It cuts right through overhead sun glare, and is perfectly usable on the brightest days. The Note 7 display excels in all these areas, and it the best we’ve we tested outdoors. Samsung wisely put effort elsewhere, pushing contrast, refining sharpness, reducing glare, and pumping brightness. That’s only because the Gear VR headset secures the display mere inches from the face, where individual pixels are discernable. Virtual reality and the new Samsung Gear VR is the only case to be made for more pixels. On the 5.7-inch display (also the same), that results in an impressive 518 pixels per inch, which is overkill for everyday use. That’s why we’re not too disappointed Samsung stuck with the same 2560 x 1440 resolution as the Note 5. The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display. The flash, pulse reader, and 12-megapixel rear shooter sit on the rear panel, middle upper half. The 5-megapixel selfie camera, iris scanner, and light sensor line the top, surrounding the ear piece. The familiar and oblong Samsung home button, which doubles as a fingerprint reader, rests centered under the display, flanked by the capacitive all-apps and back keys. The top houses another pinhole mic next to a microSD and SIM card slot (pin release).
The bottom edge features the 3.5mm audio jack, USB Type-C input for charging and data, pinhole mic, speaker, and S Pen slot. It bears all the familiar Samsung elements and placements, with a power button on the right side, and a two-piece volume rocker on the left. It’s available in blue coral, silver titanium, and black onyx. This means that while it will easily survive a rainstorm or spill, don’t take it swimming. It’s IP68 rated for dust and water resistance. Samsung obviously wasted no space inside. Slick grip aside, the Note 7 feels great in hand. We still strongly recommend Note 7 owners invest in a case. Both sides are Gorilla Glass 5 coated, so they should survive the occasional drop. While the glass back panel looks great, it doesn’t provide any grip. It’s a very big smartphone, or phablet, just less unwieldy. It’s completely symmetrical, with a rounded strip running across around the edges.Īll this makes the Note 7 easier to hold in one hand than the Galaxy Note 5. The back panel mirrors the front with an identical curve. The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has a slick glass back. 1 inches narrower than the Galaxy Note 5. Despite having the same 5.7-inch display, the Galaxy Note 7 is. The curve effect is slighter on the Note 7 than the Galaxy S7 edge, resulting in more flat display space, which plays its part in keeping the device as narrow as possible. Samsung ditched the standard flat-screen and bezel smartphone, going instead with the sloped curves of the Galaxy edge series.
No surprise here as Samsung smartphone hardware is arguably the best, the Galaxy Note 7 is an impeccably-crafted device. In a market awash in smartphones low in cost and high in quality, is it worth it? Build & Design
The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 costs at least $850 at launch, depending on the carrier. For that matter, nor can the iPhone 6S, LG G5, or HTC 10.

Why pay $800 plus for a Note when the Honor 5X offers quality Android on the cheap?īut the Honor 5X can’t do what the new Samsung Galaxy Note 7 does. Because high-quality smartphones from Motorola, Huawei, ZTE, and others cost less than half as much.
