixel camera sensors and the Exynos 1380 also has an NPU that is capable of handling 4.9TOPS. The camera sensors can also record 4K video recording at 30 FPS with electronic image stabilization, HDR, real-time object recognition and overall better camera performance.
Regarding connectivity on this latest Exynos chip, Samsung has ensured that you are getting built-in 5G modes with support for both mmWave and sub-6GHz networks. Rest of the connectivity offerings include BeiDou, Galileo, GLONASS, GPS, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, and USB Type-C for charging. You can expect future mid-range Galaxy A phones to sport this chipset.
We then have the Exynos 1330, an entry level chipset based on 5nm process. With this chipset, you get a dual Cortex-A78 CPU cores clocked at 2.4GHz and six Cortex A-55 CPU cores running at 2GHz, and coupled with this is a Mali-G68 MP2 GPU. Samsung claims that it can run FHD+ displays with 120Hz refresh rate. You get the same RAM and storage compatibility as the Exynos 1380.
For cameras, Samsung has mentioned that the Exynos 1330 supports up to 108-megapixel cameras and is able to capture 32-megapixel images with no shutter lag. There is also support for a 16+16-megpaixel camera configuration. Users can record videos up to 4K.
Again, you are looking at integrated 5G modem that can run both mmWave and sub-6GHz networks. Rest of the connectivity is the same.
Honestly, Samsung has made these chipsets look really nice on paper but we will have to wait for the full release to see just how good they perform in real life. We can expect these chips to power this year’s Galaxy A phones, and considering how these phones have become the bread and butter for Samsung, we can expect stellar performance.
