ProcessorSnapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy (3 nm)

Samsung quotes 40% NPU, 37% CPU and 30% GPU gains over the previous generation. This version is tuned for Galaxy with higher clocks than the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite.

Samsung		10 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.

CoolingVapor chamber 40% larger than before; new thermal interface material (TIM)

The vapor chamber spreads heat from the chip into the body, helping clocks hold longer in extended gaming.

Display6.9-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X; 1–120 Hz adaptive refresh; Vision Booster

The viewable area is smaller than the diagonal because of rounded corners and the camera hole. Refresh that drops to 1 Hz saves power on static content; Vision Booster adjusts tone mapping in bright light.

Samsung		6.7-inch (6.5-inch with rounded corners) Dynamic AMOLED 2X; 3120 × 1440 (QHD+); adaptive 1–120 Hz; Vision Booster

QHD+ is sharper than the FHD+ panel of the regular S24. The 1–120 Hz range drops to 1 Hz on static content to save battery and rises to 120 Hz for scrolling. Vision Booster adjusts colour and contrast in sunlight to improve readability.

Samsung
Front coverCorning Gorilla Armor 2 anti-reflective glass ceramic

Used on the front only. Corning says it survived drops of up to 2.2 m onto a concrete-like surface in internal lab tests; this is not a durability guarantee for any given phone.
