This very much finite Infinity display is what makes the headlines, but it’s not without a consequence. The Home button is history - in its place an onscreen navigation bar, the fingerprint sensor relocated, the pressing sensation emulated(sort of) by haptic flutter.
The screen aside, there’s the habitual bump in processing power, courtesy of a brand new 10nm chip - be it Samsung’s own Exynos, or Qualcomm’s Snapdragon(still manufactured by Samsung). RAM has stood still at 4GB(though certain regions may get a 6GB version), and an 8MP autofocus front-facing camera replaces the 5MP fixed-focus shooters that were around for far too long on the company’s flagships.
