Samsung Galaxy Note 7 features
Iris scanner: Along with the lock pattern, password and fingerprint scanner, which is embedded within the home button, the Galaxy Note7 will also include Iris scanner for biometric authentication. French publication Nowhereelse has shared some photos, which not only confirms the presence of iris scanner, but also shows off how to set up the authentication feature. Samsung has already launched a business focused tablet in India called “Galaxy Tab IRIS” which brings the iris scanner technology for authentication.
To begin with, users will have to provide an alternative method (pattern lock) to unlock the phablet. During the first setup, users will have to place the phablet at a length of 25-35 cm away from their face, and of course, the screen facing towards them. For the proper iris recognition, users will have to point their eyes towards the two circles on the display. While iris scanner feature is a welcome feature for added level of security, it remains to be seen if it will also allow for Google Play Store purchase and third-party app support like fingerprint sensors.
Waterproofing: Similar to the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, the Galaxy Note7 is also expected to sport IP68 certification for water and dust resistance. The certification means that the phablet can be submerged in up to 1.5meter water for up to 30 minutes.
Improved S Pen functions: The S Pen stylus is also rumored to come with a slightly improved design. The Galaxy Note 5 had an issue, where inserting the S Pen incorrectly could jam the stylus inside. To ensure that doesn’t happen, Samsung could also redesign the slot on the Galaxy Note7.
Speaking to Korea Herald, Samsung Mobile’s President, Koh Dong-jin confirmed that the new Note phablet will come with improved S Pen functions. ”We have improved ‘note’ functions this time, upgrading software for user convenience. We should compete with our own competitiveness. The most important thing is finding our own way that is well accepted by customers,” he said.
Operating System: Earlier rumors pointed that the Galaxy Note7 could be launched sometime in July and run Android Nougat out-of-the-box. However, considering that Android Nougat is still in developer beta phase, the Galaxy Note7 may run Android Marshmallow, and will later be updated to Android N. One of the Galaxy Note7 variants was recently spotted running unreleased Android 6.1 version. Now, it could be an incremental version with bug fixes or thin chances are such where Google may name Android Nougat version as 6.1.
Like always, the Galaxy Note7 will run on a layer of TouchWiz UI above Android OS. Recently, a revamped version of TouchWiz UI video surfaced online, offering a glimpse at it. From what we can see, the interface looks simpler, cleaner and visually appealing. The quick toggle buttons have become flatter, settings menu has new icons and single tab to access and change settings. You could also add blur effects to widgets to increase or decrease the opacity based on your needs.
Samsung Galaxy Note7 specifications
Display: Based on the recently leaked photos that we’ve come across, Samsung will continue with the metal frame and glass display. As rumored, the leaked photos also show off dual-edge curved display on the front. Some rumors also suggest that a Galaxy Note7 variant with flat display may also be there. From what we’ve come across, it could feature a Super AMOLED QHD display between 5.7-inches and 6-inches in size.
Processor and RAM: Now, here’s a bit of confusion. Earlier rumors pointed to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 823 chipset with 6GB of RAM. However, according to the data logged in the recent benchmark listings, all the alleged Galaxy Note7 variants were spotted running on 4GB of RAM. While 4GB of RAM is more than enough, it remains to be seen if the final Galaxy Note7 comes with 4GB or 6GB of RAM.
On the processor front, while some devices were powered by Snapdragon 820 chipset, a couple of them ran on Samsung’s homebrew Exynos 8893 chipset, which is expected to be slightly upgraded version of Exynos 8890 that powers the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge. Recently, Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon 821 chipset, which comes with a slightly overclocked processor and minor improvements. There are chances wherein, the Galaxy Note7 could ultimately be powered by Snapdragon 821 chipset in some regions, and Exynos 8893 in other regions. Going by history, India would likely get the Exynos version.
Storage: All the Galaxy Note7 phablets spotted in benchmarks so far had 64GB of onboard storage. However, rumors also point at 128GB and 256GB storage variants, and it remains to be seen Samsung unveils them.
Cameras: The cameras on the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge have been praised a lot. In our review and camera shootout between the high-end flagship smartphones, we’ve seen the Galaxy S7’s 12-megapixel camera with dual-pixel technology outperform the competition. And Samsung may use the same camera module on the Galaxy Note7 as well. There are also other rumors doing rounds that the Galaxy Note7 could employ dual-camera setup at the back, but we will have to wait and see if Samsung goes ahead with it, or keeps it for the Galaxy S8.
Connectivity: The Galaxy Note7 could be Samsung’s first device to come with the new USB Type-C port for data transfer and charging. Being a reversible connector, you don’t need to worry about which side is upside down, while plugging in. Another advantage of USB Type-C is that it brings faster data transfer speeds.
Battery: Rumors point to a 3,600mAh or 4,000mAh battery on the Galaxy Note7. It is also expected to come with fast charging and wireless fast charging feature, just like the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge.
Samsung Galaxy Note7 Price
The Galaxy Note7 is expected to be priced around €849, which is approximately Rs 63,000. This is quite higher compared to the Galaxy Note 5, which was launched for Rs 53,900.
