The worldwide release is anticipated especially in Europe where no Note found its way until earlier this year. While the pre-orders of this new device is about to begin in the USA, T-Mobile is apparently gearing up for a significant price cut aimed at the top-selling Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge and Galaxy Note 5.

We have seen plenty of leaks and rumours in the past, but surprisingly, Samsung did manage to keep a few secrets. The device is the newest member of the Note series and is loaded with a variety of new features such as the Iris Scanner. The Note7’s note-taking functions have been bundled together into a single application that opens when the pen is removed.
Just like what the rumors and speculations claimed, the Galaxy Note 7 debuted with an advanced biometric feature that scans the eyes of the user to unlock the phone.
As an official sponsor of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Samsung is set to launch a large-scale marketing blitz with the new Galaxy Note.
With its 5.7-inch, Quad HD screen, the Galaxy Note 7 is bigger than the 5.5-inch Galaxy S7 Edge, but not by much. You get a design that is a look-alike of the Galaxy S7 Edge, but as usual, the S Pen stylus is there to bring out the Note’s uniqueness.
It is also compatible with Samsung’s Gear 360 camera which allows users to capture, edit and share 360° images and videos. The smartphone was launched with other devices but the Galaxy Note 7 was clearly the most intriguing. This is the wonder of technology that stares back at you in the Samsung Galaxy Note 7! It will be used to secure Samsung Pay, Knox and some personal files as well. The Galaxy Note 7 supports LTE Cat 9 speeds, and is the first Samsung smartphone with a USB Type-C connection in place of microUSB. The device has 64GB of internal storage and the battery has been increased to 3,500 mAh capacity (Note 5 has 3,000 mAh battery). The new device is based on an octa-core 64 bit processor, with 4 GB RAM, and will run with Android 6.0.1.

The Note 7 comes with a better camera – but it’s the same one that the smaller Galaxy S7 phones got in March, save for interface enhancements to access settings and switch between the front and rear cameras more easily.
