Samsung Exynos 1680
Samsung's 4nm Exynos 1680 powers the Galaxy A57 5G (the cheaper Galaxy A37 5G instead uses the older Exynos 1480), pairing eight Cortex-A720/A520 cores with a Xclipse 550 GPU and a 19.6 TOPS NPU for a modest but genuine upgrade over the Exynos 1580.
Pros
- All-A720 'big and mid' core cluster (5 performance cores) lifts multi-core over the Exynos 1580
- 19.6 TOPS NPU is a meaningful on-device AI uplift for this segment
- Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 6.1 keep connectivity current
- UFS 4.1 storage and LPDDR5X memory support are ahead of many midrange rivals
Cons
- CPU and GPU gains over the Exynos 1580 are incremental, not a generational leap
- Geekbench 6 and AnTuTu scores trail same-tier MediaTek and Qualcomm chips
- Peak 5G download is capped at 5.1 Gbps sub-6 (FR1); no mmWave (FR2) advantage in real deployments
