Samsung Exynos 1480
Samsung's midrange answer to its own GPU problem: the Galaxy A55's chip drops Mali for an AMD-derived Xclipse 530 that Samsung claims is 53% faster than the Exynos 1380's graphics. Four 2.75 GHz Cortex-A78 cores on 4nm handle the rest without drama.
Pros
- AMD RDNA-based Xclipse 530 GPU
- 53% GPU uplift over the Exynos 1380
- Four Cortex-A78 cores at 2.75 GHz
- Roughly 22% better efficiency than its predecessor
Cons
- No Armv9 cores
- Xclipse drivers still trail Adreno for consistency
- 4K capture limited to 30fps
Below average
