The successor to the popular Galaxy Note 5 is the Galaxy Note. 7 – and not the Galaxy Note 6
Samsung Galaxy Note skipped to 6 with the purpose of simplifying the numbering of their mobile logo ( series Galaxy S series and Galaxy Note) and perhaps to be better positioned to compete with the iPhone in July.
the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 does not represent too drastic a change as perhaps many of us would have liked, but seems to have you need to be a step ahead of the successful Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge.
Design with curved screen with HDR and waterproof
the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 keeps on generally curved edges of the series, but brings water resistance IP68 (up to 1.5 meters deep for up to 30 minutes) and microSD card slot that brought back the Galaxy S7.
also, Galaxy Note 7 integrates a curve like the Galaxy S7 Edge screen (with curvature at its two side edges) and a design composed of a metal frame and two glass panels.
However, the Galaxy Note 7 is a little more symmetrical than the Galaxy S7 edge, centering the metal edge on their sides and including a virtually identical rear and front curvature.
the Galaxy Note 7 integrates a larger screen than the Galaxy S7 Edge, 5.7 inches (same size Note 5) instead of 5.5 inches. The screen of the Galaxy Note 7 is the first, according to Samsung, to integrate support for mobile content HDR (via a dedicated decode the video HDR chip), one of the most important technologies being integrated into high-end TVs . The phone is protected with the new ultra-resistant glass Corning Gorilla Glass 5.
On the other hand, the camera Galaxy Note 5 does not protrude much of his body, the stylus S Pen is on the edge lower right and now brings new USB-C (USB Type C) port, but fast charging is compatible with quick charge 2.0 and not quick charge 3.0 as the HTC 10 or the LG G5.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has a curved screen of 5.7 inches with a resolution of 2,560 x1,440 pixels.

At the bottom edge connector also is headset (yes, it’s good news that still has headphone jack) and the top edge is where the drawer of the microSD slot and the SIM card is located.
the power button is still in the right edge and the two volume buttons are still on the left edge.
by the way, the Galaxy Note 7 still integrates the fingerprint reader on the Start button and capacitive navigation buttons (back and apps recent)
overall, the Samsung phone feels great in hand, but it feels like a thicker device than its predecessor.. as a compact block of glass and metal
in addition, the Galaxy Note 7 is a more compact than its predecessor, thanks to its small bezels and curved screen millimeters.
The Galaxy Note 7 has a reader iris that lets you unlock the phone or secure files using your eyes

iris scanner. Unlock the phone with your eyes
the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is the first cell of the South Korean company to integrate an iris scanner, in addition to the fingerprint reader.
the iris scanner lets you unlock your cell just by looking at it, or you can access protected in the same way files
During the time I could test this function, the iris scanner was fast, but he must be looking very directly to the cell. – which is not so practical.
Even Samsung mentioned that it is advisable not to wear glasses, contact lenses, have relatively wide open eyes, have fairly high in front of you cell and could have difficulty recognizing your eyes if you are in full sunlight or in situations with very little light.
According to my experience with the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL, cell comprising a scanner similar iris and have been available on the market for months, the iris scanner is not the most practical way to unlock a cell and I think that with the Galaxy Note 7 will not be an exception; the fingerprint reader will be the main way to unlock it.
Even Samsung understands this and why he believes that this feature will be used to access protected files in the new folder Segura (later on this ).
Folder Safe
the Galaxy Note 5 integrated private mode that hid the protected files Android phone.
Samsung understands that this proved to be a bit confusing and so created a new secure folder where users can put all kinds of protected there, files to this folder is the central site of what is protected cell.
protected files are totally independent of the other major apps and even this feature allows you to have a Facebook account, Twitter and Gmail, or the like, different from what you have in regular screens Galaxy Note 7.
this can be useful to divide the work personally or your content as accessing your children.
During the time I was able to test this feature I found which worked very well and could be beneficial to many. Foul more calmly try to see if it presents no clear deficiency.
The Galaxy Note 7 comes with Android Marshmallow with a new custom interface of Samsung.
Josh Miller / CNET
Android Marshmallow, functions Edge and interface
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 runs Android Marshmallow and in the future would be updated to Android 7.0 Nougat.
Although at first glance the interface (Android) seems to have no major changes, the custom interface company now brings configurations more simplified fast (without the round icon), phone settings now bring a description and new icons, like standard apps (call, messages, etc.) also bring some subtle design changes.
on the other hand, the Galaxy Note 7 brings the functions of the curved screen (functions Edge) currently integrates the Galaxy S7 Edge, including the My places panel, shortcuts apps, news and tools, among others.
The stylus S Pen Galaxy Note 7 also comes loaded with new features.

