Below you can check out the detailed specifications of both new chipsets:
Exynos 1380:
Samsung has manufactured the Exynos 1380 chipset for the Galaxy A54 smartphone coming next month. This 5nm chipset features 4x Cortex-A78 CPU cores clocked at 2.4GHz, 4x Cortex-A55 CPU cores clocked at 2.0GHz, and Mali-G68 MP5 GPU clocked at 950MHz.
The SoC is compatible with the storage of LPDDR4x, LPDDR5, UFS v2.2/UFS v3.1. It further features the advanced Triple Image Signal Processor (ISP) based on the cutting-edge technology of flagship processors.
Moreover, the chipset equips flagship-level camera features including up to 200MP image sensor support, zero shutter lag at up to 64MP, High Dynamic Range, and Electronic Image Stabilization. It also supports 4K video recording at 30 fps with EIS and HDR and real-time object recognition for improved camera performance.
In addition to this, the product is built for visual comfort. It offers a fast display refresh rate of up to 144Hz at Full HD+, enabling a seamless viewing experience and smooth scrolling.
Aside from these, the 5G modem supports mmWave and sub-6GHz networks, reaching peak download speeds of up to 3.67Gbps and upload speeds of up to 1.28Gbps. It also supports GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, and USB Type-C port.
Exynos 1330:
The Exynos 1330 is made for entry-level smartphones, such as the Galaxy A14 and Galaxy M14. It is also a 5nm processor that has two Cortex-A78 CPU cores clocked at 2.4GHz, six Cortex-A55 CPU cores clocked at 2GHz, and the Mali-G68 MP2 GPU. It’s also compatible with the storage of LPDDR4x, LPDDR5, UFS v2.2/UFS v3.1.
Moreover, the SoC integrates an enhanced image signal processor that supports up to 108MP for pro-grade quality. It can capture 32MP images with zero shutter lag and supports a dual 16MP + 16MP camera setup with zero shutter lag. In the meantime, the Multi Format Codec can record and play 4K videos at 30 fps in HEVC, H.264, and VP8 codecs.
In addition to these, the Exynos 1330 chipset can drive a Full HD+ 120Hz display. Its 5G modem is capable of sub-6GHz 5G networks and can reach up to 2.55Gbps peak download speeds and 1.28Gbps upload speeds of 5G networks.
Last but least, this SoC supports GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, and USB Type-C port.
Samsung Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus, and Galaxy S22 Ultra smartphones are getting an Android 14-based One UI 6.1.1 update. The company has initiated this update rollout for S22 series users in Korea and the company will expand it in more countries soon.
One UI 6.1.1 update for the Samsung Galaxy S22 series arrives with One UI build versions given below.
- S901NKSU5EXH7 – Galaxy S22
- S906NKSU5EXH7 – Galaxy S22 Plus
- S908NKSU5EXH7 – Galaxy S22 Ultra
Developing…
Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus could look the same as S24 Plus from the front. The company has reportedly reduced side bezels on the vanilla and Ultra variants. Meanwhile, the lineup’s middle child could introduce no bezel refinements.
The Galaxy S25 Plus could have wider bezels than S25 and S25 Ultra. Tipster IceUniverse claims that the move is aligned with differentiating the Plus from Ultra. It’s also said that the recently leaked renders have frame appearance errors.
The S25 Ultra is said to be slightly thicker and more squarish than the S25 Plus. This is highly due to identical display size with a difference of only 0.1mm. The backplate will have notable differences due to distinct cameras and sensors.
Samsung’s next-gen flagships will likely debut in January next year. Details about the upcoming phones are floating heavily, fading the One UI 7 trend. However, things may change with time as early rumors couldn’t be considered final specs.
A bad news,S25+ will be the widest bezel among the three models, which is almost the same as S24+.
It may be that Samsung did this on purpose to make way for S25 Ultra.

I have a more accurate CAD than onleaks, which contains lines that were missing before, so I know this.

The Galaxy S25 Plus could be equipped with a 4900mAh battery. Similar to the S24 Plus, it would support 45W fast charging technology. Yet, you can expect even longer battery performance due to the enhanced application processor.
Samsung will either use Exynos 2500 or Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Both chipsets will be developed using the next-generation 3nm chipset. Improved display technology may further push the power efficiency, offering even more juice to run.
Samsung Foundry is not doing well with the newest cutting-edge technologies. Now, a new report from a Korean media outlet suggests that Samsung could begin DS Division restructuring by year-end, aiming to break down silos.
According to ChosunBiz (via TrendForce), Samsung plans a major shuffle in the DS (Semiconductor Foundry) Division. The move is aimed at addressing issues like lack of communication and team self-interest.
Additionally, Samsung is also facing competition in the DRAM market, falling behind SK Hynix in HBM and DDR5. TrendForce highlights that the company needs to go beyond restructuring to fundamentally change its organization.
Samsung’s DS division reportedly planning to strengthen collaboration processes by integrating existing team-based structures into a project-centered model, to resolve issues arising from the siloed operation of departments.
Recently, it was reported that the company is planning to cut up to 30% of its workforce in the future. The Korean tech giant’s Foundry business is struggling due to various issues, including low yields for the 3nm GAA process.
Earlier, The Korea Times reported that yield for Samsung’s 3nm process remained in the single digits until Q1 this year, and slightly improved to about 20% in Q2. The company needs the yield rate to be at least 60 percent to trigger mass production.
A Samsung spokesperson cited by Chosun Biz admitted that there continues to be a disconnection between the departments developing new processes and those responsible for mass production, with serious issues arising from the shifting of blame for failures.
