The outer display measures 5.4 inches and has nearly the same aspect ratio as the inner display, ensuring content fills the screen whether the device is open or closed.
Both displays support a peak brightness of up to 3,000 nits and ProMotion at up to 120 Hz, allowing you to enjoy videos comfortably even outdoors.
The 48MP Dual Fusion camera system lets you take photos that make the most of the foldable design
