The 6.7-inch Foldable Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with 1080 x 2640 pixels resolution features similar adaptive refresh rate as the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra with refresh rate ranging from as low as 1Hz to up to 120Hz depending on your current view.
The adaptive refresh rate promises improved battery performance by using just about the right refresh rate required for the optimal viewing experience. You also get HDR10+ and up to 1200 nits brightness for a great viewing experience.
The front of the Samsung phone is covered in transparent plastic to accommodate the folding. You also get armored aluminium frames with the back covered in Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+. The hinge is covered in the same tough aluminium.
The smartphone is available in numerous colors including Bora Purple, Graphite, Pink Gold, Blue, Yellow, White, Navy, Khaki, and Red.
You get two rings for the two rear cameras with the 1.9-inch Super AMOLED cover display, which comes handy for notifications. The cover display can also be used to take selfies with the rear cameras for a better result. It retains the same 260 x 512 pixels resolution as the Flip3. It is covered in the same Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ as the rest of the back.

The tough aluminium frame and hinge as well as the Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ makes the device durable.
