• 📱 The cover screen is now a more usable 6.5 inches with Dynamic AMOLED 120Hz and 2600 nits brightness.
• ✨ The main 8-inch display boasts a minimal, almost invisible crease thanks to a new titanium hinge and a proper inner screen camera, replacing the under-display camera based on customer feedback.
• ⚡ Powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, it offers incredible performance, efficiency, and gaming capabilities, with 12GB or 16GB RAM options.
