Analyst Comment
Samsung’s press release said that the USB connector is USB Type-B, although third party sources say it is Type-C. We couldn’t get definitive confirmation at press time.
A year or two ago, this kind of mid-range smartphone would have used an LCD, but Samsung has pushed AMOLED further down the range. (BR)
