Correct. The Exynos 1280 is a decent 5nm chip. It's just extremely new and I think only the Samsung Galaxy A53 is using it right now. Give it a little more time for developers to optimize it.

It shouldn't be used for the A53. The chip is more of a true mid-range, if not lower, while the A53 is positioned as an upper mid-range. The A33 is fine.

Faraz, The improvement has been tremendous. In video reviews, there's really no comparison between the A53/A33 Exynos at launch and the A25 or M34.
