Samsung SM-N986U1
Powered by the Snapdragon 865+ chip, this device delivers flagship-tier performance in a compact 204g build, with the S Pen offering precise input that few phones can match. Its 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED display provides a 120Hz refresh rate and 1600 nits peak brightness, making it a standout for media consumption even among newer devices. This is best for note-takers and multitaskers who prioritize stylus functionality and a large, vibrant screen over having the latest camera system.
