Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Leak

-Advertisement-

Samsung has confirmed the launch of their latest project, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, will launch in New York on the 2nd of August 2016. The Note 7 is Samsung’s third announcement in 2016, following the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge which debuted in March this year at the mobile world congress.  Samsung announced in a blog post where they confirmed its launch and gave an explanation to why they jumped a digit to call it the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 instead of Note 6. They chose the name to minimise confusion and to complement its Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge flagships. It is still unclear on the galaxy note 7 specs, but rumours are handy in creating a rough picture on what the device will be like. Here are the most likely features:

Design and display

According to rumours, both the flat and curved screen designs were being developed with only one of them making it to the market, which most likely the curved version. The phablet will look a lot like the galaxy s7 edge with just a few additions, one of which is going to be the S pen. The device will also come with an iris scanner on the upper right-hand side of its front. The device is most likely going to be a USB Type-C port on the bottom to support fast charging of its 4000mAh battery. The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is set to launch with a 5.8 inch Super AMOLED display. Smartphones are not yet powerful enough to jump to 4k displays so the Note 7 is most likely to remain at 2k quad HD display.

Hardware

The Note 7 is rumoured to be coming with an Exynos chipset or a Qualcomm Snapdragon same as the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge as well as 6GB of RAM and 32GB or 64GB of internal memory. Whether the phablet will come with the QUALCOMM Snapdragon or the Exynos chipset will depend on the region.

Software

It is nearly certain that the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 will be unveiled with the Android Marshmallow 6.0 together with Samsung's Touch Wiz user interface integrated with the operating system as a second skin. Reports claim that the UI is a beta version of a new Touch wiz that is still being developed.

Camera

The Note 7 will most likely inherit the Samsung Galaxy S7 12-megapixel Dual Pixel camera, hailed as one of the best features of the S7, in addition to a 5MP front facing camera. Samsung Electro-Mechanics Co., under the Samsung Group, started to design its own dual lens cameras earlier this year with mass production set to kick off any time this year. The dual-lens camera offers improved zooming capabilities, wider-angle image capture, enhanced lighting and adjustable post-capture focusing among other benefits.

Battery

A device’s battery life is a complicated subject to discuss or predict before its launch, why? Because the battery life depends on so many factors. But here is what is known; the Galaxy Note 7 will feature a sizeable 4,000Ah battery, a significant improvement to the 3,000Ah cell used in its predecessor, the Galaxy Note 5. We should, therefore, expect improved battery life as the device will be launching with a more efficient processor (Snapdragon 820) in addition to the fact that Samsung will not be upgrading to the battery draining 4K display. It is unclear whether the battery will be removable or not.

In summary, the Note 7 is expected to be much like the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge with the addition of the S-PEN feature. The device is more likely to launch in the curved design with improved specs and a more powerful processor, better camera and possibly more RAM. In Kenya, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7’s price will definitely be north of KSH. 70,000. Expect more updates as more features continue to leak.
