On September 4, it was reported that today, Samsung officially launched its first integrated 5G baseband SoC, namely the Exynos 980. This name will make people think it is a flagship SoC, but it is not. The Exynos 980 CPU is composed of two 2.2 GHz Cortex-A77 and six 1.8 GHz Cortex-A55 cores, while the Exynos 9820 has a high frequency of 2.73 GHz. The GPU of Exynos 980 is Mali-G76 MP5, and the whole platform adopts FinFET process.

Exynos 980 supports a screen with a resolution of up to 3360 x 1440, uses a 2.55 Gbps DL and 1.28 Gbps UL 5G NR modem, and is compatible with 2G, 3G, and 4G networks. 4G LTE supports up to Cat.16 5CA downlink at a rate of 1 Gbps, while the uplink is Cat.18 2CA at a maximum rate of 200 Mbp. Exynos 980 supports UFS 2.1 and eMMC 5.1 storage, and only supports LPDDR4x RAM.

In terms of cameras, Exynos 980 supports a single camera with up to 108 million pixels, or a dual camera with 20 million pixels, and supports 120 fps video capture with 4K resolution. Of course, this is a theoretical value, which mainly depends on whether mobile phone manufacturers can actually apply it to products.

Samsung expects that the Exynos 980 will start mass production at the end of this year, which means that the phones equipped with the SoC will be launched as early as the first quarter of 2020.
