We've got a larger 5000mAh battery and faster 45W wired charging to boot.

TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics, said: "The greatest innovations are a reflection of their users, which is why we evolved Galaxy AI to help everyone interact with their devices more naturally and effortlessly while trusting that their privacy is secured.
