Samsung Galaxy Note 7 vs Galaxy S7 edge: 

Design:

The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 follows the design cues of the Galaxy S7 edge, but with a

Samsung Galaxy Note 7

The Note 7 measures 153.5mm x 73.9mm x 7.9mm and it hits the scales at 169g. Both an iris scanner and fingerprint sensor are present on the new device, along with a water and dust resistance of IP68 and USB Type-C. The Note 7 will be available in three colour ways: Black Oynx, Blue Coral and Silver Titanium.

The Galaxy S7 edge measures 150.9 x 72.6 x 7.7mm and weighs 157g, while the Galaxy S7 measures 142.4 x 69.6 x 7.9mm and weighs 152g, making them slimmer, lighter and smaller than the Note 7. Both offer metal builds, with Corning Gorilla Glass 4 fronts and rears, but the S7 edge has a curved display like the Note 7, while the standard S7 is flat.

The S7 edge and S7 both have a water and dust resistance rating of IP68 like the Note 7, and they come with a fingerprint sensor on the front, again like the Note 7. The S7 edge and S7 edge come in Black Oynx, White, Gold, Titanium Silver and Pink Gold so they have a few more colour options available compared to the Note 7.

 Display

The Samsung Galaxy Note 7's display is 5.7-inches like previous Note devices.

 It sticks with Super AMOLED technology, as well as a Quad HD resolution, both of which can be found on the later preceding Note devices.

As we mentioned, the Note 7 has a curved display like the S7 edge. It also features an Always-on display, something that can also be found on the S7 and S7 edge, although the Note 7 has more use for it thanks to the S-Pen. The Note 7 also adds Mobile HDR to its display's attributes, meaning when mobile HDR content is available, the Note 7 will be capable of showing it, while the S7 and S7 edge won't.

Both the Galaxy S7 edge

feature Quad HD resolutions and Super AMOLED displays. The Galaxy S7 edge is 5.5-inches and has a dual edge display,

As both the S7 and S7 edge are smaller than the Note 7 but feature the same resolution, they will offer a slightly higher pixel density. The S7 edge sits at 534ppi and the S7 at 577ppi, while the Note 7's is 515ppi. The difference won't be noticeable to the human eye, but based on the numbers, the S7 offers the sharpest display of the three devices being compared here

Camera:

The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 comes with the same camera capabilities as the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge.

That means you'll find a 12-megapixel rear camera with Dual Pixel technology, coupled with a 5-megapixel front camera.

Both the front and rear cameras of the Note 7, S7 and S7 edge have an aperture of f.1/7, helping them in low light conditions. The rear camera is capable of 4K video recording and it

comes with phase detection auto focus and an LED flash. Auto HDR is present on both the front and the rear cameras.

The S7 edge and S7 are excellent performers in terms of camera so we'd expect the same from the Note 7 given it offers identical technology.

Hardware[edit]

The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 features a 5.7-inch display with a curved AMOLED screen at a resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels. It is available with 64GB of internal storage (around 53GB available to the user) and includes a microSD card slot that can hold up to 256GB.The inclusion of this port is a response to the criticism Samsung faced in 2015 when it omitted the port from the Galaxy Note 5. The Galaxy Note 7 is the first Galaxy smartphone to feature an iris scanner, which can be used to lock the phone. The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is also Samsung's first smartphone to feature a USB Type-C. In the version for Korea there is a TV-tuner. No IR port, radio receiver.

The Galaxy Note 7 is powered by an Exynos 8890 Octa SoC internationally, while U.S.A Chinese variants will ship with a Snapdragon820 SoC. The device is also equipped with 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM.

The Galaxy S7's hardware design is largely identical to that of the S6; it retains its metal and glass chassis, but with refinements such as a squarer home button, and a thinner protrusion for the camera. Both models are available in black and gold colors; a white, pink, and silver version will be available depending on the market.^[5][6] The S7 and S7 Edge are IP68-certified for dust and water resistance; unlike the Galaxy S5, the S7's ports are sealed and therefore it does not have protective flaps.^[3][4] Moisture in the charging port prevents the phone from charging.^[7]

Galaxy S7 devices are equipped with a Samsung Exynos 8890 system on a chip and 4 GB of RAM. In the United States and China, the S7 uses the quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, as unlike Exynos, it supports the CDMA2000 networks which are still extensively used by some U.S. and China carriers.^[8][9] The heat from the processor is transferred with a 0.4mm thick water-to-steamheat pipe cooling system.^[10] The S7 includes either 32 or 64 GB of internal storage (in most markets only the 32 GB model will be available). The micro SD card slot was restored, enabling expansion of storage capacity. As well as accepting a multitude of micro SD cards, to top it off, with the unveiling of the Sandisk 200 GB micro SDXC the Samsung Galaxy S7 has a significant data storage capability.^[3]

Software

The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 launches on Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 with TouchWiz over the top. The Samsung Galaxy S7 edge and Galaxy S7 also both run on Android Marshmallow 6.0 and again feature TouchWiz on the top.

Both the Note 7 and the S7 edge have Edge UX, which takes advantage of the curved display, adding a couple of extra features over the standard S7.

Whilst the experience will be familiar to the S7 edge, Samsung has also streamlined things for the Note 7, with fewer colours within the icons to offer a more subtle, cleaner look. There are also the additional features that come with the S-Pen functionality, such as Air Command, note taking without unlocking the device and the Samsung Notes app.
