Preview: Samsung Galaxy Note7 – Note is back While

Samsung has just released the Galaxy Note7 presented and this will bring the Note series after a year absence back in Europe. Apparently, one keeps in Europe of the S-Pen, that turned out to be last year still a problem. While yesterday, a few hours was able to test with the Galaxy Note7 and we can say that it is a full-fledged flagship, with a number of extra features compared to the Galaxy S7. The device does not, in any event below for S7.

in The coming weeks, the unit will first send a pre-order available, but on 2 september starts the actual sale only the unit. The Galaxy Note7 will be 849 euro is going to cost, and comes in the colors blue, silver and black.

Brief history

Samsung decided last year in all of his wisdom to the Galaxy Note 5 is not in Europe, a remarkable choice, and one that I’ve never been able to understand. The reason was that in Europe the S-Pen is hardly used and therefore it was better for a larger device without S-Pen. Yesterday, I Samsung about to say and they still stand behind that choice and wanted the no “wrong choice” call. The device the Note 5 had to be replaced was the Galaxy S6 Edge+ (review), a device that, in terms of naming damn was confusing and never able to come close to the Note series. Samsung notes, however, that the device met the expectations in terms of sales.

Note 6

It is probably already noticed that last year, the Note 5 is released and now the Note7, Samsung has decided to give the naming right to withdraw the S-series, and therefore, the Note 6 will be skipped. The consumer may think that the Note 6 is not as good as the Galaxy S7, while it makes no difference, according to Samsung. Further, the space is deleted and is called this unit the Note7.

First experience

I have yesterday two hours had time to take the Note7 to be able to play and take the necessary test. My first impression about the device is very good. The device is really nice in the hand and that has to do with has fact that the unit is completed, not only the screen at the top is rounded (Edge), but also the back is rounded. In terms of weight, it is more logical point to just a bit heavier than the average 5-inch device, but the device is lighter than, for example, the iPhone 6S Plus.

That is really remarkable since the Note7 features a 5.7-inch screen from 5.5 inches for the iPhone 6S Plus. The screen resolution has remained the same with 2560 x 1440 pixels, I had for the development of the virtual reality market hoping for a 4K screen, but so far Samsung has not yet. Probably the next year.

Samsung also has a short presentation in which it stressed that the Note series is much closer to the S-series. Both in design and in terms of features, there are many similarities to be found. Such are the main features of the S7 one-on-one, acquired in the Note7. The Note7 also features a larger battery (3500 mAh), wireless charging and fast charge, waterproof (IP68), the same dual-pixel camera as in the S7 with 12 megapixels on the rear and a five megapixel camera on the front.

On the inside is an Exynos 8-chip with eight-core chip will have four cores running at 2.3 GHz and the other four at 1.6 GHz. This is combined with 4GB of ram and 64GB of storage (UFS 2.0). For enthusiasts, there is also a microSD slot. Samsung pulls the storage capacity so up from 32 to 64GB. Probably is 64GB the new instaplimiet, again also an attack on Apple that still iPhones produces with only 16GB.

Also the design of the Galaxy S7 and the Note7 is close to each other, but fortunately the addition of the S-Pen is not the only innovation of this device, otherwise it was very limited. Samsung to begin with, the Gorilla Glass 5 applied in this device, giving the screen more sturdy and the chance of scratches or broken screen is much smaller. In addition, Samsung has a irisscanner (infrared camera) added to the Galaxy Note7. Thus, it is possible to unlock the device with your eyes. It is also possible to create a folder, for example, with photos secure on your smartphone, you have to try it in the irisscanner look to the content of the folder view. In addition, the irisscanner be used to log in to websites via the Samsung browser, or to make payments via Samsung Pay. (Samsung Pay is not currently available in the uk and there is still no date known).

Samsung has also finally said goodbye to the micro USB 2.0 connector, there is now a USB Type-C connector to find. This allows the charging cable also upside down are plugged in. For the accessories, this means that there will also be a new Gear VR is coming, the Gear VR 2. The new Gear VR is backwards compatible with older Samsung devices, there is an adapter included which gives you the glasses can be equipped with one micro-USB connector or a USB Type-C connector. Further, the lenses in the glasses are a little bit larger.

As said, the unit 849 euro costs, is this from 2 september to obtain in the colors; blue, silver and black. On the following page we will focus on the use of the device.
