As I'm in search of a phone to replace my aging Realme with a Snapdragon 855+ chip, I must say that I'm utterly disappointed with the Exynos 1380's performance. It's powering one of this spring's most popular smartphones, the Samsung A54, which is pricier than my phone was when new three years ago, but doesn’t offer any advantages aside from a better camera. Hats off to Qualcomm, I suppose.
