More power to you
When stopping's not an option, Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy — the world's fastest Snapdragon — powers your phone to deliver better gaming and video streaming, with extended battery life to carry you through the most epic of days.
Designed with the planet in mind
Unbox the change you want to see in the world. Crafted with recycled glass and PET film and colored with natural dyes, each phone is tucked into a box made of recycled paper and paper-based protective film.
Now you're a shooting star
When it comes to epic photos, the sky's the limit. Open Expert RAW to capture in hi-res RAW format, delivering bright and detailed shots. Then look to the stars as the camera pulls in light to snap constellations and planets with breathtaking clarity.
Glare be gone
Game or stream anywhere with adaptive outdoor visibility delivering optimal color and brightness, in any light. Adaptive 120Hz smooths the scroll, while Eye Comfort Shield keeps your eyes from getting tired, even as you view in the dark.
Unlock even longer gameplay
Call it a night? Nah. Game on and binge-watch your favorite shows with a long-lasting and fast-charging battery.
Multi control makes multitasking easier
When the ideas are flowing, team up your phone and PC for a 2-for-1 experience. Without switching your mouse, keyboard, or touchpad, you can drag and drop, copy and paste and type on both devices for your most efficient screentime yet.
Your Galaxy, the way you like it
Now it's easier than ever to set your phone up just for you. One UI maximizes customization, allowing you to pick almost every detail, from lock screens and themes to widgets and notifications.
