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.
Eyeing Exynos advancements, Samsung joined RISC-V, an open-source software development project to build and spread an advanced semiconductor ecosystem. Recently, the company announced that it has become a member of the operating board of directors for “RISC-V.”
To be noted RISC-V is an open source software development project launched by the Linux Foundation, an open source non-profit organization. This is an organization launched to develop software using RISC-V, n open source (open) semiconductor design asset (IP, Intellectual Property).

Including Samsung, global IT and semiconductor companies such as Google, Intel, Nvidia, and Qualcomm are participating. Companies participating in the RISE project, including Samsung, plan to jointly develop software based on RISC-V.
“We will participate in the RISE project and collaborate with other companies to build a sustainable RISC-V-based open source software ecosystem,” said Park Soo-hong, head of the Open Source Group at Samsung Research and a member of the Linux Foundation board of directors.
It is easy to implement applications or services, which operate on RISC-V-based chipsets, and resources required for development and maintenance can be reduced. It’s expected to be used in various fields such as mobile, home appliances, data centers, and vehicle applications.
Meanwhile, RISE operating board members include Samsung Electronics, Google, Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Red Hat, Mediatek, Andes, and Imae Thirteen companies including Imagination Rivos, SiFive, Ventana, T-Head are Samsung participating.

Samsung Biometric Card IC is an all-in-one security solution, which offers biometric cards a variety of things they need to make everyday transactions safer and PIN free. Notably, this technology was selected as a winner of the CES 2023 Best of Innovation Awards in the Cybersecurity & Personal Privacy category.

Let’s take a look at how Samsung Biometric Card IC can make card transactions PIN free and convenient, solving one of the world’s most pressing payment and identification problems. The video mentioned below gives you a high-level understanding of how it will change the way people pay in the future.
What the video below:
Samsung Biometric Card IC
An innovative payment card technology called a biometric card offers cardholders a secure and convenient way to authenticate themselves at the point of sale (POS) by using their fingerprint instead of a personal identification number (PIN) or signature.
Cardholders don’t need to enter a PIN for high-value transactions, making transactions faster and easier. An added layer of security reduces concerns about the card or PIN theft and increases confidence in using the card, especially when traveling because you don’t have to worry about fraudulent payments even if your card is stolen or lost.
Samsung’s latest Galaxy S23 series brings some of the best camera smartphones out there. Following the launch, it was noticed that the non-Ultra models of Samsung Galaxy S23 have some issues, causing blurry close-up shots, which are now officially acknowledged.
What’s the issue?
Some Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus smartphone users noticed that the area around the subject looks a bit blurred when taking a close-up shot. The impact of this problem is limited to both low-end models of the lineup, while the Ultra remains issue-free.
What’s the reason?
Samsung disclosed through its community post that Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus use a 50-megapixel primary camera powered by AI features and machine learning. The blurry close-up problem causes due to the sensor’s bright aperture, which makes stunning Nitghtography possible.
Fix coming in the future!
Samsung not only explained the issue and shared the reason, but also confirmed that the blurry close-up shots problem on Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus is planned to improve (fix) in a future software update. However, when this software update will release, remains a question for now.
Workarounds
If you are experiencing this on your Samsung Galaxy S23 or S23+, there are a few solutions you can try:
- Try taking a picture from a bit further away; if the subject you are photographing is about 30 cm away, move back a hand’s width
- Try to take a photo holding the phone vertically; if you hold the phone horizontally or diagonally, the background may appear blurred.
Why S23 Ultra is unimpacted?
Galaxy S23 Ultra remains unimpacted from the blurry shot issue as its camera automatically switches to the wide-angle camera and activates the focus booster to prevent blur. But do note that the focus enhancer stops working in high-resolution image mode, possibly resulting in a blurry close-up.
