Samsung Galaxy Note7 Price in the Philippines and Specification

Summary

One of the most notable devices in the Filipino tech market is Samsung's new Galaxy Note 7. This smartphone is a great example of what a flagship smartphone should be as its performance is off the charts.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is unfailingly impressive

Samsung is one company that is most enthusiastic about bringing out new innovative technologies into their smartphones. As the company never stops striving in putting the best use of modern technology, the new Galaxy Note 7 is the best of what Samsung has to offer.

Although this device has had battery issues, Samsung recently initiated a recall which replaced faulty models with a new one. According to the company, almost 85% of affected model have been recalled. The new models don't suffer from this issue anymore and work just as fine.

Popularity in the Philippines

The new Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has certainly amused tech fanatics in the Philippines with its exciting new features. Despite the battery issue, the recalled units have been selling well in the Filipino tech market – as reported by recent market survey.

Design

Fascination in this Galaxy Note 7 starts with its cutting edge design as its display has dual curved edges (just like Galaxy S7 Edge). The company has created a fusion of metal and glass which gives a stand-out styling.

This phone's side body has gentle curves that cope brilliantly with the rear panel which too has subtle curves. Capacitive touch buttons on the bottom are very sensitive so users might have to be a bit careful with one hand use.

S Pen

Another fascination in this Note 7 is its improved S Pen. With the help of S Notes app, users can perform various tasks with this intuitive S Pen; whether it be for fun or professional use. In addition, the beloved off-screen memos return in Note 7 which allows users to jot down anything quickly.

This stylus has got a new interesting feature called the GIF maker. With this feature, users can create animated GIFs from just any moving image. Other functions of this new S Pen include Translate and Magnify.

Iris Scanner

Besides incorporating an ultra-responsive fingerprint sensor, the new Galaxy Note 7 also boasts of extra security with an all-new iris scanner. Dismay as it might sound, this phone's iris scanner doesn't prove to be a breakthrough technology as Samsung has set several safety standards.

To give such an example, the iris scanner disclaimer reads that infants shouldn't be exposed to this scanner as it might blur eye vision. With that being said, this iris scanner also makes it convenient to unlock the phone, files and even apps. As to accuracy, this new iris scanner works well in the dark too (it's not faster than the fingerprint sensor though).

Display

Galaxy Note 7 sports a 5.7 inch Super AMOLED display which holds 1440 x 2560 pixels resolution at a dense 518 ppi pixel density. This display is rich in true color and therefore is ideal for VR Gear. As this display also supports Mobile HDR, the contrast ratio is expanded and users get a more enjoyable viewing experience.

The always-on display feature shows notification icons, battery life, time and date when the rest of the screen is asleep. This also helps in saving battery charge.
