Samsung Electronics yesterday finally unveiled the Galaxy Note 7 via a live streaming across four countries. Samsung continues to push boundaries in the smartphone market with innovative features, refined craftsmanship, and awe-inspiring upgrades on the Note7.
The Galaxy Note7 strikes a balance between work and play, simultaneously shifting paradigms on what a smartphone can do. Here are 7 reasons why we think you should either beg, borrow, steal, or pre-order (highly-recommended!) the Note7.
A water resistant body and S Pen (IP68)
Yes, that means you can take your Note7 with you in the shower, or in the pool. Use it whenever, wherever, and however you like!
Improved pressure sensitivity of the S Pen
The S Pen’s diameter has been reduced to a mere 0.7mm to provide a more pen-like experience, making it much easier for your notes, drawing and sketching. Use it whenever and wherever your idea strikes, now that you don’t even have to unlock the screen to access your memo. It’s all about ease and precision.
Everything you do with the S Pen will be stored in the integrated Samsung Notes app, making it easier for you to access all your work.
New iris scanning feature
Coupled with Samsung Knox, an industry-leading security platform, the Galaxy Note7 takes security and privacy to new heights by integrating the highly advanced biometric authentication–including fingerprint scanner and iris scanning technology.
The iris recognition technology can also be used to authenticate secure purchases that are made on Samsung Pay (coming soon).
HDR video streaming
The Galaxy Note7 comes with a gorgeous, curved 5.7-inch QHD Super AMOLED screen for an immersive picture experience. It is ready to stream HDR-quality video, giving you almost cinema-like experience wherever you are.
Best Gaming Experience
The Galaxy Note7 is determined to give you the best gaming experience, and this is made possible with their Vulcan API ready games. The Galaxy Note7 also features Game Pack, available through Google Play, including top game titles, an easier redemption process and new user benefits.
Duel-Pixel technology
The Galaxy Note7 is equipped with the advanced camera, just like its cousins, the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge. The dual-pixel sensor technology with wide aperture and fast auto focus work together to create sharp and beautiful photos even in low-light environments. Tell stories, share special moments, create memories, the Note7 will do as you command it.
Up to 256 GB of memory
In addition to 64GB of internal memory, the Galaxy Note7 offers expandable storage and microSD support up to 256GB.
The Smart Switch on Samsung has also been enhanced further with Samsung Cloud, which provides continuous backup and easy transfer of content including data, apps, settings and more. Galaxy Note7 users will be able to use up to 15GB of free space to store and restore information on Samsung Cloud.
The Galaxy Note7 is available in Gold Platinum, Silver Titanium and Black Onyx, and will arrive in Malaysia starting 19th August 2016, at a price of RM3,199. The blue variant is not yet available in Malaysia.
Online pre-order can be done between 8th to 10th August 2016. Only 4,000 units are available for order so mark the dates!
