Samsung on Tuesday will unveil its latest phablet, the Galaxy Note 7. Along with its name, the company has already previewed some of its features.
The announcement comes about a month ahead of IFA in Berlin, where Samsung typically rolls out its new Note devices. By speeding up the Note 7's release and aligning its name with the successful Galaxy S series, Samsung clearly wants the next Note to keep up the momentum its smartphones have generated this year -- before consumers turn their attention to the next iPhone. After posting its strongest profits in two years for Q2, thanks in large part to the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, Samsung now needs the Note 7 to keep the profits rolling in over Q3 and Q4.
So, what can consumers expect from this device? Here's a rundown of what we know, and what's rumored to be announced.
DESIGN AND SPECIFICATIONS
Samsung said the device will have a S Pen and large display, making it an excellent tool for the enterprise market.
Other reported features include:
- A USB-C connection in place of a microUSB
- Iris scanner for enhanced security
- A dual-curved, 5.7-inch QHD Super AMOLED display
- 12-megapixel rear camera with an f/1.7 aperture and 4K video support
