On the front, it will feature a premium AMOLED display measuring 6.7 inches with Quad-HD+ resolution, curved edges, and a hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera. This display will also support LTPO for adaptive refresh rates ranging from 1-120Hz. The overall dimensions of the device will be 163.18 x 74.64 x 9.57 mm.
