GoSolo Read / what it means6 takeaways
display
6.9-inch 1440p, 120Hz AMOLEDThe 1440x3088 resolution at 494 ppi and 120Hz refresh keep text sharp and scrolling smooth, though the tall 6.9-inch screen demands two hands for most reach.
performance
Exynos 990, 12GB RAM, 2020 chipThis octa-core processor with Mali-G77 GPU handles everyday apps and mid-range games at high settings, but lags current flagships by a generation in raw speed.
battery
4500 mAh, about 1 day moderate useExpect roughly 16 to 18 hours of mixed use (browsing, calls, social media) before needing a charge, less if you max the 120Hz display or game heavily.
storage
256GB, microSD slot up to 1TBThe 256GB internal storage covers apps and photos for most users, and the microSD slot lets you add up to 1TB extra for media libraries or backups.
durability
IP68, Gorilla Glass VictusIP68 rating means it survives up to 1.5 meters in fresh water for 30 minutes, and Gorilla Glass Victus resists scratches better than the previous generation.
connectivity
5G (sub-6), LTE bands, eSIM supportThe phone connects to 5G networks on both FDD and TDD bands (sub-6 GHz only, no mmWave), plus a wide range of LTE fallback bands for global travel.
