The device features a 6.7-inch HD+ display with an 8MP front camera housed in a notch. It runs on the MediaTek Helio G85 processor with 4GB RAM and 64 GB storage.
It is based on Android 14 with One UI Core 6.0, and Samsung has committed to providing 2 major OS updates and 4 years of security updates for the phone. It is equipped with a 50MP rear camera, a 2MP depth sensor, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and a 5000mAh battery that supports 25W fast charging, though no charger is included in the box.
