The South
Korean tech giant, Samsung, might unveil its new Galaxy Note 7 in Q3 2016.
Previously, there were rumors that the manufacturer would release Galaxy Note 6
in August. However, latest news from reputable tipster Evan Blass suggest that
the upcoming phablet would be called Galaxy Note 7 as opposed to Galaxy Note 6.
Now, the latest rumor
claims the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 could come equipped with a dual-camera setup
at the back. It is also being rumored that the Galaxy Note 7 will be available
as an ‘edge’ variant.
Citing
sources at Samsung Electro-Mechanics (Semco), China’s Zolreports that Samsung has already started working on the dual-camera module,
which is likely to debut on the next generation Galaxy Note phablet. Though,
details about the working of duo-cameras are scarce at the moment. Samsung is
not the only one to explore the dual-cameras technology. Companies such as HTC,
LG, Huawei and QiKU have also tried with dual-camera setup. That’s not
all; if recent leaks are to be believed, Apple is all set to add dual-camera
support to the upcoming iPhone 7 Plus.
Dual-camera
setup is supposed to help the smartphones combine two images to deliver better
and more detailed images. It is worth pointing out here that Samsung has included
a Dual Pixel technology in its current Galaxy S7 smartphones. Samsung claims
the technology helps deliver DSLR-quality low-light images along with other
improved smartphone photography features. It will be interesting to see how
Samsung will implement the Dual Pixel technology in a dual-camera setup.
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 edge
specifications and features:
The
Galaxy Note 7 will also feature a 5.8-inch Super AMOLED 2K display with 2560 x 1440 resolution. This display does not come as a surprise since Samsung already
incorporated the always-on display technology in Galaxy S7. The device might
also sport the Corning Gorilla Glass 4.
The same
publication revealed that the Note 7 would be available in two models running
on the Exynos 8890 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 823 SoC. Furthermore, the phablet
will come with 256 GB internal storage capacity and 6 GB of RAM to enhance its
performance. Evidently, Samsung has configured the hardware to give superb
performance.
Other
expected features include 12-megapixel duo-pixel rear camera with PDAF, IP68
certification for water and dust resistance, iris scanner and fingerprint
scanner for biometric authentication. It is likely to come with a 4,000mAh
battery, USB Type-C port and Android N out-of-the-box. The Galaxy Note 7 edge
is most likely to be launched August this year.
