The Exynos 1480 processor is expected to be inside the Galaxy A55, and it looks like it offers better multi-core performance compared to the Galaxy A54's Exynos 1380 chipset. The Exynos 1480 has been spotted in Geekbench's database. It scored 1,180 points in the single-core CPU performance test and 3,536 points in the multi-core CPU performance test. In comparison, the Galaxy A54 scored 1,108 points and 2,797 points in single-core and multi-core tests, respectively.
The phone uses the S5E8845 chipset, which, according to previous reports, is the Exynos 1480. The Exynos 1480 has four high-performance CPU cores clocked at 2.75GHz and four power-efficient CPU cores clocked at 2.05GHz. It features the RDNA2-based Xclipse 530 GPU, which is said to be much more powerful than the Mali GPUs used in previous Exynos chips. It isn't clear if this mid-tier GPU supports raytracing for games.
The images of the Galaxy A55 were leaked a few days ago. Apparently, the phone features a metal frame, a first for Galaxy A series phones. It also features thinner bezels than the Galaxy A54. The phone has three rear-facing cameras, featuring a 50MP primary camera and a 12MP ultrawide camera. The phone will most likely feature stereo speakers, an in-display fingerprint reader, and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
