For months has been looking forward to and we speculated it full on the loose. In early August then finally came the redeeming word from Samsung. On the Unpacked 2016 event was the latest flagship was revealed: the Samsung Galaxy Note 7
The dust had not even settled down and the first criticism could be heard already.. The Galaxy Note 7 would actually be a Galaxy S7 Edge, the only difference being the S Pen and the price tag. Samsung is lazy and has taken over the famous designer one-on-one. Innovation would be hard to find and more of the same offer. And all for a price of 849 euros, if you buy the latest iPhone. Unprecedented! The Galaxy Note 7 was there along with a lot.
Are these criticisms justified? The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 a wolf in sheep’s clothing, or his designate distinct differences between the new Galaxy Note 7 and the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge? In this comparison, we look at how the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 distinguishes itself from its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
Design
Let’s be honest. If you Samsung Galaxy Note 7 lays next to the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, you would think that the two flagships like two drops of water similar. Just look at the most eye-catching design element: the rounded edges on both sides. These are to be found at both units. Also, the same combination of glass and aluminum, we see once again come back and they are dust and water resistant with IP68 certification
it is true that both high-end devices in this field were necessary in common, but there are also more than enough differences. The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has a more symmetrical design that the rounded edges are processed at the side and rear. Because of this he was even better in your hand despite its size. If you look closely at the corners, you see immediately the difference. These are available from the Galaxy Note 7 is a lot tighter in finished comparison with the Galaxy S7 Edge. The Galaxy Note 7 has an on iris scanner at the front, but more on this a little further. Finally, the Galaxy Note 7 a fraction larger than the Galaxy S7 Edge, because it has the larger screen.
In short, agreements have been sure, but also plenty of differences.
display
If we look at the specs of the display, we also see the necessary agreements. So both flagships have a Super AMOLED display to 2560 by 1440 pixels counts, making them ideal for playing virtual reality and augmented reality games. Supporting the Vulkan API is also part of the standard arsenal. Admittedly, the screen size of the Galaxy Note 7 by 5.7 inches a fraction larger than the Galaxy S7 Edge that “only” 5.5 inches. For most, this slight difference is not a decisive factor when choosing a new smartphone.
The screen size is the only difference. Or not?
Con Here too apparent. If we study the better specifications, we see that the differences are not visible to the naked eye. Thus, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 with High Dynamic Range or HDR technology. Displays light and contrast on photos and videos even better displayed. Also, the flagship has an option to reduce the display resolution to full HD or HD. This is the battery life for the better and he goes, under the right conditions, for up to 35 hours longer
also, the Galaxy Note 7 includes a filter that can reduce the emission of blue light, an option that you can compare Night mode with Apple’s iOS. By limiting the emission of blue light, touch your eye strain. Another advantage is that you fall asleep earlier in because your body more easily create sleep hormones.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is the first smartphone equipped with Corning Gorilla Glass 5. With the new formula, the screen is even more resistant to scratches and bumps. Phones would have 80% more likely to overcome a hit of 1.60 meters. With Gorilla Glass 4 this strength could only be guaranteed by a fall of up to one meter. This scratch resistant layer is also thinner compared to its predecessor: 0.6 mm compared to 0.4 mm
In conclusion. the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 On paper the improved screen with the most features.
camera
the camera of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 regarding hardware and software identical to that of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Both have a primary camera of 12 megapixels with Phase Detection Auto Focus (PDAF), optical image stabilization (OIS) and LED flash. They feature the same dual pixel sensor, the camera quickly focuses on all the individual pixels on the sensor are -just like our eyes. You capture moments in 4K or slow-motion video is also the most natural thing in the world.
Security
Then we arrive at a point where the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 clearly knows position relative to the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Thus, the Galaxy Note 7 more built-in security features than the Galaxy S7 Edge.
To begin with biometric security methods. The Galaxy S7 Edge has a fingerprint sensor in the Home button. Fast, safe and accurate, but today no longer a distinguishing feature: after all, we know this feature of expensive high-end appliances as cheaper midrange phones. The fingerprint sensor is also present in the Galaxy Note 7, but it also has another significant security option: an iris scanner. The Galaxy Note 7 is the first phone in the world that is equipped with this. Unique.
