- What's up guys?
David here, and Samsung just announced
the Galaxy Note Seven,
which technically, should have been called
the Note Six, since six comes after five,
but either way, the Note Seven is official,
and it comes with a bunch of new features.
So today, we're looking at ten
of the best new features the Note Seven has to offer.
Let's get right into it.
Top new feature number one: curvy design.
The Note Seven now has a dual-curved edged,
where both edges of the screen curve over
towards the side of the phone,
which combined with the curved back,
should translate into a more comfortable fit in the hand.
The phone will also be available
in four different color options:
in the traditional black onyx,
silver titanium, gold platinum,
along with a new blue coral option.
Two: Gorilla Glass Five.
The glass on both the front and the back
of the Note is Gorilla Glass Five,
which corning claims can survive drops
from up to 1.6 meters.
Now, I don't know if I believe that,
and you can bet we'll be doing
a fumble style drop test on it soon.
But for now, the Note Seven should, in theory,
be at least more durable than the Note Five.
Three, camera.
The Note Seven inherits the same two cameras
we saw on the Galaxy S Seven,
which is not a bad thing at all.
The five megapixel front-facing camera has a F1.7 aperture,
which will let you take glorious selfies
even when in low-light conditions.
And the F1.7 12 megapixel camera on the back
has duel-pixel technology,
which gives you crazy fast auto-focus
so you'll always get the shot that you want.
Four, IP68 water and dust resistance.
Like the Galaxy S Seven, the Note Seven
is IP68 water and dust resistant.
But what's interesting here
is that S Pen is also water resistant.
Meaning that you can actually take notes
on the phone when you're in the shower, which is smart
since that's where all the good ideas happen anyways.
Number five, more memory.
The base model of the Note Seven comes with 64 GB
of storage, doubling the 32 GB that came with the Note Five.
And if 64 GB somehow isn't enough for you,
the Note Seven's memory can be expanded via microSD
by up to two terabytes.
Of course, two terabyte microSD cards don't exist yet,
so for now you can get a 256 GB card,
which should be more than enough
for even the biggest storage users.
Six, USB Type C.
The Note Seven is the first flaction smart phone
from Samsung to ditch the old time, standard micro USB,
and instead comes with the USB Type C.
USB Type C not only offers faster data transfer speeds,
but also is reversible
so you can plug it in, in either direction.
Now, one of the biggest downsides of USB Type C
is that obviously you can't use your old microUSB cables.
But luckily Samsung has you covered making the switch easier
by including a microUSB to USB Type C adapter
in the Note Seven's box.
Good job, Samsung.
Seven, bigger battery.
The Note Five came with a 3,000 milliamp battery,
which was good enough for most,
but not quite enough for what you'd expect
out of such a big phone.
So, thankfully, Samsung upped the capacity
on the Note Seven's battery to 3,500 milliamps,
which is impressive given that it fits in a thinner body.
Given that the Note Seven and the Galaxy S Seven Edge
have similar specs, including the battery,
you should be able to get easily a day or two
out of a single charge.
Eight, Iris Scanner.
In addition to the finger print scanner,
the Note Seven comes with an iris scanner,
which does exactly what it sounds like
and scans your eyes to unlock the phone.
Samsung says that the iris scanner
is actually more secure than a finger print scanner.
So if you want the absolute best security method available,
the Note Seven has got you covered.
I don't know how well it will work if it's really dark
or you're wearing glasses,
but an iris scanner is some Jame Bond shit,
so I'm looking forward to it.
Nine, Secured Folder.
Samsung phones have had a private mode for a while,
but on the Note Seven, there's a new secured folder
which allows you to password protect
or iris protect, not only your photos and videos,
but even apps and e-mail accounts.
Again, James Bond shit.
Ten, S Pen.
The S Pen got a pretty big upgrade with the Note Seven.
Now having over 4,000 points of pressure,
compared to just 2,000 on the Note Five,
it also has a thinner tip,
so precision is not going to be problem.
But it's not just hardware, the S Pen also comes
with smarter software that allows you to do things
like easily magnify, create a gif
from pretty much anything you'd like,
and can even translate language for you on the fly.
Oh, and you can't accidentally put it in backwards,
which was an issue that some people had with the Note Five.
All right, so there you have it.
Those are the top ten best new features on the Note Seven.
