Today, the reason to write a review is very joyful, because I have a new Samsung Galaxy Note7 in my hands! I personally met each of the generations, and most of them even used as the main smartphones, so I really wonder how things are going with every new release of Galaxy Note. This is already a sixth acquaintance, but the differ in the title is "seven" to be equal to S7. Everything, about it forgot, no analytics, I just share the impressions of the device.

SumSung Galaxy Note 7 Video Review
I have already said that, because the difference between S7 Edge and Note 7 is really small. It is a stylus, USB Type C, +0.2 "at the screen, minus 100 mAh near the battery, new protective glass and a scanner of the irrigated eye. But with Note 5 differences are much more. This is a new iron, a memory card slot or for the second Sim'ka, new cameras, curved faces of the display, waterproof, it is 2 mm already, and what is the most interesting, the stylus is not inserted now back side! Plus all the differences from S7. So if you are interested, whether it is worth changing last year's Note - yes, I would change. But this is personally my opinion, the protection against moisture is very much worth it.
Design and location of elements
The design is similar to that of other "seven": it is a metal frame and glass in front and rear. But in contrast to the S-series of glass and in front, and the back is equally bent to the metal frame. Therefore, the smartphone turned out to be symmetrical.
However, I do not understand where the new USB Type-C connector was inserted and in which symmetry system? It is somehow heavily shifted to the bottom face.
But the fact itself is very pleased - for the first time, Samsung has a USB Type-C connector. It's just an epic cool! I am very much waiting for only one connector in the world.
By the location of the elements, everything is very similar to what we see in S7 Edge, except that the S-Pen stylus was added. However, some elements have changed. For example, I was pleased with the HOME key, it is now a little recessed into the frame and practically does not protrude from the housing. So, the scanner will not scratch so much as before.
The headphone jack is still in place, exhale, and a new window appeared above the display. About him a few words now and say.
Rainbow Eye Scanner
In addition to the fingerprint scanner in Note7, another level of protection has been added - a scanner of RO eyes. You add your eyes once, and then the smartphone is unlocked by scanning them. And even in complete darkness. If you look smoothly, it works very quickly, sometimes you still do not have time to notice how the scanner turned on. But in general, just a cool chip, it is unlikely to become a very popular way of unlocking, like Fais Unlock in Android.
Display
On paper it seems that differences from SGS7 EDGE are generally not enough - the screen is simply more than 0.2 ". But in practice, we also have a new Gorilla Glass 5 glass, as well as the other form of roundings on the sides. This is the most important difference, thanks to which Note7 is much more convenient to use, rather than S7 EDGE. False presses on the face is minimum, although they still happen, it is more convenient to hold in hand.
Otherwise, the characteristics are similar: Quad HD Resolution, Super Amoled Matrix. The picture in the sun remains well readable, and in general the display leaves the most pleasant impressions. Most likely, at the moment it is the most perfect screen in mobile devices.
S-PEN.
The electronic feather S-PEN has become a little better than Hardwork. In particular, the thickness of the rod itself decreased almost twice - to 0.7 mm, and the gradations of pressing are now recognized to 4000. This is twice as much as in the two previous generations, but it is unlikely to help me, it seems to me.
But some compassionate pieces are glad. Most of all I liked the opportunity to make a gif from any selected zone, whether it is a menu interface or any video. That's what it turns out:
Also, the feather can serve as a magnifying glass (not submitting use cases, to be honest), all previous chips remained. I do not remember whether it was possible before, but here it is exactly there is an icon for adding a new item to the stylus falling fan. And a whole shop to add items.
Cameras
Neither the main nor front chamber has changed at all compared to the Galaxy S7 / S7 EDGE: the main one is 12 megapixel, F1.7, pixel size 1.4 μm, optical image stabilization, video shooting up to 4K permission; Frontal - 5 MP, video shooting in 1440p.
Therefore, the photo, and the video are exactly the same, but I still made for you a few examples of photos from Galaxy Note7.
Examples of photos
But the standard camera application has undergone fundamental changes, it has become more similar to that in Huawei P9. At the latest application of the standard camera, I consider the best among everything that is in the market, now in the touchwide camera is very convenient. Swipe left to the right of the main camera modes, right to left - filters (it would be better to set up, they are still called icon), and swipes from the bottom up or on the contrary, changes the camera. The shift occurs very quickly. In general - offset.
Characteristics and PO
In terms of iron parts, all identically S7 / S7 EDGE: Exynos 8890 C or Snapdragon 820, 4 GB of RAM DDR4, 64 built-in, expandable with a map of up to 2 TB, although there are no such battery capacity of 3500 mAh. With performance, everything is clear, it is the same as in S7, but autonomy theoretically should be worse, because the display is larger, and the battery capacity is less. But judging by personal sensations, the difference is not noticeable. On the day of work, smartphone is just enough.
But Touchwiz has updated again, it is very different even from what is now in S7 / S7 EDGE. And it is not bad, updates are the opposite cool. I do not understand the other: not always these updates come to others, still actual models. For example, I'm not sure that the new touchwide will arrive at my S7 EDGE. And it is sad that samsung uses updates as a tool for luring buyers, there is always the feeling that you are no longer with such cool smartphone. I hope here I was wrong and soon the update arrives. And the changes can be traced here, then there. For example, a secure secure folder appeared to hide the content of other people's eyes, and the optimization item appeared in and the modified settings, in the curtain, all items now have drop-down function menus and so on. Well done, just do and for other smartphones!

Positioning
The attentive reader should ask the question where the sixth generation of Note is there, because a year ago in August we discussed Note 5, and then the unexpected leap to the seven numbers. The reasons for such a solution are two, which one of them prevailed is difficult to say, I think their contribution is equivalent. First, the Galaxy line always overthrew on one generation Note, as they appeared at the same time. These models come out with a difference in half a year, usually Galaxy appears in March-April, Note at the end of the summer and early autumn. And it turns out that there is a significant clearance between them. But the main thing is that later the outgoing model Note has an index per unit less. For example, after the appearance and start of sales, Galaxy S6 of all options after six months came Note 5, which for some buyers created confusion and created the perception of this model as something "old", not corresponding to the flagship. The market for the Note line has long changed outside the circle of technology enthusiasts, therefore, oddly enough, this factor plays a role. Not excess will be reminded that technologically Note has always exceeded the Galaxy line, at least half a year remained the most powerful smartphone from Samsung.