According to Samsung, the iris scanner safest security method that exists. PINs are recommended after all, to figure out character patterns that you leave stripes on the screen and fingerprints are also to reproduce. Irises are unique: there are no two the same. They leave no physical trace. Enough reason why Samsung is so proud of this feature.
The iris scanner has various applications. First, he makes sure that others do not gain access to the contents of your smartphone, similar to other security options. But what if you’re at home walking around kids who like to play games on daddy’s smartphone? Self game you like and maybe your games are not exactly kid friendly. To prevent your offspring with this indulge their gaming addiction on your game, you can protect them with the iris scanner. Only after authentication these games will be launched. Do you want to prevent someone you know photos and videos by accident? Then secure them with the iris scanner. The same goes for your text, presentations, music and other files.
Login password is so passé. At least, in the eyes of Samsung. If you use the Internet app from Samsung, you can login with the iris scanner. A small downer is that the availability of iris scanning can vary by site, so we suspect that log into websites with your eyes at the moment is more a gimmick than a practical, useful application. But who knows that this is different in the future.
Enough about the hardware. About the software. The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 comes standard with Samsung Knox security platform. Lets you create your own protected virtual environment so you can use the Note 7 both business and private. Knox has extra secure VPN connections, its own application store and can also be managed by the IT department of your office.
Would you like your Samsung Galaxy Note 7 password? Do you have somewhere to let him accidentally lie, but you do not know where? Or worse, it was stolen? For these cases, Samsung app Find My Mobile “installed. And should he have fallen into the wrong hands and contain personal or other sensitive information, you can wipe the device remotely all data.
S Pen
Like every smartphone in the Samsung Galaxy Note series, the Note 7 a stylus, the S Pen. Like any pen -Digital or non-use to him in the first place notes or drawings, but he obviously has other useful tricks. If you normally take a screenshot, you make an image of the entire screen. But what if you have only a certain part wants to make a selection and you do not want to start a photo editing program? With the S Pen you make smart selections. Or what if the screen you do not want to make fit on your screen? Even before that Samsung has devised a solution that “Scrolling through image ‘hot.
Is that all you can with the S Pen? On the contrary, Samsung has invented a number of new features for its smart stylus. Zoom in on text fragments for example. Handy if you are visually impaired or the site you’re visiting is not mobile friendly. The Galaxy Note 7 is the most natural thing in the world to use two apps side by side with the option Glance through the pen simply to keep up. You can also select your words now and translate, or make POISON animations. Try that with the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
The tip of the S Pen is an ultra thin 0.7 millimeters thick and has 4096 pressure sensors.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is since March 2016 on the shelves. If you make a single copy ordered, you had initially an amount of 799 euros on the table. Now he is available for just 700 euros. The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 contrast, slightly more pricey. A separate unit cost as much as 849 euros. So start but already saving. If the price difference is justified, which is more a topic for review. In any case specifications do not wake the impression that you are buying a pig in a poke.
Conclusion
That the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is a blatant copy of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge includes a stylus, as we can not find us. The Galaxy Note 7, in our view, several innovative and distinctive features. For example, the display has all kinds of fine additives, such as HDR, a filter in order to reduce the emission of blue light and the ability to set the screen resolution downwards.
In the area of security, we see a world of difference between the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy Note 7. In the field of biometric security Galaxy S7 Edge knows only the fingerprint scanner. The Galaxy Note 7 additionally has an iris scanner. This is the ideal solution to protect the flagship against people from outside, but also to protect your personal photos, videos, music and other files. The addition of Samsung Knox you bring a separation between work and home. you will not have to buy two separate mobile phones.
The S Pen was a useful tool in everyday use and with the introduction of the Galaxy Note 7 become even smarter.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 diminish as an imitation or double of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge does not do justice to the many improvements that Samsung has introduced with the arrival of its new flagship.
