Samsung has unveiled its new Galaxy Note 7, a smartphone 5.7-inch premium that does not lack qualities. The market does not lack of competition and therefore we are entitled to ask whether the price – dare we say, quite high – 850 euros is justified or not. Compare it with the Huawei Mate 8 or iPhone 6S Plus and Nexus 6P to have the heart net.

Big screen, but small size
Since the Galaxy S6, Samsung treats especially the design of its devices and tries to instill a premium design. For the Galaxy Note 7, this requires among other small dimensions despite its large 5.7 inch screen. With only 153 mm high, 73.9 mm wide, it is more compact than its competitors from 5.7 to 6 inches, sometimes about 5 mm, which is significant to optimize ergonomics the unit and make it more pleasant to use.
its screen meanwhile resumed, apart from its size, the features of the S7 that we already know very well. So we end up facing a Super AMOLED with curved edges definition WQHD. Aside from the Nexus 6P including slab lacked accuracy in color, its other competitors like Huawei Mate 8 More iPhone 6s or the Xiaomi Mi Note do not offer the same display finesse.
Finally, its curved edges give it a significant unique style, although for once, it’s a detail that remains at the discretion of each.
top performance
Just like its little brother, the Galaxy S7, the Galaxy Note 7 is equipped with a Exynos processor 8890 accompanied by 4GB of RAM. Between his octo-core CPU cores composed of Cortex-A72 high-performance and GPU Mali-T880MP12, the Galaxy S7 easily crushes Mate 8, the Nexus 6P or Mi Note in all its uses, whether calculations or graphic displays. It therefore seems obvious that the Galaxy Note 7 should follow exactly the same path and position itself as the most powerful PHABLET the time.
It is difficult however to objectively compare the Note 7 with iPhone 6s Moreover, the two smartphones running different operating systems. US appliance Note also that should show less than pixels on the screen, leaving him more power for the rest when really hungry applications.
A promising photo sensor
as for raw performance, the picture of the Galaxy Note 7 should be identical – except unannounced subtlety – that of Galaxy S7. We can again be based on the results of the latter to form an idea of the qualities of the new Korean smartphone.
read on FrAndroid: Photo comparison: Samsung Galaxy S7 facing the Nexus 6P and Galaxy S6
in most areas, the Galaxy S7 is positioned in front of its competition , whether the Nexus 6P, Mate 8 or iPhone 6S. The reference site DxOMark positions elsewhere Korean first place (alongside the HTC Xperia X 10 and Performance) with a score of 88 out of 100, against 84 for the iPhone 6S Plus and Nexus 6P. This excellent result is also the consequence of his very bright lens (f / 1.7) and its large photosites.
Two points should be emphasized, however, that the colorimetry of images, whose treatment may -be slightly more natural at Apple, and the definition, down compared to the Mate 8 with only 12 against 16 Megapixels Megapixels to Chinese.
the real highlight is its stylus
apart from its many advantages, the Galaxy Note 7 also has its own peculiarity: its stylus. Hallmark of this range, the S Pen brings a real added value to this smartphone with a large screen is also well thought for practical use as playful. This new generation is more that brings many improvements at this level, such as taking notes on the screen even in sleep, creating GIF, while incorporating many features already available on previous iterations. Moreover, this stylus to use the same phone when wet, a significant advantage, especially for a waterproof camera (IP68).
Neither 6P Nexus or the iPhone 6s or More Mate 8 does offer such a utility in series, forcing interested in procuring a third brand pen (which can not be directly stored in the phone), as well as adequate software suite. Suffice to say that Samsung wins this round hands down.
The battery, its only weakness?
the battery of the Galaxy Note 7 is 3500 mAh, which is already relatively significant, especially as the Note 5 had been entitled to 3000 mAh. This is still lower than 200 mAh that offers the Galaxy S7 edge, and 500 mAh compared to 8. Mate software optimization plays an important role in this area, it is difficult to predict as this new PHABLET react in use daily, but we can already imagine that it can be more low in this area that the 8 or Mate iPhone 6s, who gets his side very well with only 2915 mAh with its less intensive components.
A further test will nevertheless be necessary to really judge that and know what it is exactly about the autonomy of the Galaxy Note 7.
Conclusion
on almost every point, the Galaxy Note 7 is necessary, on paper at least, as the best smartphone on the big screen moment. However, certain details remain to be verified during further testing to really judge its behavior in all situations. Its price of 849 euros remains an element that weighs in the balance as its competitors on the market for longer, are available at lower cost, with the exception of the iPhone 6s More whose call price is 859 euros with only 16 GB of internal memory.
in addition, the Galaxy Note 7 will also have to deal with a major competitor, the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 which, although officially qu’indisponible in France, already promises great things.
