Just a couple components separate this phone from emptiness:

First, a square-ish vibration motor! For as long as we can remember, Samsung has employed the same circular LRA motor for all its phones' buzzers.

This new, larger motor may be the first sign that Samsung is finally taking haptic feedback seriously.

Or, hear us out—maybe they just needed something to take up a little more room where the headphone jack once was.

Finally, we pull out the new vapor chamber—no doubt the product of countless hours of engineering, since this phone is essentially a space heater with a battery. 5G tech and reverse-wireless charging don't come cheap in the cooling department.
