Galaxy S Series Screen Resolutions (S21 through S25 Ultra)
The Galaxy S series is Samsung's mainstream flagship line. Starting with the S21 generation, Samsung standardized on Dynamic AMOLED 2X panels with adaptive refresh rates up to 120Hz. The Ultra models offer the highest resolutions (WQHD+), while the base and Plus models use FHD+.
Galaxy S25 Series (2025)
| Model | Screen Size | Resolution | PPI | Display Tech | Refresh Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Galaxy S25 | 6.2" | 2340 x 1080 (FHD+) | 416 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 1-120Hz |
| Galaxy S25+ | 6.7" | 2340 x 1080 (FHD+) | 384 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 1-120Hz |
| Galaxy S25 Ultra | 6.9" | 3120 x 1440 (WQHD+) | 498 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 1-120Hz |
The S25 Ultra is Samsung's first flagship with a 6.9-inch flat display, up from 6.8 inches in the S24 Ultra. It retains the WQHD+ resolution and pushes pixel density close to 500 PPI, which is well beyond the point where individual pixels are visible to the naked eye. The S25 and S25+ stick with FHD+ — perfectly sharp at their screen sizes.
Galaxy S24 Series (2024)
| Model | Screen Size | Resolution | PPI | Display Tech | Refresh Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Galaxy S24 | 6.2" | 2340 x 1080 (FHD+) | 416 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 1-120Hz |
| Galaxy S24+ | 6.7" | 2340 x 1080 (FHD+) | 384 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 1-120Hz |
| Galaxy S24 Ultra | 6.8" | 3120 x 1440 (WQHD+) | 505 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 1-120Hz |
| Galaxy S24 FE | 6.7" | 2340 x 1080 (FHD+) | 384 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 1-120Hz |
The S24 Ultra introduced a flat display to the Ultra line, dropping the curved edges from the S23 Ultra. The S24 FE (Fan Edition) matches the Plus model's screen size and resolution at a lower price, making it a strong mid-range option.
Galaxy S23 Series (2023)
| Model | Screen Size | Resolution | PPI | Display Tech | Refresh Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Galaxy S23 | 6.1" | 2340 x 1080 (FHD+) | 422 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 48-120Hz |
| Galaxy S23+ | 6.6" | 2340 x 1080 (FHD+) | 390 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 48-120Hz |
| Galaxy S23 Ultra | 6.8" | 3088 x 1440 (WQHD+) | 500 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 1-120Hz |
| Galaxy S23 FE | 6.4" | 2340 x 1080 (FHD+) | 403 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 1-120Hz |
Note the difference in adaptive refresh range: the S23 and S23+ drop to 48Hz at minimum, while the Ultra and FE can go all the way down to 1Hz. That 1Hz floor matters for always-on display battery life.
Galaxy S22 Series (2022)
| Model | Screen Size | Resolution | PPI | Display Tech | Refresh Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Galaxy S22 | 6.1" | 2340 x 1080 (FHD+) | 422 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 48-120Hz |
| Galaxy S22+ | 6.6" | 2340 x 1080 (FHD+) | 390 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 48-120Hz |
| Galaxy S22 Ultra | 6.8" | 3088 x 1440 (WQHD+) | 500 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 1-120Hz |
The S22 Ultra was the first S-series phone to integrate the S Pen, effectively merging the Galaxy Note line into the S series. Its display specs matched what the Note 20 Ultra offered but with a faster adaptive refresh rate.
Galaxy S21 Series (2021)
| Model | Screen Size | Resolution | PPI | Display Tech | Refresh Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Galaxy S21 | 6.2" | 2400 x 1080 (FHD+) | 421 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 48-120Hz |
| Galaxy S21+ | 6.7" | 2400 x 1080 (FHD+) | 394 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 48-120Hz |
| Galaxy S21 Ultra | 6.8" | 3200 x 1440 (WQHD+) | 515 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 10-120Hz |
| Galaxy S21 FE | 6.4" | 2340 x 1080 (FHD+) | 401 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 1-120Hz |
The S21 Ultra was the first Galaxy S phone to support WQHD+ and 120Hz simultaneously. Earlier Samsung flagships forced you to choose one or the other — a limitation that frustrated a lot of users. For more on what these resolution numbers actually mean, see our guide on what is screen resolution.
