Samsung recently released the Galaxy A55 smartphone with the Exynos 1480 processor. However, the company didn’t reveal many details about the processor during the launch. However, Samsung has now revealed a full picture of what this chip is capable of.

Samsung Exynos 1480 Specifications

The Exynos 1480 boasts a hybrid CPU configuration featuring four powerful Arm Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.75 GHz for demanding tasks, alongside four Cortex-A55 cores running at 2.0 GHz for better power efficiency. 

The star of the show, however, is the Xclipse 530 GPU based on AMD’s RDNA architecture. It improves graphics performance by 53% compared to the previous generation says Samsung.

Jumping on the AI bandwagon, the Exynos 1480 features a built-in AI Engine with a 6K MAC NPU. While seemingly a less powerful version than the flagship Exynos 2400’s AI engine, it makes the Galaxy A55 capable of supporting AI-powered features found in the Galaxy S24 series. However, it depends on whether Samsung will roll out the relevant One UI 6.1 update to the device.

Wireless connectivity is well-covered with the Exynos 1480, supporting Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi 6E, sub-6 GHz 5G, mmWave 5G, and cat.18 LTE for fast, versatile connections. 

Moreover, the chip can handle displays up to FHD+ at a smooth 144 Hz refresh rate and packs the necessary power to handle a single 200MP sensor (64MP at 30 FPS, 32MP + 32MP at 30 FPS).

The chip can even encode and decode 4K 60 FPS H.264 videos with ease. Memory and storage support extends to LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage for snappy performance.

Built on a 4nm manufacturing process, likely Samsung’s own 4LPP+, the Exynos 1480 looks to offer improved power efficiency over previous-generation chips.
