Samsung introduced its large-screen Note series in 2011 and people were skeptical of its relatively large size at the time, David Lowes, the company’s chief marketing officer in Europe, said in an interview.

All eyes are on whether the phone, which is pitched halfway between a phone and a tablet PC, will allow Samsung to maintain the sales momentum created by the hit Galaxy S7 unveiled earlier this year and outsell the new iPhone that comes out next month.
The Galaxy Note 7 measures 153.5mm x 73.9mm x 7.9mm, while the iPhone 6S Plus measures 158.2mm x 77.9mm x 7.3mm.
Galaxy Note7 comes with a 12 Megapixel f1. So the design at best seemed like an after thought.
Pre-orders for the Note 7 begin Wednesday. Now, it won’t get stuck even if you jam it in backwards. Also, look out for the stunning “Coral Blue” variant.
Highlights of the new Note7 include its 5.7-inch dual-edge quad HD screen. The smartphone comes with dual edged screen.
So how much is all this tech going to set you back?
The Note 7 borrows the Edge’s sublime curved screen, and the QHD Super AMOLED display offers the same stunning vibrancy with plenty of popping colour. Game Pack is available in Google Play Store. Its screen is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 4. The device is also IP68 water and dust resistant which means that the device can be submerged in 5-feet of water for up to 30 minutes. These included writing on a wet display, translating words by hovering over them, and also taking notes without switching on the display. In a nutshell, HDR video captures more details in the darker and brighter portions of a scene. “The S7 Edge is both bigger and more distinctive, both of which likely appealed to at least some users and helped it win out”. So no, its not a gimmick anymore.
Samsung Galaxy Note7 comes in both Snapdragon 820 and Exynos 8890. Still, then Note 5 upgraders will see a huge speed bump. Although those upgrading from a Galaxy S7 will not see much of difference.
The Note 7 also expands on a feature to give sensitive files an additional layer of security.
While I have a feeling the iris scanner is a bit of a gimmick, if you’re after the best phablet experience or happen to be a creative doodler/note jotter, this appears to be the phone for you.
The iris scanner joins the familiar fingerprint scanner and lets users unlock phones with eyes. However, owing to Android limitations, Samsung had to provide both iris and fingerprint scanners. It’s also available in blue-black color and is compatible with the Galaxy Note7, S7, S7 edge, Note5, S6, S6 edge, S6 edge+. This phone is likely to be upgraded to the latest Android Nougat 7.0 the moment it releases. You can choose the length and even edit them and share them on the fly. But what really stood out with the S7 series was the camera: The 12MP rear camera touts a low-light performance that is ahead of rivals, including Apple. It will have curved edges – a well-liked feature limited to a special “Edge” model before. So it is an improvement over the older unit on the Note 5.
The Un-carrier has a special offer for those who will place their orders for the Note 7.
