Partly folded useFlex Mode not supported Samsung—
Cooling—Vapor chamber 40% larger than before; new thermal interface material (TIM)

The vapor chamber spreads heat from the chip into the body, helping clocks hold longer in extended gaming.

Samsung
Display—6.9-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X; 1–120 Hz adaptive refresh; Vision Booster

The viewable area is smaller than the diagonal because of rounded corners and the camera hole. Refresh that drops to 1 Hz saves power on static content; Vision Booster adjusts tone mapping in bright light.

Samsung
Front cover—Corning Gorilla Armor 2 anti-reflective glass ceramic

Used on the front only. Corning says it survived drops of up to 2.2 m onto a concrete-like surface in internal lab tests; this is not a durability guarantee for any given phone.

Samsung
Frame—Titanium

Titanium is used only on the frame, excluding the volume and side keys.

Samsung
Rear cameras—200 MP wide f/1.7 OIS (85°); 50 MP ultra-wide f/1.9 (120°); 50 MP 5× telephoto f/3.4 OIS (22°); 10 MP 3× telephoto f/2.4 OIS (36°)

Per Samsung, 3× and 5× are optical; 2× and 10× are “optical quality” zoom made by sensor cropping. OIS is optical image stabilisation.

Samsung
Front camera—12 MP f/2.2 (80°) Samsung
Video—10-bit HDR recording by default; Galaxy Log

Log records a flat profile for colour grading; results depend on the editing workflow. Audio Eraser can reduce layers such as voices, music, wind and crowd separately in videos.
