Samsung		—
Display6.2-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X; 1–120 Hz adaptive refresh; Vision Booster

The visible area is about 6.0 inches with rounded corners. The 1–120 Hz range lowers the refresh rate for static content to save battery; Vision Booster adjusts tone mapping to improve readability in sunlight.

Samsung		6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED with ProMotion (adaptive up to 120 Hz); 2532 × 1170 pixels, 460 ppi; HDR, True Tone, wide colour (P3)

ProMotion changes the refresh rate with content: it rises to 120 Hz for scrolling and supported games for smoother motion and drops for static content to save battery. Typical maximum brightness is 1000 nits, with 1200 nits peak for HDR; typical contrast is 2,000,000:1. With the rounded corners the rectangle measures 6.06 inches and the viewable area is slightly less.
