One of the most interesting things about the Note 7 is its S Pen.
And the return of the microSD card to the Note line will certainly attract a certain subset of core Android users who may have defected from Samsung in the 12 months since the Note 5's launch.
While the the ports and speaker holes on the Note 7's bottom still don't line up, the rest of the phone is extremely well balanced, and beautifully engineered.īut the Note 7 has many of the features iPhone customers have been clamoring for since the early years of the this decade: water resistance wireless charging a high-resolution display and a generous helping of internal storage as standard. But Apple hasn't shown as fervent a concern with screen-to-bezel efficiency as it has with thinness and lightness - the iPhone 6s Plus is even slightly thicker and heavier than its 2014 counterpart - and there's no reason to believe that won't continue this year. For all we know, the so-called iPhone 7 Plus will shrink, as the Note series has over the past few years, while maintaining its 5.5-inch screen size, or it will merely offer a larger screen with the same dimensions. Of course, this is an unfair comparison given that the Note 7 is brand new and the iPhone 6s Plus eleven months old and nearing the end of its annual release cycle.
