After a general handling of the Galaxy Note 7 place that marks the difference. This new 5.7-inch smartphone is full, it is they who allow such to distinguish the Galaxy S7 Edge, whose technical configuration is largely identical (same Exynos processor in particular) and the screen diagonal of 5.5 inch smaller sentence.