Galaxy A Series Screen Resolutions (Popular Models)
The Galaxy A series is Samsung's mid-range and budget lineup. These phones sell in enormous volumes worldwide and cover a wide price range. Display quality varies significantly — you will find everything from PLS LCD panels at 60Hz to Super AMOLED screens at 120Hz.
Current and Recent Galaxy A Models
| Model | Screen Size | Resolution | PPI | Display Tech | Refresh Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Galaxy A56 | 6.7" | 2340 x 1080 (FHD+) | 384 | Super AMOLED | 120Hz |
| Galaxy A36 | 6.6" | 2340 x 1080 (FHD+) | 390 | Super AMOLED | 120Hz |
| Galaxy A26 | 6.5" | 2340 x 1080 (FHD+) | 396 | Super AMOLED | 120Hz |
| Galaxy A16 | 6.7" | 2340 x 1080 (FHD+) | 384 | Super AMOLED | 90Hz |
| Galaxy A55 | 6.6" | 2340 x 1080 (FHD+) | 390 | Super AMOLED | 120Hz |
| Galaxy A35 | 6.6" | 2340 x 1080 (FHD+) | 390 | Super AMOLED | 120Hz |
| Galaxy A25 | 6.5" | 2340 x 1080 (FHD+) | 396 | Super AMOLED | 120Hz |
| Galaxy A15 | 6.5" | 2340 x 1080 (FHD+) | 396 | Super AMOLED | 90Hz |
| Galaxy A15 (LTE) | 6.5" | 2340 x 1080 (FHD+) | 396 | PLS LCD | 90Hz |
| Galaxy A54 | 6.4" | 2340 x 1080 (FHD+) | 403 | Super AMOLED | 120Hz |
| Galaxy A34 | 6.6" | 2340 x 1080 (FHD+) | 390 | Super AMOLED | 120Hz |
| Galaxy A14 | 6.6" | 2408 x 1080 (FHD+) | 401 | PLS LCD | 90Hz |
| Galaxy A05s | 6.7" | 1600 x 720 (HD+) | 262 | PLS LCD | 60Hz |
A few things stand out here. Almost every Galaxy A phone from the A25 and up now ships with FHD+ resolution and a Super AMOLED panel. Samsung has pushed AMOLED much further down its lineup than it used to. The only models still on LCD or HD+ resolution are the very bottom of the range (A05s, A14, and the LTE version of the A15).
If you are comparing your A-series phone's resolution to what you see on other devices, you can check your current screen resolution using a few different methods.
Galaxy Z Fold Series Screen Resolutions
Samsung's foldable phones have two entirely separate displays — a cover screen for quick tasks and a large inner folding screen for tablet-like use. Both screens have different resolutions, and the inner display uses an unusual aspect ratio.
| Model | Cover Screen Size | Cover Resolution | Cover PPI | Inner Screen Size | Inner Resolution | Inner PPI | Display Tech | Refresh Rate (Both) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Galaxy Z Fold 6 (2024) | 6.3" | 2376 x 968 (HD+) | 410 | 7.6" | 2160 x 1856 (QXGA+) | 374 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 1-120Hz |
| Galaxy Z Fold 5 (2023) | 6.2" | 2316 x 904 (HD+) | 402 | 7.6" | 2176 x 1812 (QXGA+) | 374 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 1-120Hz |
| Galaxy Z Fold 4 (2022) | 6.2" | 2316 x 904 (HD+) | 402 | 7.6" | 2176 x 1812 (QXGA+) | 374 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 1-120Hz |
| Galaxy Z Fold 3 (2021) | 6.2" | 2268 x 832 (HD+) | 387 | 7.6" | 2208 x 1768 (QXGA+) | 374 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 1-120Hz |
The inner display's PPI has stayed consistent at 374 across all Fold generations. That is noticeably lower than a standard flagship phone (which typically sits around 400-500 PPI), but at the viewing distance most people hold a tablet-sized screen, it still looks sharp. The cover screen has gradually gotten wider and taller with each generation, making it more usable without unfolding.
