The device is said to feature a 6.59-inch flat AMOLED panel, matching the size of its predecessor, but with a refresh rate upgrade to 144Hz from 120Hz on the V70.
This could enable smoother 144fps gameplay in supported titles.
Under the hood, the V80 is expected to retain the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset used in the last two generations.
