This is the time of the year to change your old smartphone to a new one, combining a beautiful curved metal and glass design with a range of new functions that will enhance your daily’s life through technology and style.
The new Samsung Galaxy Note7 is the new smartphone that is worth to have a look at. I have been impressed with this new smartphone in so many ways, design, technology and style. Here a short list of 10 features you didn’t know about the new Samsung Galaxy Note7.
1. Iris scanner
The Galaxy Note7 is the first Samsung smartphone to introduce the iris scanner, a biometric verification method that maximises both security and convenience. By holding the Galaxy Note7 25-35 centimetres from your face, you will be able to unlock your phone, and access secure documents. The complex design of the human eye enables the iris scanner to offer another layer of security.
2. IP68 rating (capable of withstanding a depth of one metre for 30 minutes)
You never know when you’ll need to use your phone, so the Galaxy Note7 offers IP68 protection for both the smartphone itself and its accompanying S Pen. With IP68 protection you can use your smartphone no matter the conditions.
3. Camera
With a 12MP Dual Pixel Sensor that coordinates with a brighter F1.7 lens and larger 1.4μm pixels, the Galaxy Note7 offers incredible performance in low light, while its lightning fast auto focus ensures that you are able to capture even the most fleeting moment. Combined with its 4K video shooting capabilities and IP68 rating, the Galaxy Note7’s camera is ready whenever you are.
4. HDR screen
High Dynamic Range represents the future of premium video content, and the Galaxy Note7 is capable of streaming and displaying this new frontier of video output. With its stunning 5.7- inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display, the Galaxy Note7 is future-proofed for any content you care to throw at it, and offers a premium viewing experience whether at home, at work, or on the commute.
5. Samsung Smart Switch
Samsung Smart Switch offers the ability to seamlessly transfer music, clips, photos, contacts, and messages from old compatible smartphones to the Galaxy Note7.
6. Expandable storage
The more we use our smartphones, the more they need to be capable of storing a wide variety and large volume of content. The Galaxy Note7 ensures you’ll never be short of space for work or play, with 64GB of internal storage and up to 256GB of expandable memory offering a total of 320GB combined. Samsung is even providing a bonus 256GB microSD memory card for anyone who pre-orders the device, providing Australians with an added value of $299.
7. The Galaxy Ecosystem
More than just a smartphone, the Note7 allows users to unlock a galaxy of incredible experiences. It enables you to connect with the new Gear VR, Gear 360, Gear Fit2, Gear IconX, and even the TabPro S. It also provides access to services like Samsung Pay, S Health Samsung Cloud and Samsung Knox.
8. Secure Folder
While the boundaries between work and life can be blurred, the Galaxy Note7 enables you to keep your files and apps secure with the Secure Folder. This feature can be used to store private information that can only be accessed by you, thanks to Samsung’s defence-grade Knox system and iris scanner. If privacy is of utmost importance, the Galaxy Note7 has you covered.
9. Upgraded Always On Display
With Samsung’s Always On Display, you can receive information at a glance without waking your phone. It’s also smart enough to be automatically disabled when your Galaxy Note7 is placed in your pocket or bag, face down or running a low battery. Taking this feature even further, the Galaxy Note7 now enables you to make and save important notes on its screen using the S Pen without waking the phone.
10. USB Type-C
With the Galaxy Note7 you’ll never plug your connector in the wrong way again, thanks to the introduction of the USB Type-C input. The Note7 offers faster data transfer and charging speeds, and Samsung is including a microUSB to USB Type-C adapter in the box with every phone to ease the transition.
Australia is one of the first markets in the world to offer people access to the Galaxy Note7. Already hundreds of customers queued in Sydney and Melbourne to collect their devices!
The Galaxy Note7 is available now in-store through major telco operators, retail partners, as well as the Samsung online store and Samsung Experience Stores in Melbourne and Sydney with an RRP of AUD$1,349.