Since 2016, both sAMSUNG ruler They become the same in numbers, now the models will go with the same index, so, in 2017, Galaxy S8 will appear, and note 8 will be released. And if for Galaxy it will be the eighth generation of the device, then for NOTE only seventh, but consumers have worried about will not be.
The second reason is indirect, but for marketers it plays a role. W. apple companies On the market in September, the seventh generation of iPhone comes out, and therefore Samsung also levels the difference in perception, both companies now have the "identical" generation of devices. Is it good? In principle, it does not play roles for the majority, it is reveran as part of a part of the audience, which does not understand anything in the phones, but judges the numbers who are cooler. There are quite a lot of such people on the market, it is especially characteristic of Latin America, Mexico and countries in the part of the world, partly in the United States.
In August 2015, when Samsung showed Note 5, it became clear that the future of the Note line was in doubt, the company decided to make S6 EDGE + the main device, and Note to sell and promote the residual principle on most markets. He went out at the end of the year, that is, with a delay of several months, did not have the same support, it was originated that the Note line would want to get rid of the Note. Already in January it became clear that such SAMSUNG steps caused a very sharp reaction from buyers, they did not want to disappear the Note line and demanded that, as before, this lineup did not just exist, but gave the devices with the best engineering solutions. By the time of Announcement Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge inside Samsung already Decided that everything will be returned to the previous place and the next Note will become one of the key models for the company.
Positioning this device looks simple - this is the most powerful model from the engineering point of view, which has a large margin of safety. It is curious that the various forums still discusses the fact that Note 3 is so good that there is no point in replacing his senior models. It is clear that this is not entirely so, but in the perception of a noticeable number of people, the previous models of the Note line are not completely outdated and are in demand. For example, on trips, I often use Note 4, without experiencing any problems, this is a completely modern smartphone both by the speed of work and the version of Android (worth 6.0.1). Over the past two years, this model has not strongly passed, it may well live at least a year, providing a comfortable job. There are almost no models on the market with such a long life cycle that would not be morally obedient.
For those who are looking for the same device, devoid of compromises, this model offers this option. But, again, in contrast to previous years, the difference in technologies with the same Galaxy S7 EDGE is non-critical or invisible for most buyers, many perceive changes as cosmetic and not deserving special attention. In something, it is so, in something not.
Like any flagship from A-brand, Note 7 is suitable, however, talk about it separately at the end of the material. Let's first focus on the main points associated with this device, let's talk about impressions from long use.
Design, dimensions, control elements
With comparable sizes of differences in Ergonomics S6 and S7 were amazing, the second one went down in hand as a glove, and the first on his background was perceived as a heavenly prototype. Having mastered this trick, Samsung engineers were able to repeat it and in the Note lineup, the new flagship is perfectly in his hand, although I had no special complaints to the previous one. But the body was allocated, and due to this and beveled faces, he falls in his hand better. Many people who scolded the Note line for sizes, trying S7 Edge, somehow came to him, speaking that this device on ergonomics is different. It is on him as a prototype and focused when creating Note 7. Note size 5 - 153.2x76.1x7.6 mm, Note 7 - 153.5x73.9x7.9 mm. Another body thickness is not felt, but the fact that it is already understandable immediately. In this case, no loss in characteristics is not smaller.
In comparison with Galaxy Note 5
Very often I have to hear that people consider some phones with slippery. With Note 7 there is no such problem anywhere, with the exception of water. Having climbed into the Atlantic Ocean to take a picture of how the waves are twisted, I got some excellent photos, but the wave easily knocked the phone from the hands, and he went to his last sailing. Interestingly, within a period of one and a half days it was possible to observe on the map, as the device moves along the coast, the signal from it passed at times. I assume that sometimes it was raised by the wave from the bottom, and then he had time to convey its coordinates. But it was not possible to find it in the water. The output is simple - entering the water with Note 7, keep it tight or use the cover so that the device does not drown.
Compared to iPhone 6S Plus
In comparison with Moto Z
One of key features All Note to the top five were collapsible cases and the ability to change the battery itself. Unfortunately, in this apparatus, a monolithic case, the battery can only be replaced in the service center, which, however, is not a problem, the standard procedure and takes few minutes. Of course, if you have service center. We will talk about the battery separately, I will not rummage here, although many phrases "Battery in Note 7" causes a certain associative series.
Also in S7 / S7 EDGE, the water protection has been added, the IP68 standard is supported. You can swim with the phone, drop into the water, and in most situations there will be nothing to him. Look at the roller as S7 behaves in a tank with water.
As well as for S7 / S7 EDGE, there was an advanced protection technology here when the connectors determine whether water is in them and refuse to charge when it is detected. But, unlike S7 / S7 EDGE, the screen coating is recycled (glass - all the same Corning Gorilla Glass 4+, it is called Gorilla Glass 5 for the rest of the market), now more accurately recognize when the screen is wet.
But it is not all that, S Pen has become less, but now it can work both in water and under water (why need second, for me a big question, but perhaps someone will find application for this technology).
The slot is made sliding, there is a place for microSD memory card, slot combined (or two SIM cards, or memory card). It is possible that in certain markets Note 7 will be promoted as a DUOS, then it will be stamped on the inscription on the housing. But structurally, these devices do not differ in any way, they are the same.
Four body colors, familiar design that does not affect anything. Blue devices are not supplied to Russia.
The most popular color is black (Black Onyx - Black Onyx), it accounts for a majority of sales in all countries of the world, he also leaded in advance orders in Russia, this is about 80% of the total volume. I also like this color, and I chose it. Golden Color (Gold Platinum) Marki, it remains traces from hand, and they are clearly visible in the room. Silver (Silver Titanium) is not such a brand, but peculiar, not all it will suit. Oddly enough, the blue apparatus looks good, it is a bit more later than the same color in Note 5.
Of external changes - Replacing the MicroUSB connector on USB Type C. S7 Edge prototypes were equipped with the same connector, but at the last moment they refused it, considering that there would be no benefit from its use. In this model, it is set, this is USB 3.1 (not 2.0), that is, the data transfer rate will be maximal.
