Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (rumor)


Samsung initially left Europe out in the cold when it launched the Galaxy Note5. As consolation, the Old Continent got the Galaxy S6 edge+, but it wasn't quite the same. Rumor has it that this time Europeans are getting the full-fat Galaxy Note 7, which will have a dual-curved screen.

Allegedly, Samsung took a while to figure out how the S Pen stylus will coexist with the 5.8" curved screen. There won't be a flat screen version to avoid fragmentation.

The screen will be a Super AMOLED with QHD resolution and the similarities with the S7 don't end here. The phone will be powered by an overclocked version of the Exynos chipset paired with 6 GB of RAM. Following in the footsteps of the S7, the Note 7 will bring a bigger battery than its predecessor - 4,000 mAh (up from 3,000 mAh).

The camera will feature the 12 MP dual-pixel sensor, but will sport improved software. The additional features will reportedly be ported over to the S7 and S7 edge with an upgrade. Previous rumors suggest the Note 7 will have an IP68 rating, an iris scanner and a USB Type-C port.


The rumor suggests the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 will arrive in mid-August at € 800 (price for the Netherlands, should be a bit lower elsewhere).
