On OLED each pixel emits its own light, so blacks turn fully off; typical contrast is listed as 2,000,000:1.

Apple
Processor10 cores; 3.2 GHz, 2.9 GHz, 2.6 GHz and 1.95 GHz clusters

Samsung UK does not name the chip; the core layout and clocks belong to the SM-S926B. US models (SM-S926U) using a different chip by region are a separate variant.

Apple
USB-C—USB 3 up to 10 Gb/s; DisplayPort video out up to 4K HDR (with a compatible adapter)