Of the minuses that moved from the previous generation in Note 7, I will note the painting of the metal mesh of the dynamics, it over time (about half a year a completely careless relationship) will begin to break. In the photo you can see my S7 EDGE.
The same is waiting for Note 7, the process did not change in any way, although the company know that this problem exists. The second weak point becomes an imprint sensor, which is not covered with even Corning Gorilla Glass, and plastic. For 4-5 months, plastic wipes, and an ugly stain appears, that's how on my S7 Edge. The same is waiting for Note 7.
These two shortcomings are very upset, as they will get the device and make it six months later, especially if you look, rather than throwing a glimpse. In the same Apple iPhone. The button with the sensor is covered with sapphire, which ensures the preservation of the appearance. Why Samsung can not do exactly the same way, I do not understand.
Compared to Galaxy S7 Edge
Unlike Note 4, where the system of three microphones is used, there are only two of them in this apparatus, they are placed on the ends. The noise reduction system works on a perfectly when conversation, the missing third microphone removed from the voice recorder the ability to recover a round table when there are several interlocutors, but the "Interview" mode remains, it works decently.
The front side of the approximation sensor, lighting, iris scanner, and a 5-megapixel camera for selfie, are all over the screen. The central key is mechanical, with an imprint sensor, it works on touch. For some reason, this key is often pressed, changed its size compared to S7 EDGE. Although this is not always happening and not everyone, I have happened in certain situations. But in general it does not create a noticeable problem.
Display
The display has a 5.7-inch diagonal, QHD resolution 2560x1440 points (518 PPI), this is a superamoled of the last generation. In the time of the S6, it seemed to me that it would be difficult to improve in screens, but in Samsung every time refute these expectations. So, as well as in S7 / S7 EDGE, Always ON mode appeared when the clock and icons about missed events are displayed on the screen. Logic changed slightly, now, in addition to call notifications and SMS, you can see icons different applications, including color icons. Another moment if you write a note on the screen, I click on its icon on Always on the display, you will see this note that convenient.
Changed the algorithm of work in the sun, the device gives more natural colors. In general, we can say that in Samsung took their perfect screen of the previous generation and made it even more colorful, better. Plus, you can change the color range at your own discretion, which gives you a wide color palette. Or adapt the screen in automatic mode. The algorithm of teaching your preferences has become a little intellectual, it is learning faster what illumination and in what situations, you prefer.
The Display Mate tested the Note 7 screen and called it with the work of art and the best screen among all mobile devices, the full palace of flights from them can be read.
And I would like to stay at a few points. First, the brightness of the backlight with automatic adjustment increased to 1000 threads, which gives a very bright and clear picture on the sun, no phone can be like that, including S7 / S7 EDGE. On the bright sun in the camera mode it is well noticeable.
Secondly, the video improvement mode appeared, in fact it is HDR mode for rollers, where this option is not originally. But if you want to look at the phone with HDR coding (HDR mode from 4K TVs), then you can do this, this option is supported for the first time on a mobile device. Of course, for the majority it will be another trick, with which they will never get acquainted, and here Samsung runs ahead of the locomotive. But it is possible to accurately say that in the future the same approach uses other companies. At the moment, such content that can be viewed using this option is practically no.
From the point of view of the quality of the screen and the pictures, the possibility of its setting under each particular person is the best apparatus in the market, which has no direct competitors. The flagships of other companies are good, but they work equally not in all conditions of lighting, here you get the maximum possible both in the sun and indoors. In a word, it is really a work of art.
Now a few words about the side of the side, for them changed the curvature of bend, and this was achieved that false positives became noticeably less. They did not dismil me on S7 Edge, but sometimes they happened, here are an order of magnitude less.
With how a side face is running, what can you do with it and which applications are installed, you can familiarize yourself.
Now let's stay on the new generation protective glass - Corning Gorilla Glass 5. A video appeared on the network, in which, using the tools, calibrated on the Moos scale, a person showed that at level 3 you can scratch a new glass from Corning, while the fourth generation was scratched only at 5-6 levels.
In Corning, these words denied, indicating that the glass on scratch resistance remained at the same level as the previous generation, it changed in the drops of drops (survival in 80% of cases when dropping from 1 meter 60 centimeters). It really is so, and breaking the device is extremely difficult, but if desired it is possible. This device crashed after a dozen drops from such a height.
There is no reason to believe Corning or the author of the roller, but it turns out a very controversial situation. Scratched the screen or not? In our roller, I scratched a knife for comparison with a knife as S7 Edge and Note 7, as a result, it was S7 EDGE that scratched. Is this something proves? Smooth account nothing. For example, in the pocket with sand, the first and second and second are guaranteed.
More than a month with my apparatus with a very careless handling of it (he wore it with the keys, threw in the sand and so on) he got small, imperceptible scratches on the screen, and it happened only after a beach pastime. In all other situations, the screen showed himself no worse than the previous model. People who are worried about the appearance of small scratches, which is visible only near, do not feel with your finger, do not affect the quality of the image display, I am surprised. I am sure that they are trying on insurance to change bumpers in their cars, if there is a small, barely distinguishable scratch. Forgetting that the bumper is created to be covered with scratches and serve protection. I do not want to persuade anyone, but I am sure that in two or three years of using the phone, no serious problems with his screen will not appear in terms of scratch. The problem is very far-fetched and akin to bent in the back pockets of the iPhone, there is no practical meaning for consumers. For those who worry and shakes at their own screen, there are stickers from mineral glass that will protect the display. But I believe that glue protection for protection is stupid, it is also how to wrap a suitcase at the airport to the film in order to preserve its appearance. The only task of the film is to make so that in your suitcase will not climb the thieves, but the preservation of the appearance of the suitcase is utopia. Although W. different people Various views on this question.
Memory, RAM, memory card, chipset, performance
It was originally assumed that this device will receive 6 GB of RAM and a new mechanism of memory distribution will be used depending on the load. But it was decided to abandon it and leave this technology for the 8th or even 9th generation of devices. At the request of Google, since the company did not have time to make the necessary superstructures in Android and wants all flagships within one year the opportunity.
