The dual-SIM design supports one eSIM and one Nano SIM for flexible connectivity. It is aimed at users who want a premium Android flagship without carrier restrictions.

6.9in Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 120Hz display

The 6.9-inch screen delivers a 1440 x 3120 pixel resolution at a 19.5:9 aspect ratio and roughly 500ppi density. LTPO technology enables a variable refresh rate up to 120Hz for smooth motion and power efficiency. An integrated privacy mode can narrow viewing angles on demand to hide on-screen content from bystanders. Corning Gorilla Armor 2 glass provides scratch resistance at Mohs level 6.

IP68 water resistance and 5000mAh battery

The handset carries an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance under defined conditions. A 5000mAh Li-Ion cell powers the device and supports Super Fast Charging 3.0 for rapid replenishment. An ultrasonic fingerprint sensor sits under the display for secure unlocking. Samsung DeX and Wireless DeX extend the experience to desktop-style workflows when needed.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 256 GB version or wait for the 1 TB option?

The 256 GB model ships with 12 GB of RAM. A 1 TB version with 16 GB RAM is also mentioned, so pick 256 GB if that capacity covers your apps and media, or the larger option if you need more local storage.

What does the 6.9 inch 120 Hz Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X display deliver in daily use?

The 6.9 inch panel runs at 1440 x 3120 pixels with a 19.5:9 ratio and roughly 500 ppi. LTPO lets the refresh rate scale up to 120 Hz for smooth scrolling and drop lower to save power when the screen is static.

How fast does Super Fast Charging 3.0 actually fill the 5000 mAh battery?

Super Fast Charging 3.0 is the supported wired standard. It is designed to recharge the 5000 mAh cell at high speed while protecting long-term battery health, though exact minutes depend on the charger and cable used.
