If until now the obvious candidate for those who seek a high range of Samsung phablet was the Galaxy S7 Edge, with the arrival of the new Galaxy Note 7 we have a difficult decision ahead if we are looking for in the catalog of the Koreans a smartphone at the highest level and large screen. Which of the two is the one that most fits what walk looking for? What distinguishes them and what constitutes their strengths? We are going to do it with this comparison with the technical specifications of each.
Very attractive accessories
We start with the most obvious difference that we will find in the section on design and that it is simply the fact that, like all its predecessors, the Galaxy Note 7 arrives with S Pen, the stylus from Samsung , which makes the experience of use of these phablets so different from the other device and that it is enriched year after year , since with the new, as it has become usual, new features have been introduced.
More security measures
By now already we take for granted on a flagship that we will have fingerprint reader, especially when it’s a Samsungdevice, since the Koreans were among the first to incorporate it and, indeed, two models that we are dealing with have it. However, the Galaxy Note 7 has an instrument that goes even further when it comes to protecting our privacy and that it is none other than a retina scanner.
A design that is still refining
It should be noted that what used to be the different brand of the “edge”, the curved screen, Galaxy is not exclusive model that gives the name, but it will be present also in this Galaxy Note 7, but with some tweaks, since won’t be so pronounced. The result, in any case, at the aesthetic level is spectacular, getting even more elegant lines, something that no doubt contributes already characteristic combination of glass and metal.
An even bigger screen
Although them two models enter within what know as phablets, not have exactly the same size: the Galaxy S7 Edge is is in the border that separates to this type of devices of them smartphones conventional, with 5.5 inch, while the Galaxy Note 7 maintains the of their predecessors and reaches the 5.7 inch. That Yes, in the two are going to be able to enjoy the best panels AMOLED Samsung and resolution Quad HD (2560 X 1440).
The same hardware, but would better optimized?
In the performance section there is no important development regarding the Galaxy S7 Edge, at least not if we look only at the hardware, since the Galaxy Note 7 still reaches a 8890 Exynos and 4 GB of RAM. It must be said, in any case, that despite this it wouldn’t surprise us we find the new model outperforms the former, simply thanks to the optimization (and we saw his duel with OnePlus 3 precisely against the former flagship of Samsung that this is as important as the level of the components).
More capacity for storage
The Galaxy S7 Edge did much to dispel the high-end (seems that already almost definitely, at least on Android) versions of 16 GB, with basic models of 32 GB, a figure that, if we take into account that it comes accompanied by a micro-SDcard slot, it seems difficult that it is short. However, most heavy users will be pleased to know that with Galaxy Note 7 still will have more storage space, and not only because the minimum is now 64 GB, but also because we have a new maximum of 256 GB.
A similar camera
Developments are not as notable in the camera section, although I must say that is not precisely something in what was already easy to improve the Galaxy S7 Edge, is now at the Summit of the most prestigious ranking in this regard, which is that of DxO. In both cases we have a main 12 MPcamera, with 1.4 micrometer pixels, opening of f/1.7, optical stabilizer of image and flash LED. The front Chamber, for its part, is 5 MP and also has an opening f/1.7.
A somewhat shorter battery
You know that autonomy is highly dependent on consumption and that this is affected by various factors, so it is always difficult to foresee. We can, therefore, ensure that the autonomy of the Galaxy Note 7 will be smaller than the Galaxy S7 Edge until does not use actual tests confirm it, but that we can advance you part with disadvantage, since its battery capacity is something more smaller (3500 mAh face 3600 mAh) even while its screen is larger.
