The display itself continues to work 3.120 x 1.440 Pixeln (QHD+) and has a variable refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hertz. Basically, Samsung promises an increased maximum brightness of up to 40 percent; In addition, thanks to the armor coating, your screen is not only protected, but is also said to have up to 75 percent fewer reflections.
When it comes to the processor, Samsung uses a “For Galaxy” version Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Compared to the regular chip version, this should shine with a higher clock speed and increased NPU performance. This is also necessary in order to be able to supply the AI features that were also presented at the Unpacked event with computing power.