New with the stylus S pen: Precision, translation and capture GIFs
In general, the stylus S pen is very similar to the S pen of Note 5, including a button and a top that can be pressed like a traditional pen. However, the S pen Galaxy Note 7 brings a lot of interesting news.
the pen tip has been reduced so that now integrates a diameter of only 0.7mm instead of 1.5mm as the Note 5. This allows the field that detects the screen is smaller, so you can write or draw with more precision. in addition, the pressure level of the stylus has been doubled to provide more flexibility in writing.
the Air Command (Air Command, in English) still present in the Galaxy note 7, but now integrates the function of creating a note (as part of Samsung Notes), the intelligent selection can now also capture videos to share parts as a GIF and function translate text by selecting it with the stylus.
the smart selection now presents a box to create GIFs based on video, where you can also write directly to them to share.
Meanwhile, the traction function uses Google technology to translate text quickly and good accuracy (in many cases), as well as includes an icon so you can hear how would the pronunciation of the word in that language .
on the other hand, the Galaxy Note 7 also integrates a feature to magnify text using the S Pen, as a function called out (glance) that lets you share apps.
the Galaxy Note 7 keeps the same function that allows you to write on the lock screen, but now lets you add this script to the always on display. This can be very helpful to visualize a shopping list and other information you need to seamlessly access at any time
Samsung Notes:. New app
The Galaxy Note 7 Samsung decided to simplify a little variety of apps dedicated to this phone and its stylus.
the app Action Memo, Memo, Scrapbook and S Note still present in the Galaxy Note 7, but are now integrated into a single app called Samsung Notes.
with this new integration, Samsung attempts to simplify some functions of the cell to make it easier to access these different functions from one place.

specifications to the Galaxy S7 Edge
as for specs, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 no big surprises.
like the Galaxy S7, the Galaxy Note 7 brings the Snapdragon 820 quad-core processor in the US and the Exynos 8890 eight-core processor in the world.
you’ll also find 4GB of RAM, a rear 12-megapixel camera with dual photodiode and a front camera of 5 megapixels.
However, the Galaxy Note 7 brings 64GB of storage basis instead of 32GB. also, bring a battery of 3,500mAh, which represents 500mAh more than had the Galaxy Note 5 which has the Galaxy S7. However, it is 100mAh less than what integrates Galaxy S7 Edge.
Although the S8 Galaxy integrated the API Vulkan to provide better 3D images, with the Galaxy Note 7 will launch about eight games that are to benefit from this technology, providing more fluidity and quality graphics. Some of the games include, for example, Need For Speed No Limits.
By the way, the Galaxy Note 7 still incorporates a heart rate sensor, wireless charging, screen always lit with information on more notifications and Samsung claims that despite having more capacity battery should charge virtually at the same rate as did the Galaxy Note 5. This means that not be achieved as fast as the Dash loaded the OnePlus 3 as mobile as the HTC 10 LG G5 bringing technology Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0, instead of Quick Charge 2.0, although it will test for our full analysis to see what might be the real difference.
New Samsung Gear VR (2016)
Samsung also launched the first virtual reality glasses company with the new USB-C, primarily to provide compatibility with the Galaxy Note 7.

Although Samsung has not announced the price of Galaxy Note 7, the company announced that US You will be offering a free 256GB microSD card or Gear Fit 2 new phone buyers; users have the option to choose between these two items.
First Printing
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is an important step for the company, consolidating first the curved screen in a single model of its flagship phone.
This shows the commitment of the company with curved screens, and also makes competing more directly with the Galaxy S7 Edge because the difference in size is only 0.2 inches (5.7 vs 5.5 inches).
However, although the Galaxy S7 Edge has a higher capacity battery, the Galaxy Note 7 brings many more features than the Galaxy S7 Edge, as it brings the new USB-C port and feel a bit better in the hand despite being larger and heavier.
on the other part, I confess that I have liked the Galaxy Note 7 had 6GB of RAM as the OnePlus 3, as it could offer better performance at times, especially when we consider the amount of functions that integrates this phone.
also, I wish that cell integrated fast charging quick charge 3.0 instead of quick charge 2.0.
Fortunately, water resistance and microSD slot are some of the features that miss in the Galaxy Note 5, and hope that the good experience we had with the Galaxy S7 is transmitted to the Galaxy Note 7.
Stay slope that soon we hope to have our full analysis to really know how it differs to the Galaxy S7 and is what really gives this cell over its predecessors
