Is Note 7 another flagship killer for Apple like S7 and S7 Edge devices? To help you make the right decision here is an early look at how the Galaxy Note 7 compares against the 2014 Galaxy Note 4.
That didn’t stop here.
Samsung sold 17 million units of the Galaxy S7 smartphone in the April-June period.
Other key specifications of the Galaxy Note 7 include the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow operating system, 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM, 64GB of UFS 2.0 storage, a 12-megapixel Dual Pixel rear camera, a 5-megapixel front-facing camera and a huge 3,500 mAh battery. The new flagship also adopted the IP68 water resistant feature, as well as the choice to expand storage via a microSD card.

Galaxy Note 3 Widely credited to kickstart Samsung’s dominance of the smartphone world, the Note 3, launched in September 2013, was meant to have a more premium look with a plastic leather rear and metallic bezel (although not everyone agreed with that when the actual unit came out).
