Considering the 1280 has that wifi-calling/VoLTE security flaw, does the 1380 has it as well?

Seems like Exynos 1380 is much better than Exynos 1280. Performance is quite close to Snapdragon 778G. If you want great photography and good decent gaming maybe Galaxy A54 is recommended than Galaxy A53. Those who have Galaxy A52s, use 1 more year unless if you want more software support 4 years OS updates and 5 years security updates.

1280 cannot play 4K video, just try 4K YouTube video, the resolution option only shows 1080p max. If you try to play H.265 4K from SD card or network storage it will stutter, lag and shows lots of artifacts. I wonder if 1380 will have the same problem.

So 1380 is comparable to an 855 not too shabby if only the a53 had that instead of 1280 performance.
