Prominent Samsung leaker Evan Blass posted on his Twitter account leaked images of what the Galaxy Note 7 would look like. Samsung’s new device will be called the Note 7, after the company confirmed it with naming the upcoming event “7 Unpacked”. It says that “with added functionality of the S Pen and large screen, the Galaxy Note7 is a powerful instrument for achievement and self-expression”, but that could easily be said about previous Note incarnations. Unlike its predecessor, the new SoC will give the Galaxy Note 7 a maximum clock speed of 2.4GHz, unless Samsung decides to cap it to a lower speed. If the rumors are to be believed, Samsung Galaxy Note 7 will be available in Black Onyx, Silver Titanium, and Blue Coral color variants. There are a couple reasons why.
