South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics Co Ltd expects sales for its new Galaxy Note 7 smartphone to exceed those of the previous version launched a year ago, the head of the company’s mobile business said. However, Apple’s forthcoming iPhone 7 is poised to rival Galaxy Note 7’s cutting-edge features. Unlike the S7, however, owners can control the handset’s screen in wet conditions with the bundled S-Pen stylus, which also ships with IP68 certification. The device also comes with a Secure Folder for storing classified documents and apps, accessible only by fingerprint or iris scanning. A United States version will feature a Snapdragon 820 process while the rest of the world will get the Exynos chipset. The Galaxy Note 4 has a 16MP snapper on the back and a 3.7MP selfie sensor, all of which are nowhere near the 12MP primary and 5MP secondary cameras on the Galaxy Note 7.
Note 7 is smaller than the Note 5, despite having a 5.7-inch screen size.
