Up to 10 Gbps in a smartphone. Samsung Exynos Modem 5300 introduced
Samsung has unveiled the next-generation Exynos Modem 5300 5G modem. Usually, the South Korean firm’s latest cellular modems will debut inside the latest Exynos single-chip systems, but since the company did not release its flagship Exynos processor in 2023, the Exynos Modem 5300 is expected to be used in the Google Tensor SoC the next generation, which should appear in the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.
The Exynos Modem 5300 5G is manufactured by Samsung Foundry using a 4nm EUV process, which is a significant improvement over the Exynos Modem 5123’s 7nm process. This makes the Exynos Modem 5300 much more power efficient than previous generation modems.
This new telecom chip delivers peak download speeds of up to 10Gbps at ultra-low latency with support for FR1, FR2 and EN-DC (E-UTRAN New Radio – Dual Connectivity) technologies. Declared a maximum data transfer rate of up to 3.87 Gb / s. The modem supports fifth generation cellular networks in the ranges up to 6 GHz (Sub-6GHz) and millimeter wave (mmWave) in SA and NSA modes.
It is compatible with the 3GPP 5G NR Release 16 standard, which aims to make 5G networks much faster and more efficient. In LTE mode, the Exynos Modem 5300 supports peak download speeds up to 3Gbps and peak upload speeds up to 422Mbps. It can be connected to the smartphone’s chipset via a PCIe connection.
On paper, the Exynos Modem 5300, developed by Samsung’s System LSI division, is similar to the Qualcomm Snapdragon X70 modem, which is also capable of up to 10 Gb/s download speeds and up to 3.5 Gb/s data transfer speeds on compatible 5G networks. However, Samsung has not revealed whether its new 5G modem supports Dual-SIM Dual-Active.

Still cheaper than any other similar smartphone, but not so revolutionary. Motorola Razr and Razr Plus will be more expensive in the global market than in China
Motorola yesterday introduced foldable smartphones Moto Razr 40 and Moto Razr 40 Ultra, which turned out to be cheaper than all competitors, and the younger model even offers a revolutionary price for this segment at $560. However, these are Chinese prices, and in the global market everything is different, since new items are significantly more expensive there.
To start with, the Moto Razr 40 is called the Razr in the global market, and the Moto Razr 40 Ultra is called the Razr Plus.
In the US, apparently, only the latter will be sold at a price of $1,000. In Europe, they will already ask for 1200 euros for it. The base model Razr will be available in select countries in Europe, Latin America, and Asia, but pricing has not yet been announced. It is expected that it will be around 700-800 euros. It’s still cheaper than other similar smartphones, but not as revolutionary as $560.
