The another USP of AMD GPU is variable rate shading that improves GPU work loads by not degrading graphics performance in graphics heavy app or games user experience with smoother graphics than other SoCs. And there is one more enhancement, AMIGO by Exynos that enhances performance and consumes less power for graphics processing.  

Apart from console quality Xclipse 920 GPU, Exynos 2200 is upgrading 5G connectivity to more secure and reliable. The 5G is feature-pack with new technology like E-UTRAN and EN-DC dual connectivity that boosts 4G LTE and %G NR to speed upto 10 Gbps. The 5G is also enabling faster 3GPP 16 release and new mm-wave for reliable and faster connectivity than competitors.
