Samsung just announced its Galaxy Note 7, the successor to its Note 5 series (yes, it skipped on “Note 6” altogether).

With a Note 7, users will be able to take clips from YouTube or their own videos to create shareable GIFs without downloading extra software. The Galaxy Note 7 with its 5.7-inch Quad HD resolution display, is expected to boost its customer base in the Taiwanese market since the new gadget is equipped with more advanced specifications which are expected to attract buying interest.
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is already available for pre-order on most major U.S. mobile carriers starting today. According to LowYat.Net, Samsung has also indicated that those who pre-order can expect a few extra goodies though the site was unable to provide specific details. Going by the leaked information, Samsung’s Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge and the Galaxy Note 5 will get $200 off.
The Galaxy Note 7, available in Gold Platinum, Silver Titanium and Black Onyx, will arrive on Malaysian shores starting 19th August 2016 and will retail at RM3,199.
Note 7 users also get a free 15GB of space in Samsung Cloud, which lets you back things up between (Samsung) devices. Perhaps the S-Pen’s standout feature, however, is the ability to translate a word on the smartphone’s screen simply by tapping it.
In combination with the Note 7, Samsung also unveiled a slightly updated version of its Gear VR virtual reality headset.
The Dual-Pixel technology with optical image stabilisation gives Galaxy Note 7 to quickly focus on the image and even to click some stunning sharp pictures in the low light. That’s despite the fact that the new Note S7 comes with a USB-C type of connector, whereas previous Samsung phones used micro USB plugs.
The S pen has been upgraded and you can expect at least better water resistance and much more improved pressure sensitivity, too. That means you can write underwater.
Memory on the Note 7 is quite impressive since it’ll be external and fits a 256GB microSD, and that’s not including the built-in 64GB of storage.

Its Galaxy Note 1 device in 2011 signalled the start of big-screen smartphones in mainstream mobile usage, helping to coin the phrase “phablet” (half-phone, half-tablet).
