The phone comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal memory. Samsung also offers you Android 10 via its One UI 2.1 operating system. You also get some neat tricks thanks to ‘Flex Mode’, which helps you split the content you view across the top and bottom half of your display.

You can shoot 4K videos with the rear camera. Additionally, there is a 10MP camera on the cover as well. Both back and front cameras can shoot 4K videos at 60 and 30fps respectively.
