Galaxy Note 7 alienated the masses as a failed gadget for security reasons. Who wants to carry in your pocket a phone that could explode? Which in this case may be alternatives to this device? Unfortunately, not so much. Still, in terms of the technological component of the smartphone was brilliant.
Series Galaxy S8
While the Galaxy series S8 2017 does not officially exist, but we know that Samsung releases a new generation of its flagship early in the year. Usually in March. So this year the South Korean company though, and missed the announcement of a new flagship for the world mobile world Congress in late February, but in March, just introduce a new flagship. More precisely, a number of devices.
What we expect from the new flagship of the company? While Samsung only promises that it will not explode. To safe batteries the company made every effort. In addition, the leak suggests that the entire series S8 will have curved screen edges and ultra-modern inside. Also smartphones will get the new version of the S Pen stylus. We don’t think the phone will be something to give the Galaxy Note 7.
Galaxy Note 5
If you look at the past, it is possible to pay attention to the predecessor. Note 6 was not released. The company has over one number. So that left only a Note 5, and another in 2015. But the smartphone also offers a stylus, though no curved edges on the screen. Should take and the presence of the scanner of the iris and GIF labels. Why not? MicroSD slot, USB-C and water resistance. The processor is two generations older too will not be happy. But the phone is much cheaper: retail goes for around 550-580 $ . But it soon will fall, as will the new generation of devices from the company. But the flagship of the Note 7 was offered at a price of around 850 $ .
Samsung Galaxy S7 edge
Much preferable is Galaxy S7 edge. He has the same bent from two sides of the screen. And though there is no support for stylus Samsung is still equipped with its advanced hardware and the ability to charge wirelessly. And fast. Only need to purchase the dock. In addition, this phone also offers a cheaper for 790 $ . And this price tag will soon crawl down. Waiting for March.
Google Pixel XL
Finally, go to the competitors. And worthy looks at the background Note 7 tablet from Google. And the main emphasis is made on software, not hardware. Android Nougat with a new personal assistant Google Assistant may be attractive. No branded skins like Samsung.
There are downsides: you’ll have to abandon function Key Note 7 to lose the stylus, card slot microSD memory and water resistance. What you get in return? The star camera and the ability to use a headset virtual reality Daydream (instead of the Samsung Gear VR). About the USB-C port with fast charging also should not be forgotten. However, this gadget is also not cheap and not going to go down. At a price of 769 $ he is only a little cheaper than walking Note 7.
You may notice that we have omitted the comparison with LG Stylus 2 Plus. It was a justified move. This phone falls in the medium price category and does not possess decent technical stuffing.
