Display6.7-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X; 1–120 Hz; Vision Booster

Samsung measures the diagonal as a full rectangle; with the rounded corners the visible area is 6.5 inches. The 1–120 Hz range lowers the rate on still images to save battery. Vision Booster adjusts tone and colour in bright light to keep the screen readable.

ProMotion rises to 120 Hz during motion and drops on static images, balancing smoothness and battery; this is what lets the lock screen stay always on. Dynamic Island uses the front-camera cutout as an area for notifications and activities.
