South
Korean tech giant, Samsung has launched the Galaxy Note 7 smartphone in India.
The phone, which was globally announced last week has been priced at Rs 59,900.
Samsung
also launched the GearFit 2 fitness band and the icon X wireless earbuds along
with the smartphone.
Pre-orders
starts today and the phone will start shipping from September 2.
The
Galaxy Note 7 is an annual celebration of the best Samsung has to offer. The
Galaxy Note series has traditionally combined all the best features of the
Galaxy line-up, along with the proprietary S-pen, Samsung's smart stylus.
The
Galaxy Note 7 integrates tonnes of great features seen in the Galaxy S7 Edge,
including the processor, RAM and the rear camera. But even with similar
features under the hood, the Note 7 sits above the S7 and the S7 Edge in the
Galaxy line up because of a superior display and enhanced privacy features.
With
a 5.7-inch Quad HD screen, the Galaxy Note 7 maintains the phablet form factor.
The Super AMOLED display also comes protected with the latest Corning Gorilla
Glass 5. The screen is curved at the edges, but unlike the previous curved
screens seen in the Note Edge 2 and S7 Edge, the metal body and glass bends
together, giving it a 3D finish. This screen has also been rated by the folks
at display mate as the best one ever, and it's also capable of playing back HDR
video.
This
is also the first Galaxy Note to come with IP68 dust and water resistant rating
which makes the device waterproof over 1.5 metres and 30 minutes.
Under
the hood, it's the same 64-bit Exynos 8890 octa-core processor we've seen in
the S7 Edge and with 4GB of RAM.
The
camera is also borrowed from the S7 Edge- the highly capable dual pixel
12-Megapixel rear camera with f/1.7 wide lens and smart optical image
stabilization, phase detection auto focus and LED flash. The front camera is
5-megapixel with a f/1.7 wide angle lens.
The
Galaxy Note 7 also packs some nifty security features. Apart from the
fingerprint scanner, there is an iris sensor which scans your eyes to unlock
the phone.
The
S-pen too wasn't left behind. The S-pen is now thinner and more precise and thanks
to the newly updated firmware, the S-pen can now magnify any content, translate
written notes and make GIFs from any video in just a few simple taps. It's also
water resistant.
The
phone is also the first Samsung phone to feature a USB-Type C port which is
backwards compatible with the older USB ports.
The
battery on the Note 7 is a 3500mAh behemoth. Although its nothing close to the
5,000mAh smartphones that are in vogue this year, optimizations under the hood
makes it last a day (almost).
As
with all Samsung products, with great specs, comes a hefty price tag and the
Galaxy Note 7 is rather expensive. But it's also premium as hell.