Total amount of RAM - 4 GB. This is enough for all tasks for all. The type of memory has not changed, it is LPDDR4 (technical process 10 nm). Very often, people complain that after downloading the smartphone, a small amount of RAM is available, which shows a complete ignorance of the question and how memory is distributed in Android. The occupied memory does not affect the performance of the system, the ability to perform certain tasks. Therefore, the parameter itself is how much memory is busy, it is useless to evaluate anything, he does not speak anything to a smooth account.
The minimum amount of pre-installed memory becomes 64 GB, plus the MicroSD memory cards of any volume are available (Samsung guarantee memory cards to 256 GB). It is said that some operators will sell versions of 128 GB, but this is exotic, the overwhelming majority of the devices will be released by 64 GB.
Now a few words about chipsets. The device comes out in two versions, for the American market and pairs of operators outside it - on Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 (maximum frequency - 2.3 GHz, a bunch of virtual parrots in Antutu). For most parts of the world, the device will be released on exynos 8893, the frequency here is up to 2.7 GHz, with less heating and more time work, plus the camera algorithms, energy saving are better implemented. The distinction in time of operation between these chipsets at the same load can reach 20-25 percent. Of course, it all depends on your device usage scenarios, but, nevertheless, it is a rather tangible difference. The presence of a version from Qualcomm is a tribute to the American market and the choice of operators.
The performance of the solution remains high, it is one of the most powerful smartphones, which you can make sure if you look at the results of synthetic tests. They do not reflect real performance in life, and it is enough for the eyes to anyone. No slow-moving, slow work and the like.
Battery
Battery capacity - 3500 mAh. It was assumed that Note 7 will receive a new type of battery, the same as in J7 2016, but at the last moment in the company all played back, the same battery is used as in Galaxy S7 EDGE, albeit slightly less capacity. Apparently, the rejection of new technologies is associated with the fact that Note 7 as a whole decided not to be used them, but to keep them for subsequent devices. Nevertheless, some technical solutions in Note 7 are still there, previously they have not met.
So, in power saving mode, you can first change the screen resolution, for example, go from QHD to FullHD, which will reduce the load on the graphics subsystem and will give you a plus 15-20% of the time of operation with the same characteristics (screen brightness, all programs, etc. d.).
If you look at the performance of the device in this mode, it will slightly grow.
This is an interesting way to extend the phone's time, and at the same time choose the screen resolution that you are comfortable and which you consider sufficient. In my opinion, most consumers will remain on the original QHD-resolution, but someone can choose another. Other manufacturers have this option yet, since it requires the complex integration of the OS and the display software.
Now let's dwell on the time of work of commercial devices. It all did not change in any way compared to Note 5, it is a day of work, and in the same modes and at the same load. It turns out that at the middle backlight you will receive (automatic adjustment), 3.5-4 hours of screen operation and full work day. Video playback on the maximum brightness - about 13 hours.
It is a pity, but the miracle did not happen, and the device is quite comparable to the same S7 EDGE, it is a confident day of work when loading. If we talk about those who save and squeezes everything possible from the phone, uses not very bright backlight, then you can achieve two days of confident work in mixed mode.
Also, as before, there is a fast charge, it has become a little faster (half of the charge in 25 minutes). Wireless fast charging (WPC / PMA) is supported.
Battery ignition, replacement Note 7 and review worldwide
I am sure that you have repeatedly heard that Note 7 explode. This is devoted to a separate material, which describes the causes and effects, as well as the company's actions for a free replacement of devices.
The situation with marriage is unprecedented, and Samsung did not become smaller, but stopped selling the device around the world, and those who had already bought the phone offered a free replacement for devices from a new party, with another marking. Moreover, if we talk about Russia, then all bought gray devices can exchange them for free on PCT, in the company since the second half of September will do it.
The devices from the party with a potential marriage were not supplied to Russia, so those who received their phones pre-orders them can use them. Or can change them to new since next week. All new parties overlook the updated marking, devices from the first parties are seized, and they will not be on the market in any form. The media history around the flammable Note 7 is very inflated, while it is possible to encounter this problem only in the United States or South Korea and with a certain order of action (first it is necessary to burn the charge controller with non-original charging). Given that only updated devices will go on sale, there is no special problem, it concerns only the first parties. Polls show that there are no mass failures from the purchase of Note 7, moreover, less than 2% of buyers refused to have been refused from preliminary orders, which speaks for itself. Another thing is that in Russia as an apology for transferring delivery times with the phone give a set of accessories in addition to Gear Fit 2.
The media story loop will still reach for Note 7 for a long time, but it is hardly able to hit the device for sales of the device. Lost only and a half months, which went to exchange, then selling will go in the usual mode.
Scanner iris eye
One of the key changes is the iris scanner of the eye, this method allows you to unlock the device without touching it. I recalled the work of the scanner on ideology what we saw on Lumia 950/950 XL. In the glasses you or without that, there is no difference, look at the device, and it recognizes your iris and unlocks. It takes less a second. This method is unmistakable and works very quickly, can compete with fingerprint. Of the minuses - a slightly more power consumption, but for convenience you need to pay?
If the run-in this technology in Note 7 will show that it is interesting to the public and is in demand, then it may appear in S8 / S8 EDGE. Although it is possible that it will be one device, and not two models.
S Pen - Feature Features, New Programs and Styles
At the Note 7 presentation, they talked about the updated S Pen in detail, I will try to reflect the most important points. I will start with the fact that most people consider S Pen an additional and almost unnecessary thing, use the stylus embedded in the body, very rarely. On the other hand, there is a creative minority, which is accustomed to the handles, likes to draw, and, on the contrary, does not release s Pen from the hands, creates beautiful drawings, sketches, in one word, constantly uses the stylus. Understand each other these two categories of people will never be able to have too different tasks and needs. Unfortunately, draw something other than a stick-stick-circle, and in the end of the little man, I never learned, so I treat myself to most without special artistic tanks.
For me, S Pen is the ability to leave a quick note, write on the screen, without even unlocking the phone. It is very useful at meetings when you need to remember something and do not need to record in the notebook. Short notes on the run, which are also synchronized with the cloud.
But, perhaps, the most important thing is the ability to make a screenshot of a page that does not fit on the entire screen. The function appeared in Note 5, she was not useful for me to show some kind of things, instantly send them as a single file, and not broken pages.
