Hello
We have a tradition long before the official the announcement to discuss the main characteristics of the flagships, to talk about what they can do and how to relate to the previous devices. Given that all stated information is informal, you can take it with a little skepticism, the previous materials, as a rule, characterized by high accuracy and give a complete picture of the models. In the case of Note 7 official information you learn on August 2 with the presentation device, which is traditionally held in New York. Until then, I suggest you discuss the flagship of Samsung and see what he will surprise us or that offer new.
Why Note 7 and Note 6 to Delhi? What a mess in names
Historically, it so happened that line Note appeared later than the Galaxy, and it also comes out in the fall, that is, it turns out that when the market is already sold Galaxy with a high atomic number, appears Note to smaller number. Samsung decided for marketing reasons to neutralize this difference and immediately jump to the digit 7, conceding six. No other except marketing, no arguments here.
In August 2015, when Samsung showed Note 5, it became clear that the future of the line Note doubt, the company decided to make the S6 EDGE + main unit and Note sell and promote a residual in most markets. He came out at the end of the year, that is, with a delay of a few months, did not have the same support, giving the impression that from the line Note want peace and quiet to get rid of. Already in January, it became clear that such steps Samsung provoked very sharp reaction from buyers, they did not want the disappearance of line Note and demanded that, as before, this line is not just there, but let’s phones with the best engineering solutions. At the time of announcement of the Galaxy S7 / S7 EDGE inside Samsung we have already decided that all will return to its original place and the next Note will be one of the key models for the company as before.
Ranking of the device looks – is the most powerful from an engineering point of view of the model, which has a large margin of safety. It is curious that at various forums still discussing that Note 3 is so good that there is no point in replacing it on older models. Clearly, this is not quite true, but in the perception of a significant number of people the previous model line Note is not outdated and are in demand. For example, when traveling, I often use the Note 4 are not experiencing any issues, it is quite a modern smartphone on the speed and on the Android version (6.0.1 is). Over the past two years, this model has not passed much, may well survive for at least another year, providing a comfortable fit. In the market there are almost no models with such a long life cycle, which in this case would not morally obsolete.
Galaxy Note 4
With the Note 7, this story is not only persists, but it is possible that the life of this unit will grow even more. And to some extent it could be the ancestor of the updated line Note, the first or last device as such. One thing I can say for sure, no manufacturer will not show anything like that from a technical point of view, they just do not have such technology.
Design, size, controls
At comparable size differences in ergonomics S6 and S7 were striking, the second went into the hand like a glove, and the first on his background was perceived as nedopilenny prototype. Having mastered this trick, the Samsung engineers were able to repeat it, and in the line Note, the new flagship perfectly in the hand, while the previous I did not have any specific complaints. But Sause body, and due to this, and the beveled edges it fits in your hand better. Many people swears line Note for size, trying S7 EDGE, somehow baked onto him, saying that this unit is different ergonomics. It is to him as the prototype of and oriented to create Dimensions Note 7. Note 5 – 153.2h76.1h7.6 mm, Note 7 – 153.5h73.9h7.9 mm. Another shell thickness is not felt, but the fact that he already understood immediately. This is no loss of performance in a slightly smaller size is not responsible.
One of the key features of all the Note to Five were collapsible housing and an opportunity to change the battery. Unfortunately, this device monolithic body, the battery can be replaced only at the service center, which, however, the problem is not a standard procedure and takes a matter of minutes. Of course, if your side has a service center.
Just like in the S7 / S7 EDGE, added protection from water, supported by standard IP68. With the phone you can swim, drop into the water, and in most situations it will be nothing. Watch video as S7 behaves in the tank with water.
As with S7 / S7 EDGE, are used advanced security technology, when connectors determine whether there is water in them, and refuse to be charged even if it is detected. But in contrast to the S7 / S7 EDGE, recycled coated screen (the glass – all the same Corning Gorilla Glass 4), now more accurately recognized by pressing when the screen is wet.
But this is not all, in the name of the S Pen added the letter E (Enhanced), which means “superior.” Perot became less, but can now work both in the water and under water (why need a second, for me the big question, but maybe someone will find a use for this technology).
A common question that is asked, whether the version will be only with a curved screen or is it released and familiar flat. In the development of both devices were, but it was decided that display multiple positions on the market impractical demand more on the EDGE version, so there will be only a screen.
Slot made a sliding, there is room for a microSD memory card combined slot (or two SIM-cards or memory card). It is possible that in some markets Note 7 will be promoted as the DUOS, then it will read the inscription on the body. But these devices are structurally not different, they are identical.
Three body colors, the familiar design that does not strike. Among the external changes – replacing microUSB-socket on the USB Type C. Prototypes S7 EDGE have been equipped with the same connector, but at the last moment refused it, arguing that any benefits from its use will not get. In this model it is installed. Check failed for various reasons, the speed of this terminal, but presumably this USB 3.1 (not 2.0), that is, the data rate is maximum, as well as the charging rate.
Externally, with the screen Note 7 does not differ from the company’s previous devices, it can be distinguished on the details, but they are not visible from afar.
Display
Discrepancies with screen sizes will pursue this aid is, the screen size – 5.8 inches, the flat part of – 5.7 inches. And then how to count? Resolution remained QHD (2560h1440), to raise his did not, as it would negatively impact on the work of time, and this is the first device with the new battery technology (in fact, second only J7 in 2016, but there are components of a bunch of smaller hereinabove adaptation).
SuperAMOLED screen technology, this version can be considered a little bit modified in relation to the S7 EDGE, and the screen is universally recognized as the best in the market among all mobile devices, both in color reproduction and brightness, plus energy saving. Already at the time S6 seemed to me that a lot better in the screens will be difficult, but the Samsung every time belie these expectations. So, as in the S7 / S7 EDGE, appeared Always On mode when the screen shown clock and icons of missed events. Slightly modified the logic in the software additional notification modes to appear.
