The Snapdragon 888 is one of the most iconic and best Chipsets a phone can possess. The Exynos 1380 is a mediocre chipset that is used in Phones like the Samsung A54 etc. The Snapdragon 888 is a flagship processor while the Exynos 1380 is a mid-end chipset, you cannot compare the two.

Let's not forget there's a 2-year difference between the two. You often see recent Mid-range SoCs getting really close to old(er) Flagships or even surpass them in certain areas.
