Questions about this item

Will the 256 GB storage on this SM-S942U ever need replacement or can it be expanded?

The 256 GB storage is fixed and not user-expandable; if capacity runs out you would need to offload files to cloud or a computer rather than swap a module.

What limit appears first during sustained heavy use on the 4.74 GHz Oryon cores?

The 4.74 GHz dual-core cluster will hit thermal throttling before the 3.60 GHz hexa-core cluster, reducing peak speeds to manage heat.

How much heat and fan noise does the 6.3 inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X produce when the phone runs all day?

There is no fan; the chassis dissipates heat passively, so the device warms noticeably under load but stays silent.
