Key features.

Performance

Powered by the Snapdragon 750G chipset, it brought low-latency performance and faster download speeds to the mid-range market

Battery

One of its strongest selling points is its longevity. The large battery capacity, paired with a lower-resolution screen and efficient processor, allows the phone to easily last through two days of moderate use

Display

It features a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED "Infinity-U" display. While it only has an HD+ resolution (720p), it maintains the deep blacks and vibrant colours characteristic of Samsung’s AMOLED technology.

Camera System

The rear features a four-lens setup, headlined by a 48MP main sensor. It is accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide lens (123 ∘ field of view), a 5MP macro lens for close-ups, and a 5MP depth sensor for portrait effects.
