The rest is identical. The device still comes with a 6.4-inch AMOLED screen, 2.3GHz 10nm Exynos 9611 octa-core processor, up to 6GB RAM, up to 128GB expandable storage, 6,000mAh battery, and a 20MP selfie camera.

The fingerprint scanner is still located at the back which means that it is using an older type of AMOLED panel with no In-Display fingerprint scanner support.
