Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has been officially presented but has not attracted the attention of fans, disappointed for having waited a phablet virtually identical in features, and to some extent also in design, the last top the Korean manufacturer’s range. That’s why we decided to create a comparison on paper that will have as its protagonists the new Galaxy Note 7 and Galaxy S7 Edge , the terminal that most resembles the phablet which we told you everything in this article.
The reason? Find out the real differences between the data sheets of the two and clarify things for users to direct them to the purchase of the device that best suits him.
DESIGN . Samsung has chosen to stake everything on the design started with Galaxy S6 and S7 and S7 improved with Galaxy Edge. The latter notes 7 and, in fact, share the construction of the shell, molded by using aluminum and glass , Gorilla Glass 5 of 7 notes, and shaped in curves thanks to a 3D thermoforming process. The result is a smartphone from smooth lines and harmonious with each other despite the protrusion of the camera.
An even more pronounced feeling of Galaxy Note 7 which is also slightly curved along the vertical edges . Both are water resistant: to a maximum depth of 1.5 meters to a maximum of 30 minutes, and to the powder. Same goes for the S Pen Galaxy Note 7, and can only be inserted one way. As for the colors, the latest model will be chosen in the Blue Coral colors, Titanium Silver and Black Onyx and S7 Edge in Black Onyx, White Pearl, Gold Platinum, Titanium Silver and Pink.
DISPLAY . On both devices the designers have worked to ensure the best screen-surface ratio. Galaxy Note 7 begins with a Super AMOLED screen 5.7-inch diagonal , 1440 x 2560 pixel resolution and 518 PPI that covers the 80,94% of the surface. All protected by the new glass Gorilla Glass 5 2.5D . Galaxy S7 Edge, however, covers the screen with only 76.09% of the surface.
The panel is always a Super AMOLED display with 1440 x 2560 pixels but 5.5-inch and 534 PPI . Two panels with smart curved edges on both sides and Always-On feature that shows continuous time and date, even if the phone is on standby. All without having to unlock the smartphone or enter the main screen. A feature that, because of the presence of the S Pen on the Galaxy Note 7, includes the Always On Memo function that allows you to take notes on the display in standby mode.
CHIPSET . What disappointed most users was the lack of news on the front of the processor it remains the same Galaxy S7 Edge without leaving room for a more advanced chip and performing. L ‘ Exynos 8890 is still a good System On Chip , directly self-produced by Samsung, and offering a CPU Octa Core with two cluster . The first, with custom design 64bit ARMv8 uses four cores to 2.3 GHz high-performance ARM Cortex-A72 of derivation, for the toughest workloads, while the second cluster, four-core Cortex-A53 type to 1.6 Ghz, is dedicated to saving energy without ever being subdued.
to support the CPU in operations there are the GPU ARM Mali-T880 mp12 and 4 GB of RAM LPDDR4 . They not have come out yet but reliable benchmark in performance products should be equivalent throughout unless the developers have not introduced specific optimizations. Interesting is the presence of the scanners iris of Notes 7 , directly managed by the SoC, which unlocks the screen by scanning and comparing the biometric data of the iris of the owner.
‘iris user must be at a distance of between 25 and 35 cm and there must be more than good lighting environment so that the scanning functions properly. Connectivity on both includes Smart Ready Bluetooth 4.2, Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac, NFC, A-GPS, LTE and HSPA + 21/42 Mbps.
MEMORY . Samsung offers the Galaxy Note 7 64 GB of internal memory expandable up to 256 UFS 2.0 GB thanks to support for MicroSD cards. Samsung on the other hand offers the Galaxy S7 Edge cuts 32 and 64 GB, always type UFS 2.0 and expandable. At least on paper because the actual Samsung Italy has not been distributed in our country versions 64GB.
MULTIMEDIA SECTOR . The number one Samsung, recommended by their engineers, they chose not to introduce changes to the two cameras introduced with Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, considered by fans around the world among the best in the mobile field. This is why the media sector, Notes between 7 and Galaxy S7 Edge, there are no differences . Both have a rear camera with Dual Pixel sensor 12 MegaPixel .
Here, all the pixels on the image sensor have two photodiodes instead of one, allowing the camera to to focus with the same speed and precision of the human eye. Combined with this technology there is a lens with focal aperture F / 1.7 can capture much more light, even compared to OnePlus for photos always vivid and full of detail even in low light conditions. At the software level, there are many features such as Motion to capture the sliding movements in the panoramas.
the still picture the landscape is a uniform sequence of the clearest frame of the Motion version. To relive the magical moment, just scroll down the screen or repeating the side panning with your smartphone. Or the Motion Photo feature that captures the three seconds before shooting, and allows you to choose the moment to keep. Finally, the ability to use the screen as the front for self-portraits with flash 5 megapixel cam .
In fact a small difference and as the presence Notes 7 on a new DNIe mobile chips inherited directly from the TV the same manufacturer and optimizes battery consumption when active video playback HDR streaming. Samsung Galaxy Note 7, in fact, will be the first smartphone on the market to support this technology to stream that Samsung has made possible thanks to an agreement with Amazon who runs one of the online streaming services with HDR content.
Battery . The autonomy discourse is always particularly difficult to treat because it deserves a simultaneous testing of all three terminals. different batteries for a hundred mAh, in fact, can safely be equivalent because the major differences in these cases depend mostly from the screen and from the processor. But in this specific case, the System On Chip is the same as the display technology .
Galaxy Note 7 begins with a Battery 3500 mAh while Galaxy S7 Edge, despite the smaller screen, has one supplied 3600 mAh . Both the batteries still support the Quick Charge technology that reduces the charging time: 100 minutes for Galaxy S7 Edge and a little less for the Notes 7 with MicroUSB Type-C. It also has wireless charging .
OPERATING SYSTEM . Android is the operating system of both smartphones that specifically also share the same software version: 6.0.1 Marshmallow (on S7 Edge is available as an upgrade). You can say the same for the user experience: very similar because the developed and applied by the manufacturer interface is pretty much the same, although the latest model features a number of innovations that is not excluded may come as well as upgrade of S7 Edge.
specifically, the TouchWiz has been revised completely to be lighter and more practical to use; especially with the S Pen. There is, in fact, the feature Translate , which translates texts in any language by hovering over the S Pen, Magnify , which magnifies the texts with the same gesture, Glance , which allows you to switch between apps at by clicking on the thumbnails with the S Pen, and Samsung Note that collects in one place all the notes taken with the S Pen.
Both devices, however, because of the curved edges can display up to 9 panels to have direct access to everything you need: from calling a taxi to see the sports news. With Apps edge, for example, you can create up to 10 shortcuts to apps and folders.
TAKE WHAT, WHO WINS, WHO LOSES
Overall, the two terminals are equivalent from the performance point of view but some aspects, analyzed individually, they can push the purchase of one rather than the other. This is the case of the presence of the scanners iris and S Pen , with the tip smaller and more precise thanks to 4096 levels, for the new Galaxy Note 7 offering innovative user experience but also practical and intelligent.
Another factor to keep in mind is the price, with Galaxy S7 Edge that has already suffered the classic devaluation and is available online at prices ranging from 569 to 699 € while Galaxy Note 7, arriving in Italy on September 2, has an MSRP of 879 € . The first, therefore, is by far the cheapest. Choose which one to buy it anyway to the end user who will evaluate this according to your needs. Finally, here is a table that compares the data sheets of the three devices.
