The persistent Rumor mill can finally take a well-deserved break. The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is official and kicking and is scheduled to arrive in India on August 11, 2016.
With the new Note, Samsung adopts a rather conservative approach. The Galaxy Note7 can be oversimplified as a Galaxy S7 edge with an additional S-Pen, but there are more than a handful of changes and refinements that keep the ball rolling.

What’s New In Samsung Galaxy Note 7?
- Samsung Galaxy Note 7 becomes the first phone with Gorilla Glass 5 (Both front and back)
- It is also the first Samsung phone with a Type C port
- The much hyped IR scanner is a reality, and it doesn’t come at the expense of fingerprint sensor
- This is the first Samsung Note that offers IP68 water resistance
- Samsung has also introduced a new Blue color variant
- Then there are a ton of small but significant software changes (including the ability to make GIFs from videos using S Pen)
- The S Pen is 2 X pressure sensitive and is now assisted by a more refined software
- Oh, and the S Pen won’t go in backwards
Apart from the above-mentioned changes, Samsung sticks to the same display and camera as in its latest S series flagship. But, since they are already one of the best available options, there isn’t any reason to complain.
Talking of Galaxy Note 7 Specifications, you will get a Quad-core Snapdragon 820/ Exynos octa-core SoC (Region based), 64GB storage, 256GB microSD card support, 4GB RAM, 12MP rear camera plus 5MP front camera each with big size pixels and f/1.7 aperture optics, and a massive 3500 mAh battery. The Software is Android 6.0 Marshmallow based and since the display is curved around both edges, you also get to use the Edge UX.
