Samsung Galaxy Note 7: Initial Impressions

Samsung announced the launch of the brand new Galaxy Note 7. Samsung has decided to stick with the same design of the galaxy S7 that has worked so well for them in the past. The Galaxy Note 7 is an absolute treat for the eyes with the gorgeous 5.7" quad hd super amoled display and the curved edges giving it super thin bezels. All this is covered with the Gorilla Glass 5  which gives the phone a premium vibe.
 The Note 7 comes with a snapdragon 820 chip, 4 GB of ram, 64 GB of internal storage and MicroSD expansion. There is a 5 MP front facing camera. The back camera is a 12 MP camera with f 1.7 aperture, Optical Image Stabilization, 4K video recording. When it comes to Samsung, the cameras are going to be great, that's a given. Also, the Note 7 is IP 68 water resistant. The Note 7 comes with Android Marshmallow and a  3500 mAh battery. The phone has a USB type-c charging port with fast charging.
Now let's get to the new features. The Note 7 has an iris scanner. What that does is it unlocks the phone WITH YOUR EYES. YES, so if you feel too lazy to draw a pattern or put your finger on a finger print reader, now all you have to do is just look at your phone. But seriously, this is a wonderful feature which you can use to unlock your phone but also to secure the contents in a private area of the phone. The finger print sensor is also obviously present.

Samsung has also made improvements to the s-pen. The tip of the s-pen has got a finer point and the phone now has over 4000 levels of pressure sensitivity resulting in a finer writing experience. Also, a really exciting new function of the s-pen is the ability to create gifs right away. So you can make a gif of any video you are watching then and there.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is packing loads of other new features. This new method of gradually improving the Galaxy S Series and the Note series is really exciting although I was hoping to see some slight tweaks in the design. You just can't go wrong with the Galaxy Note 7.