Once again, the power consumption is reduced, but this is discussed in the section on battery.
The algorithm works in the sun, the device gives a more natural color. In general, we can say that Samsung have your perfect display of the previous generation, and made it even more colorful, the better. Plus, you can change colors on your own, giving you a wide palette of colors. Or adapt the screen automatically. your preference learning algorithm has become a little smarter, faster he learns what kind of lighting and in what situations, programs you prefer.
Memory, memory, memory card, chipset
A lot of RAM is not the case, and this device proves this assertion, inside is 6 GB of RAM! memory type, as far as I know, has not changed, it LPDDR4 (10 nm process technology). In some power-saving memory can limit the working space, relatively speaking, your 6 GB can turn into 3 or 4 GB (relatively so, somewhat more complicated in practice). Unfortunately, somewhere read the details about this technology I could not, it is considered one of the key in ensuring the operating time of the device. Apparently, similar to the processor, where additional core effect when load increases, and the same happens with the memory. Only then the reference point becomes not load, and the power-saving mode. By the time of the announcement and later try to dig more in the technical documentation, and to understand how it all works. But we can say that the Note 7 is not as simple as its predecessors.
The minimum preset memory becomes 64 GB, plus available microSD cards of any size. It is said that some operators will sell versions with 128 GB, but it is exotic, the vast majority of devices will be released on 64 GB.
Now, a few words about chipsets. The device comes in two versions, for the US market, and a pair of operators outside of it – on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 (maximum frequency – 2.3 GHz, a bunch of virtual parrots Antutu). For most of the world the device will enter the Exynos 8893, the frequency here – up to 2.7 GHz, with less heat and more time working, plus better implemented cameras, energy-saving algorithms. The difference in time between these chipsets at the same load can be up to 20-25 percent. Of course, it all depends on your scripts using the device, but, nevertheless, it is quite a significant difference. Version available from Qualcomm – a tribute to the American market and the choice of operators.
Battery
In all leaks write about the battery capacity of 4000 mAh, check it, none of us can not, as to look into the case until it happens. According to my information, the battery capacity – 3600 mAh. This smartphone uses solutions that break in the company on the Exynos 7000 and Galaxy J7 2016 Battery year. I was amazed at J7 time, the unit is easily pulled under a load of 2-3 full days, and played the video for more than 20 hours at maximum brightness.
In Note 7 similar solutions are used, but they are somewhat modified. It is clear that it is necessary to drive the machines in the real world, to try them in the tail and mane, but I can say that Note 5 at the same load and setup works exactly half. In my case Note 5 day working at high load (4 hours screen 1 GB of data in LTE), in this case Note 7 will be about 8 hours Screen and two days.
Video playback time at maximum brightness – around 20 hours. Many times, say, that it is necessary to wait for the commercial samples and see how things will be there, but as long as conditions are very good.
Also, as before, there is a fast charge, it has become a little faster (half charge for 20 minutes of a penny). It supports wireless fast charging.
There is a mode of both conventional and extreme energy efficiency, it increases the time by disabling certain features. In these modes, the device writes in the software of some tens of hours at 9-10% charge. It should be checked.
In general, we can say that the Samsung set a new standard of time working for the champions, they are twice as hardier.
iris scanner
One of the key changes is becoming iris scanner, this method allows you to unlock the device without touching it. I recalled the work of the scanner on the ideology that we saw on the Lumia 950/950 XL. The glasses or without you, there is no difference, look at the machine, and it recognizes your iris and unlocked. It takes less than a second. This method is infallible and very fast, can compete with the fingerprint. Of the minuses – a slightly higher energy consumption, but for the convenience because you have to pay?
When running this technology in Note 7 will show that it is of interest to the public and demand, it may appear in the S8 / S8 EDGE. Although it is possible that this will be a single unit instead of two patterns.
Camera
Technically they are the same cameras that we have seen in the S7 / S7 EDGE, in fact improved image processing algorithm, the difference is not radical, but it is. Autofocus works immediately, however, and at S7 it was so. Due to grown performance image processing and video is much faster. As well as the changed image stabilization algorithm, it is sharper when shaking.
Interface Grace and Android 6
It was the first to receive Note 7 Grace UI, get him update the previous flagships. I like this version of TouchWiz, it all became even easier and easier, there are many new chips. About many things, but not everything is told in this video, there is, in principle, everything is clear and without translation.
briefly about the experience and prices
The cost of Note 7 in the US will fluctuate around 750-800 dollars, it will go on sale in the second half of August. In Europe, the cost will be about 800 euros, in Russia, apparently, about 60 000, but this is difficult to judge whether it will be true as long as the price of this product is not. For those who have a previous line of machines Note, the update offers full protection against water (IP68), the presence of a memory card (this is for the owners of Note 5, it will be important), an improved S Pen and new modes of working with him. Updating the software does not matter, it will receive all the devices. Maximum specifications, such as RAM, make this model a long-lived, which in principle is typical of line Note.
A very fast processor and large memory combine to give almost instant response when working with your smartphone. Tapping the screen, and then see a pop-up window, or caused by an interface element. Previous Note and Galaxy, and so fast, but this is even faster. I do not know what to compare it, unique to Android for speed is not there. And the iPhone is not purely visual way fast.
Under Note 7 updated line of accessories, but this must be discussed separately. In general, the device has turned out like his and waited – an ultimatum, without any flaws, licked at the stage of prototyping. We can only wait until 2 August to discuss the already formal presentation Note 7 and its characteristics. Here I stopped for the most important, in my opinion, unlike the previous model, and that deserves attention.
