Why Note 7?

We all know that the most recent Note series phone launched last year was called Samsung Galaxy Note 5. So why is this year's version not Note 6 but Note 7? In response to that question, Samsung's representative said that they skipped the name Note 6 and went straight to Note 7 because Samsung wanted to unify the names for its two high-end lines, the S series and the Note series, this is to increase brand value as well as competitiveness. Thus, after the Galaxy S7/S7 Edge duo in the first half of this year, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 will be sold in the second half of the year.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 may be waterproof

Like the Samsung Galaxy S7, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 will be equipped with IP68 water and dust resistance standards, allowing it to be submerged in water at a depth of 1m. The Note 7 is also Samsung's first Note series phone to be water resistant.

Retinal scan security

The most groundbreaking feature on the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is the retina security technology. Samsung uses a system of lenses, front camera, and sensors to record the user's iris and face. Then uses 3 lenses to confirm and compare with the previous image. To unlock the Note 7, you do not need to enter a password or fingerprint, but simply look straight at the phone.

New design, curved screen

The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 design will be a mix of last year's Note 5 and this year's Galaxy S7 Edge. Specifically, the device is crafted with a metal frame, a curved screen on both sides, and a 2.5D curved glass back. The Note 7 has the square, masculine design of the Note 5 and the attractive curved screen of the S7 Edge. In addition, there are rumors that the Note 7 will have a flat screen version, in addition to the curved screen version.

USB Type-C

The Galaxy S7 duo is highly rated, but has a drawback of only being equipped with a Micro USB port. Samsung has overcome this on the Note 7 by bringing the most advanced connection port currently USB Type-C to the upcoming high-end Phablet. With USB Type-C, users can comfortably plug in both ends, and data transmission speed is also faster.

New generation S-Pen

The S-Pen is a highlight that has made a name for Samsung's Note series. On the Galaxy Note 7, Samsung will continue to enhance the sensitivity of the S-Pen to enhance the writing and drawing experience. At the same time, they also added the underwater note-taking feature. In terms of software, the S-Pen has the ability to highlight a paragraph of text and automatically translate it.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 price

Currently, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is officially priced at 18,490,000 VND. Normally, the Note series will be priced slightly higher than the S series. It is likely that Samsung will sell the Galaxy Note 7 for 19 million VND, a very high price but worthy of what the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 brings.
