The screen features Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection, while the back panel and sides are made of plastic. Both models share a plastic back design but differ in finish: the LTE model sports a glossy finish,[8] whereas the 5G model features a matte finish.[9]

The smartphone's design closely resembles the Galaxy A33 5G.

Below are the USB-C connector, speaker, microphone and 3.5 mm audio jack. The second microphone is located on top. Depending on the version, there is a slot for 1 SIM card and a microSD memory card up to 1 TB or a slot for 2 SIM cards and a microSD memory card up to 1 TB. On the right are the volume buttons and the smartphone lock button, which has a built-in fingerprint scanner.