Other important moment - This is the ability to make a screenshot anywhere on the screen and immediately draw something on it, cut a piece. It is also interesting for those who work with graphics and similar things.
From useful will also tell about the ability to recognize text in the pictures, that is, you have everything that you have photographed or made a screenshot, not only as graphics, from there you can take out the text. In my work, this is an indispensable tool.
The new chip is the translation of individual words, in this mode, you install the transfer direction and you can score any words that will immediately be shown. Google engine is used, the function is pleasant for those who study or constantly rewrite in different languages, not always having a dictionary at hand.
The fact that S Pen began to work under water, in my opinion, nonsense. It is unlikely that the scuba wheels will use the phone at diving, and at a depth of two meters it will just give to flow. But what can be written in the rain is already a real application scenario, which is easy to imagine.
The pen physically became slightly smaller, the recognition accuracy increased, as before, 2048 degrees of pressing were taken into account. In the S Note application, the drawing mode appeared when you can mix the colors, it was not before.
In the first part of the Note 5, the bloggers have created problems that the pen can be inserted not to the end in the connector. In what kind of signing you need to be to do this, it is not clear, but then the design has changed. In Note 7, an attempt to insert not the end of S Pen will not give anything, the pen just does not enter the slot.
I can not say that I am very actively using S Pen, sometimes it happens that I don't get it for several days, sometimes it draws something in the screenshots a couple of times a day, cut pictures. But I can say for sure that it helps me faster to perform the routine tasks, with whom I come across from time to time. On other phones, nothing like this is not. The recognition of the handwriting text became noticeably better, but this, in my opinion, is not as convenient, how to just drive the text on the keyboard, though, perhaps, someone considers the opposite. I am confident that people writing every year becomes less and less. And therefore, S Pen is not so much for the letter, how much to perform the tasks in which the stylus is difficult to replace with your finger.
Camera
Formally, these are the same cameras that we have seen in S7 / S7 EDGE, in fact it is improved by the image processing algorithm, the difference is not fundamental, but it is. Autofocus works instantly, however, and on the S7 he was so. By increasing productivity, the processing of images and video goes at times faster. As well as changed both the stabilization algorithm, it is sharper when shaking. This is one of the best cameras In the market, I would like to compare it with the iPhone 7 plus, but we will do it in October. For the time being you can see examples of photos and video from the device. Due to the updated screen, the photos on it look markedly better than on the S7 edge, but it is the impact of the picture on the display, on the PC the difference you will not find, or it will be minimal.
The front camera has a resolution of 5 megapixels, slightly increased photosensitivity. As an outbreak, the screen itself can perform. It is possible to improve the complexion of the face, remove artifacts on the skin, and at the same time correct the geometry of the face. Improvements for the face will definitely like girls.
Examples of photos
I think that the photos speak for themselves for themselves, the quality of the camera Note 7 is not inferior at all best solutions on the market, and in many respects and surpasses them.
USB, Bluetooth, Communication Features
Version Bluetooth 4.2.She was created for the Internet of things and works great with various sensors. In the rest of the special changes, there are new profiles, energy consumption has improved. Let me remind you that in the new standard there is an interesting one.
First, it is an extended range that can reach several tens of meters depends on the settings of the devices and how the manufacturer has configured this option. Secondly, the IP protocol is used to address, that is, devices now have their own unique addresses and is connected with a multitude of such devices.
Of the technical moments, Bluetooth and LTE interaction is improved, now within one device there is synchronization of these technologies, no mutual interference is created (for our frequencies LTE is irrelevant). Plus Bluetooth devices can now handle the cloud and transmit their results directly, bypassing the companion device, as needed before.
USB connection. USB 3.1 is used here.
Wi-Fi. The 802.11 A / B / G / N / AC standard is supported, the workshop is similar to Bluetooth. You can remember the selected networks, automatically connect to them. It is possible to configure the connection to the router to one touch, for this you need to press the key on the router, as well as activate the same button in the WPA SecureEasySetup menu. From additional options, it is worth noting the setup wizard, it appears with a weak or disappearing signal. You can also configure Wi-Fi to schedule.
For the 802.11 n standard, the HT40 operation is maintained, which allows you to double Wi-Fi bandwidth (support from another device is required).
Wi-Fi Direct. The protocol that is designed to replace Bluetooth or start competing with its third version (it also uses Wi-Fi versions n to transfer big files). In the Wi-Fi menu, select the Wi-Fi Direct section, the phone begins to search for devices around. Select the desired device, activate the connection on it, and voila. Now in the file manager you can view files on another device, as well as transmit them. Another option is to just find devices connected to your router and pass on them. filesThis can be made from the gallery or other partitions of the phone. The main thing is that the device supports Wi-Fi Direct.
Wi-Fi Repeiter. Usually, when you turn the access point on the phone, it instantly turns off Wi-Fi, use both the same, and others cannot be used. Immediately, as in S7 / S7 Edge, it is possible to distribute your Wi-Fi and to other devices, look at this in the video.
NFC.. The device contains NFC technology, it can be used with various additional applications.
S beam. Technology that allows you to send a few gigabyte size to another phone in a few minutes. In fact, we see in S Beam a combination of two technologies - NFC and Wi-Fi Direct. The first technology is used to bring and authorize the phones, but the second is already to transfer the files themselves. A creative recycled way to use Wi-Fi Direct is much easier than using a connection on two devices, select files and so on.
Grace UI and features of the Note 7 interface
Starting with Note 7 in Samsung switch to the updated android interfaceHe received the name Grace UI. Ideology remained the same - to give the most simple and easy interface that will look like normal Android On the one hand, but will give many improvements on the other side. Unlike the previous year, many changes are directly related to the hardware features of devices, which makes them curious. Let's focus in detail on what has changed, how the system looks like and that it allows you to make the user.
Main screen, curtain and settings
At first glance, nothing has changed, in addition to drawing icons, dropping curtains and other small elements. Many perceive these changes as cosmetic, although it is not so, and they are more serious.
The first thing that rushes into the eyes in the settings menu is the font designer and a larger amount of information that fits on the screen. If in previous version The simplicity interface was considered large, bright icons, then there was a functionality and the ability to show more information. Those who taller for simplicity will be unhappy, but on the fact such an approach is more convenient, you do not need to flip screens to open the necessary menu items.
