The Galaxy Note 7 now packs an all-new Gorilla Glass 5 and using the trademark Dual-Edge displays on its 5.7-inch Quad HD with 2560 x 1440 resolution, Samsung also included a kind of HDR chip that's used on their TV, which will definitely raise the standard of entertainment and work.
Next, the Note 7 has the same excellent 12MP Dual Pixel rear camera from the S7 edge as well. But with the aforementioned chip that brings out the best contrast colours on the screen, Samsung may have beaten their own game. The battery is 3500 mAh only, just 100 mAh less than the S7 edge, but at least it has USB Type-C port and wireless charging. There's also an Iris Scanner that you can use to unlock your phone as well.
