Samsung unveils the new Galaxy Note7: The intelligent smartphone that thinks big

SAMSUNG Electronics has continued to drive the smartphone market with the Galaxy Note7 by building on the company’s category-defining leadership with innovative features that set a new standard for large-screen devices. Featuring a refined craftsmanship, premium materials and a unique, symmetrical edge design, the Galaxy Note7 strikes a balance between work and play, enabling people to achieve more than what they thought possible on a smartphone.

Speaking at the company’s unpacked event that held in New York City, DJ Koh, President of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics said that the new Galaxy Note7 features a water resistant body and S Pen (IP68), top-of-the-line security that combines Samsung Knox with biometric authentication including a new iris scanning feature and an immersive entertainment, which features HDR video streaming capabilities.

“The Galaxy Note7 combines productivity and entertainment, with strong security features. Powering a robust ecosystem, it is the ideal device for those who want to achieve more in life. Life moves faster than ever now so we created the Galaxy Note7 to help users get things done more easily wherever, whenever,” Koh added.

The enhanced Galaxy Note7 S Pen is more than just a writing tool it is the gateway to getting more done efficiently and accurately. Users can bring ideas to life the moment inspiration strikes without unlocking the screen by using Screenoff memo and simply pinning the memo to the AlwaysOn Display. In addition, the new Air Command functions, including Magnify and Translate, enable users to zoom in on the screen or convert languages with a simple hover of the S Pen. It is even easier to access the best of the S Pen’s creative abilities with Samsung Notes, a new unified app allowing users to jot down handwritten notes, draw, or edit memos from one location.

The new S Pen writes with ease and precision. The smaller 0.7mm tip and improved pressure sensitivity provides a real pen-like experience. With the peace of mind that IP68 water resistant provides, the Galaxy Note7 S Pen lets users jot down their thoughts without interruption, even when the screen gets wet.

Coupled with Samsung Knox, an industry-leading security platform, the Galaxy Note7 provides heightened security and privacy, with highly advanced biometric authentication, including fingerprint scanner and iris scanning technology. Galaxy Note7 also features a new level of user confidence with Secure Folder, a separated folder that adds an extra layer of authentication to keep private and personal information safe.
The device features a gorgeous, curved 5.7-inch QHD Super AMOLED screen delivering a bold and immersive picture on a smartphone. It is ready to stream HDR video, enabling a cinema-like experience including brighter colors and a deeper black, which ensure users get the full experience that the filmmaker intended.

Galaxy Note7’s incredible Super AMOLED screen and powerful processor delivers an ultra-immersive experience. The vast and ever-growing library of apps, photos, games and more, puts users in the center of the action. Whether it’s next level gaming or journeying to places users have never been before, there’s always something new to discover.