The list of "Connections" was installed in the list, in this section you can manage all the wireless phone interfaces, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC. If earlier it was possible to establish the visibility of the device for others only when you activate a function or another, now there is a shared switch, you can activate it, and then the smartphone will always be visible in the search. Please note that switches are the main element in the list, and prompts that describe each menu item appear. It is very convenient and makes it easier to work with the phone.
From the features of the device, I will note the combined loading of large files in both cellular network (LTE) and Wi-Fi. The file is divided into parts, and loading goes faster. You can also find MirrorLink when you can broadcast your phone screen to other devices.
When using two SIM cards, you have the opportunity to choose the main for calls and also that the Internet will be used from which card. On the other hand, when calling, you can choose a map with which you call, the interface is very simple and understandable.
In the "Sounds" section you set up vibration and melodies for various events. There are also sound effects and equalizers, they operate for any application in the phone. That is, you can customize everything as much as possible.
In the "Notifications" section, you select programs that will be able to update their statuses in a curtain or send messages about events, you can immediately enable them or turn off, configure their behavior.
The "Display" section makes it possible to select the screen operation mode, this is a color gamut that is adjustable in four options, the night reading mode when the blue color changes so that the eyes are not tired. Traditionally, you can choose the font size, its inscription for system menuAlso download new fonts. There are settings for the curved screen.
Immediately adjust the frames of the icons, representation of the main menu and much more. In practice, most of the settings are carried out once, and many do not change anything, since they are all arranged.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that it is impossible to draw screenshots in the "Topics and Wallpaper" section, now there is such a security policy. The company is so trying to protect developers of this content. You can install both themes and individual sets of icons for all applications, which allows you to change the appearance of the phone as you please.
Check out the video about Grace UI, in which all the possibilities of the updated interface are discussed in detail.
Game component, Vulkan API
At the presentation Note 7, a particular attention was paid to the game component and repeated how the mantra, the words about the Vulkan API, which improves the graphics in toys. Since the demonstration of S7 / S7 EDGE to reinforce these words used Need For Speed: No Limits, Vainglory. This game demonstrates the difference in graphics from the usual version. Unfortunately, you can stay on this game, at the moment the game developers have not yet created their masterpieces for the Vulkan cross-platform engine, it will take time. By the time, when such games appear, and it will take the year or two, or even three, the need for the phone will disappear. Therefore, considering the Vulkan API as a kind of advantage is impossible, it is not or it is only on paper. IN real life You do not fit anything from the fact that there is support for this API.
Samsung Cloud - Cloudy Storage from the Company
Let me remind you that, together with Note 7, the Samsung Cloud service appeared on the light, you are given 15 GB in the cloud, and photos, videos, contacts and SMS are automatically flooded, everything is synchronized between different devices. You can select only Wi-Fi synchronization. Unfortunately, there is no client for the web, you can see photos only with supported devices. For S7 / S7 edge, the firmware has recently been released with the support of the updated gallery and thereby samsung cloud.
After the files are loaded, for some reason they are shown in the gallery albums at the very beginning, sometimes they begin to dug. Creation and again crooked. I had to go to the file manager and downloaded files simply transfer to another place to save them.
Another point that paid attention to. When loading in the cloud of your pictures, their quality deteriorates, but it is not shown to you. That is, you indicate that the photo file weighs 4 MB, in fact it can be two times less! This is a compressed copy that has a full version on the server, but it does not demonstrate you and do not warn. If there is an Internet connection and for a small number of pictures it does not constitute problems, they quickly load from the cloud, and it seems that they are on your device, as was originally. But when a lot of photos, there is a long expectation.
As far as I like the idea of \u200b\u200bthe cloud service, I don't like the implementation of Samsung Cloud, at the moment it is very curved, poorly described at the level of ideology and what happens to files is clearly inferior to solutions from other companies. The only plus is the original integration in the phone. Inquired by plans for the development of this service, heard a lot of interesting things, about mistakes know and plan them to gradually correct, but how quickly it will happen, no one knows.
Impression
SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 7 speaker volume at one level with S7 / S7 EDGE, the speaker is one and is in the end - it is very clean and loud, the device is well audible in different conditions. It can be said that in sound this is one of the loudest and pleasant devices of the company. The vibrating alert on the strength of the average, there are no achievements. With the quality of the transmission of speech during a conversation in different conditions, everything is fine, in complex areas where the signal is weak, the device copes with this not bad, there is a noticeable improvement in this parameter compared to S7 EDGE.
W. sAMSUNG. It turned out the flagship for the Fablet market, and in this capacity Note 7 - one of best devices. The previous generation of Note 5 many pushed the lack of memory cards, to a lesser extent unintellular case. In the current Note 7 memory cards returned, which means moving people from previous models, for example, Note 3/4, on this machine. To a lesser extent, go to Note 5, since the model is still relevant and its users will clearly wait for lower prices on Note 7, they will buy it not at the start of sales.
In fact, there are two devices that you can and need to compare, it is the iPhone 7 Plus and Note 7. They are very similar to the form factor, the execution of the metal chassis and the selected case materials. The comparison of the two flagships deserves a separate, large material, so I will stop here on the advantages of iPhone 7 plus, which can attract consumers:
- A new system of two cameras, which in theory improves snapshots (which must be checked in practice, but in advertising it sounds very cool, it is necessary to watch how it will actually happen);
- Design, image component iPhone.
From relative minuses - the lack of a 3.5 mm connector in the iPhone, the need to buy adapters if you want to listen to music and at the same time charge the phone. I am confident that such people will be a minority - those who are needed by the need.
Traditionally, the Note line has an advantage over all available s Pen. If you understand how to use this handle, then you have the widest opportunities for both creativity and work. It is convenient. Another thing is that it is not needed by many due to the absence of such a need. Therefore, evaluate the fact that this factor is important to you.
