Samsung Exynos 1380 video flaunts on-device AI, powerful performance
Samsung has now officially released the introduction video of the Exynos 1380 5G processor, which delivers powerful performance, a pro-grade camera, and on-device artificial intelligence (AI). Let’s have a quick overview of key features, followed by the official introduction video of the brain behind Galaxy A54.
Artificial Intelligence:
The Exynos 1380 is designed to enable new mobile experiences with an AI engine featuring an enhanced NPU that supports up to 4.9 trillion operations per second. It enables new and smarter mobile experiences such as advanced language recognition for voice assistance with the on-device AI capabilities.
The Exynos 1380 with NPU enables multiple object recognition in the image to enhance the quality of each object.*
Camera AI:
The Exynos 1380 features the advanced Triple Image Signal Processor (ISP) based on the cutting-edge technology of flagship processors. The ISP offers 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.
Performance:
The Exynos 1380 processor uses four powerful Arm Cortex-A78 CPUs to handle performance-intensive tasks for fast loading and seamless multitasking. Besides, four power-efficient Cortex-A55 CPUs are used to handle always-on tasks for long-lasting battery life.
Improved microarchitecture design and precise power control deliver optimal performance and superior efficiency.
An advanced scheduler manages this octa-core CPU, which allocates tasks to the CPU for speed and power efficiency in real time. Thanks to these meaningful improvements, the Exynos 1380 delivers up to approximately 40% faster execution speed, 20% faster game loading, and 30% more powerful multi-core performance.
Gaming:
Exynos 1380 offers powerful and steady graphics processing performance for an immersive and steady 3D gaming experience, all thanks to the ARM Mali G68 GPU, which features five cores running at 950 MHz. Moreover, enhanced performance and advanced API support make it a chip of a new kind of gameplay experience.
Stunning visuals:
Samsung’s Exynos 1380 enables a seamless viewing experience and smooth scrolling with a fast display refresh rate of up to 144Hz at Full HD+. Adaptive Tone Control technology adjusts brightness and contrast according to the ambient light to improve visibility, whatever the weather, even in very bright outdoor environments.
5G for all:
The latest mid-range Exynos chipset offers fast download speeds of up to 3.79 Gbps and upload speeds of up to 1.28 Gbps, courtesy of an integrated 5G modem. With this speed and low latency of 5G, it supports user experiences that require lightning-fast network speeds such as live broadcasts or streaming on the go.

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.

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.
