Today, Samsung Semiconductor has announced the latest Exynos Modem 5300. The new 5G modem announced by Samsung is capable of both Sub-6GHz and mmWave 5G, delivering the best of both worlds. Based on the specs alone, it is safe to say that the modem will be competing with Qualcomm's Snapdragon X75 modem, which was announced earlier this year with similar specs across the board.

The latest Samsung Exynos Modem 5300 should provide better battery life, the Google Pixel 8 could be the first smartphone to feature this modem

The newly announced Exynos Modem 5300 will offer blazing-fast speeds of up to 10Gbps for download and 3.87Gbps speeds for upload. The modem will also support standalone (SA) or non-standalone (NSA) 5G networks. In addition, the modem also supports FR1, FR2, and EN-DC technology to ensure the best possible experience you can get from your smartphone's internet.

It goes without saying, but the Exynos Modem 5300 also has the full support of cross-generation network connectivity, allowing you to use 2G and all the way up to 5G as long as you have the supported handset and you are in coverage where connectivity is offered.

Samsung has worked hard developing the Exynos Modem 5300 as the company claims that the latest modem is excellent for power efficiency. The modem is fabricated using a 4nm EUV process. The company claims that the manufacturing process will ensure that the modem has better power efficiency, which should theoretically result in an improved battery life of the phone powered by this modem.

Another thing that Samsung has revealed about the latest Exynos Modem 5300 is that the modem is designed in such a way that it can easily be connected to several devices or chipsets, all thanks to the PCIe interface that it supports. It also supports the latest 3GPP 5G NR Release 16 standard. The company has also mentioned that the entire chipset comprises the modem, supply modulator, clock buffer, phase array, PMIC, and antenna module to ensure that the connectivity between devices is appropriately managed and the device's battery power is also improved.

Sadly, Samsung has not confirmed which phones or devices will be powered by the latest Exynos Modem 5300. However, it could power the upcoming Tensor G3 chipset that should be found in the Pixel 8 series, especially considering how that chipset is supposed to be built on an unreleased Exynos 2300 chipset.

In the meantime, if you want more information on the modem, you can get all the information about it from Samsung's official press release.
