Samsung Galaxy Note7.
The Galaxy Note7 is the first Samsung phone with perfect symmetry. Both the front and rear use the same curved Gorilla Glass 5, resulting in a beautiful design where the curves converge right in the middle onto a narrow metal bezel.
The curved display on the front of the Note7 isn’t just an aesthetic choice, it has exactly the same Edge software that you’ll find on the S7 Edge. The curve also helps to make the Note7 smaller and more compact than all previous Note models – it’s actually 2.7mm narrower than the Note 5.
Below the display, the Home button doubles up as a fingerprint scanner. It’s lightning fast and super accurate. On the bottom edge of the Note7, you’ll find a reversible USB Type-C charging port - the first Samsung device to sport one. There’s a micro-USB to USB Type-C adapter is supplied in the box, so you can still use any micro-USB charging cables or accessories you have lying around.
You’ll find the nano-SIM card slot on the top. The Note7 is a dual-SIM phone, with the second SIM slot doubling up as a microSD card slot that supports cards up to 256GB. Internally, it has 64GB of storage.
On the back, the Note7 has the same 12-megapixel, f/1.7, 1/2.6-inch dual-pixel sensor camera with phase detection autofocus and optical image stabilization as the S7 and S7 Edge.