Galaxy Z Flip Series Screen Resolutions
The Z Flip series takes the opposite approach to the Fold: it is a standard-sized phone that folds in half to become more compact. The main display is a tall, narrow FHD+ AMOLED, and the cover screen is a small secondary display that has grown significantly over the generations.
| Model | Cover Screen Size | Cover Resolution | Main Screen Size | Main Resolution | Main PPI | Display Tech | Refresh Rate (Main) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Galaxy Z Flip 6 (2024) | 3.4" | 748 x 720 | 6.7" | 2640 x 1080 (FHD+) | 426 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 1-120Hz |
| Galaxy Z Flip 5 (2023) | 3.4" | 748 x 720 | 6.7" | 2640 x 1080 (FHD+) | 426 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 1-120Hz |
| Galaxy Z Flip 4 (2022) | 1.9" | 512 x 260 | 6.7" | 2640 x 1080 (FHD+) | 426 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 1-120Hz |
| Galaxy Z Flip 3 (2021) | 1.9" | 512 x 260 | 6.7" | 2640 x 1080 (FHD+) | 426 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 1-120Hz |
The main display specs have been remarkably consistent across all Z Flip generations — same size, same resolution, same PPI. The big change came with the Z Flip 5 and 6, which dramatically enlarged the cover screen from 1.9 inches to 3.4 inches, turning it from a notification peek window into a genuinely usable secondary display.
Galaxy Tab Series Screen Resolutions
Samsung's tablet lineup ranges from affordable media consumption tablets to premium productivity machines that rival the iPad Pro. Resolution varies widely across the range.
Galaxy Tab S Series (Premium)
| Model | Screen Size | Resolution | PPI | Display Tech | Refresh Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra | 14.6" | 2960 x 1848 (WQXGA+) | 239 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 1-120Hz |
| Galaxy Tab S10+ | 12.4" | 2800 x 1752 (WQXGA+) | 266 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 1-120Hz |
| Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra | 14.6" | 2960 x 1848 (WQXGA+) | 239 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 1-120Hz |
| Galaxy Tab S9+ | 12.4" | 2800 x 1752 (WQXGA+) | 266 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 1-120Hz |
| Galaxy Tab S9 | 11.0" | 2560 x 1600 (WQXGA) | 274 | Dynamic AMOLED 2X | 1-120Hz |
| Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ | 12.4" | 2560 x 1600 (WQXGA) | 243 | TFT LCD | 90Hz |
| Galaxy Tab S9 FE | 10.9" | 2304 x 1440 (WQXGA) | 249 | TFT LCD | 90Hz |
| Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra | 14.6" | 2960 x 1848 (WQXGA+) | 239 | Super AMOLED | 1-120Hz |
| Galaxy Tab S8+ | 12.4" | 2800 x 1752 (WQXGA+) | 266 | Super AMOLED | 1-120Hz |
| Galaxy Tab S8 | 11.0" | 2560 x 1600 (WQXGA) | 274 | LTPS TFT LCD | 1-120Hz |
The Tab S Ultra models have enormous 14.6-inch screens — larger than most laptops — with WQXGA+ resolution. Despite the high pixel count, PPI is lower than phones because the pixels are spread across a much bigger area. At typical tablet viewing distances, 239 PPI still looks crisp. The FE (Fan Edition) tablets trade AMOLED for LCD and drop the refresh rate to 90Hz to hit a lower price point.
Galaxy Tab A Series (Budget/Mid-Range)
| Model | Screen Size | Resolution | PPI | Display Tech | Refresh Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Galaxy Tab A9+ | 11.0" | 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) | 206 | TFT LCD | 90Hz |
| Galaxy Tab A9 | 8.7" | 1340 x 800 (WXGA+) | 179 | TFT LCD | 60Hz |
| Galaxy Tab A8 | 10.5" | 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) | 216 | TFT LCD | 60Hz |
Budget Galaxy Tab models use LCD panels and lower resolutions. The Tab A9 in particular uses a sub-HD resolution that is noticeable at arm's length — text and UI elements will look softer compared to the Tab S series. If you primarily use a tablet for reading or productivity, the jump to the Tab S9 FE is worth considering for the sharper display.
Samsung's Resolution Switching Feature: HD+, FHD+, and WQHD+
One of Samsung's most useful display features is the ability to switch between resolution modes on supported devices. This is available on Galaxy S Ultra models and select other devices that have WQHD+ native resolution.
Samsung offers three resolution modes:
- HD+ (1600 x 720 or similar): The lowest option. Reduces sharpness significantly but saves battery. Most people will notice the difference, especially with text.
- FHD+ (2340 x 1080 or similar): The default setting on most Samsung phones, including WQHD+ capable devices. A good balance of clarity and battery life.
