Samsung unveils Galaxy Note7

Samsung Electronics has unveiled the Galaxy Note7 and said that the smartphone struck a balance between work and play, “enabling people to achieve more than what they thought possible on a smartphone.”

The President of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics, D.J. Koh, said that the new Galaxy Note7 featured a water-resistant body and Stylus pen, “top-of-the-line security that combines Samsung Knox with biometric authentication, including a new iris-scanning feature and an immersive entertainment, which features HDR video streaming capabilities.”

He said, “The Galaxy Note7 combines productivity and entertainment, with strong security features. Powering a robust ecosystem, it is the ideal device for those who want to achieve more in life. Life moves faster than ever now, so we created the Galaxy Note7 to help users get things done more easily wherever, whenever.”

He also said that the Galaxy Note7 stylus pen was more than just a writing tool. “It is the gateway to getting more done efficiently and accurately,” Koh said.

“Users can bring ideas to life the moment inspiration strikes without unlocking the screen by using Screenoff memo and simply pinning the memo to the AlwaysOn Display.

“In addition, the new Air Command functions, including Magnify and Translate, enable users to zoom in on the screen or convert languages with a simple hover of the stylus pen. It is even easier to access the best of the S Pen’s creative abilities with Samsung Notes, a new unified app allowing users to jot down handwritten notes, draw or edit memos from one location.”

According to Samsung, the new Stylus pen writes with ease and precision, saying that the smaller 0.7mm tip and improved pressure sensitivity provides a real pen-like experience.

“With the peace of mind that IP68 water resistance provides, the Galaxy Note7 S Pen lets users jot down their thoughts without interruption, even when the screen gets wet.

“Coupled with Samsung Knox, an industry-leading security platform, the Galaxy Note7 provides heightened security and privacy, with highly advanced biometric authentication, including fingerprint scanner and iris scanning technology. Galaxy Note7 also features a new level of user confidence with Secure Folder, a separated folder that adds an extra layer of authentication to keep private and personal information safe,” the company added.
