Samsung’s turned quite the corner in terms of making its goods actually look half-decent, and all of the images we’ve seen so far point towards a Note 7 that resembles an oversized Galaxy S7 Edge.

Also set for the Galaxy Note 7 is a powerful Samsung Galaxy Exynos 8893 chipset and 4GB of RAM. Reports claimed that the software firm Egis Technology recently launched new versions of the fingerprint sensors ET320, which will now be implemented in the selected models of Galaxy C7 device.
Samsung officially announced the arrival of its Galaxy Note 7 via Twitter.
Zauba has listed the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 by its model number, SM-G930F on its site and confirms the Note 7 will use the same 12 megapixel rear camera with OIS (optical image stabilization) and autofocus found on the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge.
Some limitations for the Galaxy Note 7 iris scanner include wearing glasses, sun shades, color contact lenses or circular contact lenses. The smartphone features a 5-inch HD (720×1280 pixel) Super Amoled display, backed by a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, 4G LTE connectivity, and a 2600mAh battery.
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 will be unveiled in a series of simultaneous press events across the globe on August 2nd 2016.
There’ll also be a new S Pen, the latest in a line of excellent Note styluses. It carried decent specifications for the price if we are talking only about the devices from Samsung, but the RAM and internal storage seemed too less comparatively. But the company said that compatible hardware would only be released later on down the road, maybe beginning sometime this fall (with new Nexus phones?).
According to serial leaker Evan Blass, who posted a swathe of high resolution product renders earlier this month, the Galaxy Note 7 will ship in either Black Onyx, Silver Titanium or Blue Coral.

It was already revealed that the company would altogether skip the Note 6 moniker and name its new phablet the Note 7. Naturally most of the attention in recent weeks has focused on that new folding form factor device, but now we’re hearing a bit more about the revamp of the Galaxy S7 – next year’s Galaxy S8. Apple’s iPhone flatlined for the first time in 2016 and this is likely down to people simply holding onto their phones for longer.
