South Korean tech giant Samsung has now officially announced its Exynos 1280 chipset which has already been deployed in some Galaxy smartphones. The Exynos 1280 powers the Galaxy A33, Galaxy A53, and Galaxy M33 mid-range smartphones.

The Exynos 1280 is produced from the 5nm EUV process. It has 2 Cortex-A78 which clock at 2.4GHz and 6 Cortex-A55 at 2.0GHz. The CPU is 64-bit, while its GPU is Arm Mali-G68. The AI engine comes with an onboard neural processing unit (NPU) 4.3 TOPS. The Exynos 1280 has a 5G modem and supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity. The specs also include a 108MP camera, 16MP triple camera setup, and 4K video recording. The display is FHD+ with a 120Hz display refresh rate. The memory and storage of the chip are LPDDR4x/UFS 2.2.

The Samsung Exynos 1280 is produced by Samsung Foundry and it is optimized with Fused Multiply-Add (FMA) technology. Power consumption and battery life are also enhanced with the new chipset due to its efficient setup. The multi-frame image processing capabilities of the Exynos 1280 provide clearer images with less noise. The chipset has already debuted in some Samsung Galaxy mid-rangers and other brands may tap it into their architecture.

Samsung reportedly developing Exynos 1280 chipset for entry-level smartphones

South Korea-based technology giant Samsung has been the dominating player in the smartphone market and is one of the few manufacturers that makes its own chipsets powering the smartphones.

The company has a lineup of Exynos chips that are mainly targeted towards mid-range and flagship/premium smartphones. However, as per the latest report, it seems that Samsung is gearing up to launch a new chipset for entry-level smartphones.

Tipster Ice Universe has revealed that the South Korean giant is working on a new Exynos 1280 chipset which will be manufactured using a 5nm process. Further, the report adds that the specifications are lower than the Exynos 1080, which means that this new chip is aimed towards entry-level smartphones.

As of now, not much is known about this upcoming chipset for budget smartphones but given that 5G has become mainstream now, we expect the processor to come with support for 5G connectivity.

Currently, the Exynos 1080 is the company’s starting range chipset which is an octa-core processor with one Arm Cortex-A78 core running at 2.8GHz, three Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.6GHz, and four Cortex-A55 cores. As of now, Vivo appears to be the only company using the Exynos 1080 chip in its smartphones.

Going forward, Samsung is planning to increase the usage of its own Exynos series chips in its smartphones and thus, there’s a high probability that the upcoming entry-level chipset, Exynos 1280, will be powering smartphones launched by Samsung.

Apart from this, the company is also expected to launch another chipset, which is likely to be Exynos 2200 with AMD GPU. This chipset will be the flagship offering from the brand and will power the upcoming Galaxy S22-series smartphones in some regions.

Samsung has shifted its focus towards the chipset business as the company plans to be less dependent on other companies. The South Korean company also played a big part in the development of Google’s first custom chip for smartphones — Tensor. There are reports hinting that the Tensor SoC is a variant of the Exynos chip.
