Why Note 7?

We all know that the most recent Note phone launched last year was called the Samsung Galaxy Note 5. So why is this year's version not the Note 6 but the Note 7? In response to that question, a Samsung representative said that they skipped the Note 6 name and went straight to the Note 7 because Samsung wanted to unify the names for its two high-end lines, the S line and the Note line, 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 iris security technology. Samsung uses a system of lenses, front cameras, 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 transfer speed is also faster.

New generation S-Pen

The S-Pen is a highlight that has made a name for Samsung's Note line. 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.
