Samsung recently unveiled the Galaxy A55 smartphone equipped with the Exynos 1480 chipset. While details about the processor were initially scarce, Samsung has now provided a comprehensive overview of its capabilities.
Exynos 1480 Specifications
The Exynos 1480 showcases a hybrid CPU setup, comprising four potent Arm Cortex-A78 cores running at 2.75 GHz for demanding tasks, and four Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz to enhance power efficiency.
Graphics and AI Capabilities
A standout feature is the Xclipse 530 GPU, based on AMD’s RDNA architecture, which enhances graphics performance by 53% compared to its predecessor. Additionally, the chipset incorporates a built-in AI Engine with a 6K MAC NPU, enabling AI-driven functionalities akin to those in the Galaxy S24 series.
Connectivity and Multimedia Support
The Exynos 1480 ensures robust wireless connectivity with Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi 6E, sub-6 GHz 5G, mmWave 5G, and cat.18 LTE for swift and versatile connections. It can handle FHD+ displays at a smooth 144 Hz refresh rate and supports a single 200MP sensor for photography enthusiasts. The chip also facilitates seamless 4K 60 FPS H.264 video encoding and decoding.
The Galaxy A55 is the inaugural device to integrate the Exynos 1480. However, Samsung is expected to introduce additional devices powered by this cutting-edge chipset in the near future.