Both devices have water protection (IP68 in Note, IP67 in iPhone), Note display is noticeably better for different situations, but the iPhone has an excellent matrix, which indoors look no worse, gives a comparable picture, which is definitely subjectively, And someone can disagree with it. For me, the absence of a quick charge in the iPhone is critical, it binds hands. As well as lack of wireless charging, which is convenient in different situations. To some extent, the iPhone acts as catching up with respect to the Galaxy / Note line, adapts many features of these devices, which is normal. If you walk along the top, without going into the details, then you will receive a plus minus the same impressions of these two devices, but I can get into the details, you can find out a lot of curious. This is the number of branded accessories to each model, and other aspects. Everyone will choose from their preferences, I like the Note line, as in practice it is proved on previous generations that the camera is better in most situations, flexible all settings and capabilities, more memory out of the box and there are memory cards that give you an unlimited place. . In short, this is the eternal struggle of different approaches, I choose freedom in everything, in particular, I do not need a computer at all to work with Note, as, however, with any other Android smartphone.
At a price of 68 thousand for iPhone 7 plus and 65 thousand for Note 7, they can be considered the same in this aspect. Full price equality and price segment. The first sales of the iPhone 7 Plus will begin on September 23, but the device will be widely on the shelves in mid-October, the Note 7 will take place at about the same time after stopping sales. Everything says that both models will be sold in comparable volumes in the first quarter of sales, and then, as in the past, the Note line will go up. Unfortunately, all the Plus models from Apple are not in great demand, in the past it was so, and there are no prerequisites for the fact that this year will change something.
In the line of OT. Samsung direct The competitor for Note 7 stands out half a year ago S7 Edge. The price of this model is 60 thousand rubles (official retail), on the gray market - 48-50 thousand rubles. Almost the same filling, a screen with a large rounding around the edges, a little more compact housing. The screen is excellent, but is inferior to Note 7, the camera is not so strong, they are one level. The amount of memory in S7 EDGE is only 32 GB against 64 GB in Note 7.
Many, not considering important s Pen and choosing a little smaller size, after the Note 7 announcement began to acquire S7 EDGE, having considered it more convenient. As a user and that, and other smartphones, I can say that at first glance it is. But in fact, it is more convenient for me to Note 7, better grip, the screen is slightly, but more and at the same time in the sun and outdoors behaves much better. Work time is approximately comparable, if you do not use any tricks and settings, but to use in the forehead. If you configure the phone correctly, then you give up about 15-20% on Note 7, but is it necessary? I think I do not need.
Often, people compare the flagships with the Chinese at a price of two two, and even three times. Do not deceive yourself, each product has its price, and buying even a famous Chinese, you always do not get one or another opportunity. Choose the worst screen, the absence of the same protection against water and much more. Today there are two top devices in the market - iPhone 7 Plus and Note 7, you can choose and need from them. Models of other companies are lagging behind them in many characteristics, and most importantly, in perception, a little image in them.
At the end of the review, it is simply necessary to make a remark about flammable batteries, despite the fact that we talked about it above. From the beginning of October around the world, Note 7 is on sale with another battery design, so they can safely buy them, they have a marking, and later the corresponding photos I will lay out here. Should I buy the device now? In principle, this can be done if you find where to buy it, as SAMSUNG has suspended sales around the world. But definitely should not risk and take devices from the USA, as well as Asia. The media story around the "explosions" is very inflated and in many ways distorts the real state of affairs. I am not sure that the hurry when choosing the flagship is beneficial, it is better to wait for the appearance of the new wave of Note 7 and take the device already out of it. At the moment I am more than a month with Note 7 and I can say that this is my main machine. The device was very licked, well working and balanced. However, this can be understood from the review.

Each new representative of the Note line is expected to be a public with an indisputable impatience, and then exposed to the oldest study. It is not surprising that Galaxy Note 7 has not exceeded. A simple study of the thesis characteristics of this smartphone makes tremble the heart of any little advanced user, we decided to study his ability to be the most likely, join.
Ah, yes. Everyone who in bewilderment was waiting for the Note 6 model and did not wait, remind, "Six" was missed by the manufacturer consciously, in order to bring all its flagship galaxy (Note and S lineups) to such a "common denominator".
Packaging It is a solid black matte box. As the theater with hangers, the solidity of the new Galaxy Note 7 begins from here, from the box.
Contents of delivery Includes key clips, plug-ins with replaceable tips for the stylus, wired headset, charging block And the USB cable to it. Of particular interest here is a pair of adapters from USB-C on full USB And microUSB: and connect the USB flash drive, and use third-party charging.
Design Not changed, compared with predecessors: we have glass sandwich with a metal frame between facial and rear plates.
The glass is convex, in the company of the cooled side frames it creates a wonderful effect of the screen soaring in the air. By the way, these the most bengles are not so strong here as the same Galaxy S7 EDGE.
Dimensions 153.5 x 73.9 x 7.9 mm, weight 169. How not to note that for its pretty large screen Galaxy Note 7 is felt quite compact device.
Protection against dust and moisture meets the IP68 standard, by the way, this is the first note that has received such protection.
Standard color solutions - black, silver and golden - diluted fresh blue option.
On the right we see the thin power key.
At the bottom face, we are currently met in the current year USB port Type-C, next to the microphone hole, audioort, dynamics grille and S PEN jack.
Left The usual split volume buttons.
We see the tray for SIM and the memory card, there is also an additional microphone.
The rear panel bent to side faces, due to which it is convenient to keep your smartphone in the hands, despite its frankly large size. The location of all elements is familiar to the former Galaxy models: there is a camera, flash, heart rate sensor and oxygen saturation sensor. All these elements have long been familiar to the fans of the brand. The back of the back cover, naturally, collects all possible fingerprints, but if you put it in order on time, it will look very solid.
On the front panel we see a standard set of sensors, complemented by an infrared chamber for reading a rainbow shell, speaker and the front camera
under it - a couple of sensory buttons and physical "home", combined with the fingerprint scanner.
Rainbow shell scanner Mentioned almost in all leaks, relative to Note 7 and, as we see, they did not lick. However, it is not so easy to use: if you remove points - it's a simple thing, then contact lenses on a hundred times a day to unwind no one.
Thanks infrared chamber, Recognition works even in the dark, and in bright light there may be problems. If the iris is not recognized for some reason, it is possible to confirm the identity using a dactylconus sensor or a digital password.
We must admit, the new protection is working quickly and, for the most part, unmistakably, but the "deceive" sensor does not work with the help.
