On the front, we have the gorgeous Super AMOLED display punching us in the face and I am personally a huge fan of the Super AMOLED display, so I absolutely love it. Yes, there are purists who will argue that the colors are not natural, but they cant deny the fact that these very pleasant. Below the display, there is the new Samsung physical key arrangement that is constituted by a physical home button with Fingerprint scanner on it and it is flanked by capacitive touch keys on either side.
