One of the reasons for the strong sales, according to the Korea Herald, is that Samsung marketed the Note 7 aggressively. Using the Iris scanner, not only will you be able to unlock the phone but will also be able to authorise NFC payments. This behemoth gets Corning Gorilla Glass 5 for added protection to the curves. Samsung replied by stating that they “stand behind” the Galaxy S7 Active’s IP68 certificate, but more recently the company backtracked and confirmed that, indeed, some Samsung Galaxy S7 Active units are faulty and their water resistance is compromised. Given that Samsung has not offered this variant to buyers in the United Kingdom, we will be able to buy only the 4GB RAM one with 64GB of standard storage. The same 64GB unit of the Nexus 6P is now valued at $399 while a 64GB variant of the Apple iPhone 6S Plus costs a whopping $899 on Amazon, but none of these two have room for microSD card expansion. The specs, the design, the features that are going to convince droves of us that this is the next phone we should be buying? The phone has a Type-C USB charging port, making it the first in the Galaxy series to ditch the micro-USB port. On the connectivity front, you get Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, dual-SIM card slots and 4G LTE. The new stylus can detect 4,096 levels of pressure along with latency of less than 50 milliseconds. Samsung has also improved the S-Pen slot to ensure it is housed properly within the smartphone. It also comes with ANT+ support that means with the additional sensors installed in the system you can be updated about your health and fitness monitoring.

Most likely, Note 7 has major improvements in comparison to the iPhone 7, offering better specs than the Apple device. While we aren’t sure of the pre-order numbers in the United Kingdom, what we know is that those who pre-order the Galaxy Note 7 before the end of the month will get a brand new Gear VR headset for free.
