First impression: Great Galaxy Note 7 with curved screen – NU.nl

The new device, which will appear in early September for 849 euros, adheres to the core values ​​of the Note series:. Good specifications, a large screen and a stylus

This year, the Note has the first screen that is curved at the edges, like the Galaxy S7 Edge. The deflection seems to be more limited than that unit, making the design as a whole less conspicuous

See the first images of the Galaxy Note. 7:

First impression: Galaxy Note 7 with new stylus

the build quality is excellent, with beautifully finished metal edges and glass at the back which is also slightly bent. Despite its size, the device is comfortable to hold and the unit appears on the bending of the screen less great; it is almost exactly as large as the recent OnePlus 3, which has a smaller screen of 5.5 inches.

Like the S7 is the Note 7 watertight. There is no cover over the USB C and headphone port. Since plain water can run without this creates damage.

Above the screen is not just a camera, but also a special iris scanner. This can quite quickly identify the user of the device. It must first be pressed a button and the lock should be weggeswipet.

This makes the use of iris scanner less quickly than the fingerprint scanner on the home button, though he can be a solution if you for example wet hands have and the fingerprint scanner is not working. In initial tests the iris scanner was accurate, even with glasses on.



S Pen

The stylus is hidden time in the lower right corner of the smartphone. By pressing the tip of the pen, he comes with a firm click from the device.

This scribe, called Samsung S Pen, is the main feature that the Note 7 differs from the S7 Edge. Not everyone will need a stylus, but who prefer to write out notes instead of typing in can benefit from the S Pen.

The scribe has been in the Note 7 several new features. It is possible to zoom text with the press of a button on the side of the stylus. Also can be minimized app and recalled again by hovering over with the tip of the pin.

These are nice features, but it is doubtful how many people will use them. The most important is that with the S Pen to quickly make a note or drawing.

Now you can, according to Samsung, more accurately, because the S Pen has been a smaller point and can measure more different pressure levels. I noticed during the first test is not directly the difference, but the pen does work accurately.

For the first time the S Pen can also be used as the display of the Note off. When the stylus is removed from the smartphone while the phone is idle, the opening notes app, though the screen is largely black.

Then you can eg quickly write a grocery list or a reminder on the screen without having to unlock the phone. Notes remain on the lock until they are saved or deleted.



Camera

The Galaxy Note 7 has the same camera as the S7. Which is still very impressive and there are few competitors can match this camera level.

in other areas seems Note 7 much like its smaller brother. The chip is the same as the working memory (4GB) and operating system (Android 6.0.1). The battery has a capacity of 3500 mAh slightly larger, but the larger screen will also consume more power.

There is standard twice as much storage space (64GB). You can use a MicroSD card be extended.



Interim conclusion

The Galaxy Note 7 S7 and S7 Edge will probably not supplant the smartphone charts. This is the price of 849 euros too high and the screen size.

But people who are looking for major smartphone and in need of a stylus, can the latest addition to the Note series fine again justified. Samsung phablet has not only standardized, but also seems to him continue to have perfected
