The Exynos 1080 marks the first time Samsung has built their chipset using 5nm EUV FinFET technology. The chip also comes with an integrated 5G modem.
Samsung has built this chip with an octa-core CPU with a triple cluster design. The housing encases four Cortex-A78 cores and four Cortex-A55’s. The fastest of the A-78’s runs at 2.8 GHz, the cluster of the remaining three reaches 2.6 GHz, while the A55 quartet runs on a 2.0 GHz clock. The GPU is the Mali-G78 MP10.

Photos taken on an Exynos 1080-equipped phone can be up to 200 megapixels in resolution with a single camera and 32MP + 32MP with a dual camera setup. Videos can go up to 4K resolution at 60 frames per second.
The Exynos 1080 will also come with support for the latest RAM standards; the LPDDR4x and the LPDDR5 as well as support for UFS 3.1 storage. It can also support WQHD+ displays of up to 90 Hz refresh rate and Full HD+ panels at up to 144 Hz refresh rate.