In addition to unlocking a smartphone as a whole, a rainbow scanner can be used to restrict access to personal photographs, records or other types of files.
The fingerprint scanner We mention only casual, it is not new to us. Everything works well here, the recognition is rapid and trouble-free.
S Pen.Along with the device as a whole, he received protection against dust and moisture, moreover, in such unfavorable conditions it will retain performance. But on this, its improvements do not end. So, the pen has become more accurate and sensitive, now it "understands" twice as much degrees of pressing: 4096. Externally, the stylus has become thinner, the choice button remains in its place, and to extract it from the nest, you still need to use everything special button. By the way about the nest, the problem with the incorrectly inserted stylus seems to be solved forever: now he simply does not fit the opposite side. Protection against fool, in pure form.
Well, before his work, S Pen is fast and accurate, the text recognition works perfectly. A screen magnifier (up to 300% increase) was added to the previous functions, a fast translation (including with images) and the creation of Gif animation. But the S Note and Action Memo are also, now their functions are combined in the Notes application. Considering that the programs in many ways dubbed each other, we consider it a true solution, and all users of other models of Galaxy Note are rush to calm: you can easily transfer previously created notes to a new application.
Screen There is a previous diagonal of 5.7 inches with unchanged for several generations by resolution QuadHD (2560x1440), which gives the pixel density of 518 PPI. The SUPERAMOLED matrix also did not leave the smartphone, but the Gorilla Glass Glass is now performed as a protective glass 5. If you are seriously interested in buying Note 7, you have already seen a terrible video from the channel JerryRigeVeryThing, where the author safely scratches the glass with rather soft tools that Gorilla Glass 4 did not succumb. Of course, we cannot argue that your keys will leave (or not) the same devastating scratches, but still do not recommend risking the appearance of such an expensive apparatus.
Well, what can be said about the quality of the display of the flagship smartphone? He is excellent. It does not appeal to any brightness, nor to the corners of the review, nor to the color rendering. Note 7 fully justifies its status of an advanced device.
An interesting screen feature is support for HDR video format, which guarantees more smooth flower transitions and a wide dynamic range. However, while only the theoretical possibility: there is practically no suitable content in the network.
As for the bent sidewalls, random clicks are not occurring, and SPEN works fine in these areas.
The temperature settings of the screen are old, from the new - a blue filter appeared (it, night mode), so that the eyes are tired less. The work of this schedule mode is provided.
We mention the ALWAYS ON DISPLAY option, familiar users by Galaxy S7. Here it has become better and now shows notifications not only from standard applications, but also from third-party, which significantly expands the scope of application and without that interesting function.
Sound both from the multimedia dynamics and from the headphones, is on high level: Detailed and loud. All sorts of effects and seven-band equalizer are envisaged.
Operating system Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, of course, in the shortest possible time will be updated to the newest "seven", and while the interest is a new shell, which received the GRACE UX names.
The shell turned out minimalist, lightweight and quite interesting. The icons in it are rounded, executed in deliberately simple lines and colors.
The curtain is now filled with light colors, fast settings Called in an additional swipe submenu down, the SIM card settings are made here.
The settings menu has changed dramatically.
The application menu appears in the application menu.
It is impossible not to mention and completely new SAMSUNG Cloud service. In fact, just a cloud storage, elegantly inscribed in the smartphone interface. All Note 7 users will receive 15 GB of space here. In addition to the storage of files, it can be used for reserve copy data.
And, of course, it would be foolish to have curved faces, but not to have a software for him. Note7 provides EDGE UI, with rendered on side panels Applications (new) or contacts were added to the familiar list.
Small prank from Samsung - the main color of the interface will now fit the color of your smartphone. However, if desired, it is always easy to change in the settings.
Performance It is approximately equal to both modifications of the smartphone. As we remember, there are two of them: one is based on the 64-bit Samsung exynos 8890, the other - on Snapdragon 820. The first processor is complemented by the MALI-T880 MP12 graphics, the second - Adreno 530. In both modifications of RAM 4 GB, built-in - in the basic configuration 64 GB. Perhaps this would be enough for almost any needs, but here it is complemented by a memory card slot. Also for the Chinese market there is an option 6/128 GB.
In any of these options, this is not just a fast, this is a lightning smartphone, which is on the shoulder any of your requirements and tasks, whether applications, games, synthetic tests, augmented or virtual reality.
Be that as it may, the numbers in the benchmarks are striking the imagination, and in the final version, which will fall on the counters of the stores, may be even cooler.
Interfaces Presented by a standard set, not worthy of close attention: LTE, NFC, Wi-Fi 802.11 B / G / N / AC, Bluetooth 4.2 and GLONASS navigation systems and GPS.
Camera The main is equipped with a 12 MP module with a diaphragm F / 1.7 and Dual Pixel technology, phase autofocus and a single-section flash. It also provides optical image stabilization. The camera is characterized by a high speed of work, and this also concerns focusing and starting and saving ready-made snapshots.
The application interface is also updated: now all control is sharpened for swipes. At the exit, it turned out intuitively and quickly.
This module shows excellent results, regardless of shooting conditions: whether it is a bright sunny afternoon, an evening or a dusk room, pictures remain detailed, with natural colors and full absence noise.
Video filming is carried out as much as possible in 4K, there is a slow record mode.
The frontal chamber of 5 meters with aperture F / 1.7 is not equipped with some special technological research, but also shows excellent speed and excellent pictures. The most interesting here in the video: it is available as 2K.
Battery It has a capacity of 3500 mAh. This smartphone is enough for a full day. autonomous work In mixed mode, that is, about 5 hours of screen or 14 hours video.
There is a wireless and fast charge; From zero to the maximum, the smartphone is charged for an hour and a half.
It is impossible to bypass the new energy-saving regime, which, in theory, must extend the battery life of the device for 35 hours. Under the laconic names, MID and MAX hides two stages of energy saving, and on each of them the user can make its adjustments. It is especially interesting to lower the screen resolution in MID to FullHD format (1920x1080), and in "Max" to HD (1280x720). Until now, no manufacturer has not resorted to such a method to increase the autonomy of its devices, although third-party analogues exist and are actively used by users.
Accessories For Galaxy Note 7, so varied that it will not be easy to stay at each point in detail.
