th2 August 2016 Samsung presented its new Galaxy Note7, the most elegant we've seen from the South Korean manufacturer. This phrase has a certain tone of deja vu. I may have used the same expression when I saw the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge first. Of course, the resemblance to the Galaxy Note 7 is striking, and they even jumped the number six for the two devices have the same number. In this article we will take a first look at the most striking differences between the two devices and examine them in more details in the future.
Galaxy S7 edge vs Galaxy Note7: design
The Galaxy S7 edge and the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 are two expressions of the same dream. Note the range usually born six months after that of the Galaxy S. This is a sufficient period to see if the Samsung spearhead was successful or not.
With the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge has been a turning point in the design of the Samsung smartphone that even today, 18 months later, still a stir. Let's go back a little further back. The Galaxy S5 was a good smartphone and innovations with its USB 3.0 port and a fingerprint reader. But let's be honest, it was not pretty. Six months later came the Note 4, which was a success. He had a similar hardware with its nuances, but it was elegant.
The Note 7 confirms that Samsung knows that users are punishing if beauty and design are not the expectations. In the last two generations of the two lines, we could see that the design of smartphones and PHABLET has approached more and more. Samsung went to increase the number up to 7 Note that the differences are even less important.
The Galaxy S7 edge has only two different things in relation to Note 7. The main one is that it has no S Pen, obvious thing because it is the hallmark of the Note. The other big difference is that its USB port is still of type B, while the Note 7 gets in tune upscale 2016 incorporating a type of port C. This makes the use of Note 7 incompatible with helmet VR virtual reality, but to solve this problem, a new version of the headset will be released soon.
An innovative aspect introduced by Note 7 is his new iris scanner. Apparently it is much safer than the release by fingerprints, but its ease of use and efficiency is what really makes the difference. We will have to evaluate in a more in-depth analysis. For the moment, we recognize the good intentions of Samsung to bring more security to their devices.
Another point of contention between the Note 7 and S7 edge is the size difference. The screen of the Galaxy S7 is 5.5 inches, while the diagonal of Note 7 reaches 5.7 inches, as usual. The size difference is not very large but is evident. Another difference we can note is that the upper and lower frames of the rating are slightly wider than the S7 edge.
At first glance, the only difference between the two devices in terms of design, respect the edges of Note 7 that its less curved than the S7 edge.
Galaxy S7 edge vs Galaxy Note 7: screen
Both screens have the same curves, the same technology and the same resolution, but the larger size of the screen Note 7 that its pixel density is slightly lower. The great novelty of the Note 7 is the new Corning Gorilla Glass 5. This is the first device to include this type of safety glass, which is waiting to see the end of the year, but to our surprise is already available.
Galaxy S7 edge vs Galaxy Note 7: Software and performance
The Galaxy Note 7 and S7 both feature the same processor and the same amount of RAM. In the US market the Note 7 will have a Snapdragon 820 and Europe with a Exynos 8890 with 4GB of RAM, like the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge.
With this material, the S7 edge was the most powerful device yet but six months later, the crown passed into different hands, including those of OnePlus 3 with 6 GB of RAM. Of course, the fact that Note 7 share the same components as the S7, it will be difficult to stand out.
The version of TouchWiz with which the Note 7 will be delivered is based on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. This can be a disadvantage because the new version of Android is about to happen. It is expected this month, and we do not know how long Nougat will arrive on the edge Note 7. The S7 is almost in the same situation, with the difference that came out six months ago and not a few weeks before the new version of Android.
Galaxy S7 edge vs Galaxy Note 7: camera
The S7 edge of the camera is simply spectacular. It may be that specialists prefer quality cameras from other smartphones, but the S7 edge of the camera is the one that fits best to the needs of the majority of users, providing a high quality.
The Note 7 could not do less, and as was the case with the Galaxy Note 5, it will also integrate the camera the flagship of his generation. This is a camera with Dual Pixel sensor with a resolution of 12 megapixels.
Galaxy S7 edge vs Galaxy Note 7: battery
Usually, a larger smartphone takes advantage of the extra space he has to place a larger battery. But there is no one like Samsung to go against the tide. Surprisingly, Note 7 has less battery than the Galaxy S7 edge. It has a battery of 3500 mAh 100 mAh less than the edge S7. There is not much difference between the two, but it was interesting to note that the battery capacity has been reduced.
Therefore, autonomy does not find in improved compared to S7 edge, quite the contrary. Apparently the location to receive the S Pen uses so much space that Samsung's move the battery and reduce the same.
