The first thing that you’ll notice with the smartphone is that the Galaxy Note7 now packs a dual edge display and of course, it still has the premium materials and striking design that was seen in the previous flagship smartphones from Samsung.

As expected, the Samsung Galaxy Note7 will still have an S Pen and of course, it has been enhanced. There’s a 0.7mm tip and the pressure sensitivity has been improved. You can now also create and share GIF animations with Smart Select. Also, there’s the Air Command which lets you magnify and translate.

One of the best features to be added on the Samsung Galaxy S7 is the IP68 water resistant and not only that the smartphone supports it but also the S Pen which gives you a peace of mind even when you want to use your S Pen under the rain.

Samsung has also added its security by adding the iris scanning technology which gives more authentication options that you can use making a purchase or to apps and other services. This is also the first smartphone to USB Type-C. Samsung has finally given up and joined the USB Type-C club and if you’re a VR fan, you don’t have to worry because there will be a new Gear VR that is made for the Samsung Galaxy Note7.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 will be available this August 20 and it will be offered in Gold Platinum and Black Onyx.