- WQHD+ (3088 x 1440 or similar): The native resolution on Ultra models. Maximum sharpness, highest power draw. Best appreciated on the Ultra's larger screens.
Samsung ships WQHD+ devices set to FHD+ out of the box. Many users never change it and have no idea their phone can render at a higher resolution. The difference between FHD+ and WQHD+ is subtle on a 6.8-inch screen — you will notice it most with small text, fine UI details, and high-resolution photos — but it is there.
Why Would You Lower Your Resolution?
Battery life is the main reason. Running at HD+ instead of WQHD+ reduces the number of pixels the GPU needs to render by roughly 75%, which saves power during everything from scrolling social media to playing games. If your battery is struggling to last through the day, dropping to FHD+ is one of the easiest optimizations you can make.
Performance is the other factor. Some graphically intensive games run smoother at FHD+ than WQHD+ because the GPU has less work to do. If you play Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, or other demanding mobile games, try dropping to FHD+ and see if frame rates improve.
How to Change Screen Resolution on Samsung Galaxy Phones
If your Samsung phone supports resolution switching (Galaxy S21 Ultra and newer Ultra models), here is how to change it:
- Open Settings.
- Tap Display.
- Tap Screen resolution.
- Choose from HD+, FHD+, or WQHD+.
- Tap Apply.
The screen will briefly go black and then return at the new resolution. All your apps and content will adjust automatically.
If you do not see the "Screen resolution" option in your display settings, your phone only supports a single resolution (most likely FHD+) and cannot be changed.
Adaptive Resolution on Newer Models
Starting with the Galaxy S22 Ultra and continuing through the S25 Ultra, Samsung's adaptive refresh rate works at every resolution level. Earlier models like the Galaxy S20 Ultra forced you to choose between WQHD+ at 60Hz or FHD+ at 120Hz. That limitation is gone — you can now run WQHD+ at a full adaptive 1-120Hz on all current Ultra models.

Samsung Display Technology Explained
You will see several display technology names across Samsung's lineup. Here is what they actually mean:
Dynamic AMOLED 2X is Samsung's top-tier mobile display tech, used in all Galaxy S flagships and Z-series foldables since 2021. It is an OLED panel with adaptive refresh rates up to 120Hz, HDR10+ support, reduced blue light output, and peak brightness levels above 2,000 nits on newer models. The "2X" refers to the 120Hz refresh capability.
Super AMOLED is Samsung's standard OLED technology found in many mid-range phones and older flagships. It offers excellent color reproduction, deep blacks, and good outdoor visibility, but typically lacks the adaptive refresh rate and extreme brightness of Dynamic AMOLED 2X.
PLS LCD (Plane-to-Line Switching LCD) is Samsung's version of IPS LCD, used in budget phones and lower-end tablets. It provides decent viewing angles and acceptable color accuracy but cannot match the contrast and vibrancy of AMOLED panels.
TFT LCD appears in some budget tablets. These are the most basic panels in Samsung's lineup, with narrower viewing angles and lower contrast compared to PLS LCD or AMOLED.
What Resolution Do You Actually Need on a Phone?
On a phone held at normal viewing distance (roughly 10-14 inches from your eyes), here is a practical breakdown:
- HD+ (720p equivalent): Noticeably soft. Fine for basic calls, messaging, and casual use. You will see pixel grids if you look closely at text.
- FHD+ (1080p equivalent): Sharp enough that most people cannot distinguish individual pixels. This is the sweet spot for the vast majority of users.
- WQHD+ (1440p equivalent): Marginally sharper than FHD+ on phone screens. The difference is most visible in small text and detailed images. Primarily a benefit for VR use and pixel-peeping.
Most people will be perfectly happy at FHD+, which is why Samsung defaults to it even on WQHD+ capable devices. If you want to understand more about how resolution and pixel density affect perceived sharpness, read our guide on what is screen resolution.
Conclusion
Samsung's Galaxy lineup covers an enormous range of screen resolutions — from 720p budget phones to WQHD+ flagships running at nearly 500 PPI. The Galaxy S Ultra models sit at the top with WQHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays and adaptive 120Hz refresh rates. The A series has improved dramatically, with FHD+ Super AMOLED panels now standard on models from the A25 and up. The Z Fold and Z Flip foldables each have unique dual-display setups with their own resolution quirks. And the Galaxy Tab range spans everything from basic HD tablets to 14.6-inch AMOLED powerhouses.
