Still a couple Snapdragon 820 or Exynos 8890

Like the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge before it, there will be two versions of this new model in the range Note: a version with Snapdragon 820, reserved (for now) the US market, and a version with Exynos 8890 for Europe and part of Asia.

We waited with the Snapdragon 821 , but it will not happen: the SoC used for this version is finally also the same as the Galaxy S7 before them. And like them, we will have the right to Exynos 8890 by at home in France.

There are not afraid of a lack of power, however: facing the 820, the 8890 Exynos comes to equal surpass see some performances of the last of Qualcomm.

"Only" 4 GB of RAM

Although it was rumored that the Galaxy Note 7 is equipped with 6 GB of RAM, the official announcement confirmed that "only" 4 GB of RAM LPDDR4 be used for high-end PHABLET. A strange choice, when we know that Samsung has already created chips 12 and 6 go .

One might think that this is a production issue, that they are not yet ready for the market ... but it is not. On the contrary, many Chinese manufacturers have already adopted them, including 1+ and OnePlus 3.

Screen 5.7-inch curved edges

Although a prototype of Galaxy Note is 7 classic version, Samsung has chosen to make the design of the "Edge +" common to the Note range from the new model. If you do not like the curved screens, so you do not have a choice.

However, this is an excellent screen as the builder gave us used to have. This is a 5.7 inch Super AMOLED HD quad being the first to benefit from the technology Gorilla Glass 5 giving it a foolproof resistance. It also has the Always On Display.

Besides Display Mate already has named the Note 7 as the smartphone with the best screen in the world . As regards the technology Gorilla Glass 5, we can see its effectiveness in this first drop test.

A software novelty of importance, however, made its entry: the ability to change the definition of the fly screen , to maintain a minimum battery if necessary. A feature that we hope to find in most smartphones later, both Quad HD may be laughable to some.

Another new Galaxy Note 7 will support the HDR videos that allow much better contrasts.Although the technology is a plus, it is difficult to think that it will make a real difference on a small screen. Especially as the HDR contents are still rare.

You do not change a design that works

On the design side, it is very simple: the Galaxy Note 7 yet resumed once the S7 features, without real change. Hardly does one notice the port dedicated S Pen, while the rest is a copy of its big brother.

And this is not a quality or a defect. The design of the S7 Edge is already very good in itself, that is if you will be sensitive. However, this is a very logical move on the part of the manufacturer, which has made it clear its offer for consumers.
