design

A look distracted will not be able to differentiate the Galaxy S7 Edge Galaxy Note 7: both have very similar design, large screens, finish mixing glass surfaces and aluminum edges, beyond the curved screens two side, and certification for water resistance IP68 – they can stay submerged for 30 minutes and at a depth of 1.5 meters

There are variations, but they are very subtle: the Note. 7 is 0.2 inches larger in terms of display, has room for the S-Pen on the bottom edge and in front, it is possible to identify a sensor profile different from those present in the S7 edge. Furthermore, the new note has different colors available.

S7 edge measuring 72.6 x 150.9 x 7.7 mm, weighing 157 grams. Already Note 7 is bigger and a little heavier: 153.5 x 73.9 x 7.9 mm and 169 grams. This shows that the new Note is higher in all measures, and heavier.

It is difficult to distinguish from one another by the dimensions, since, although it is smaller and lighter, the S7 Edge continues to be a great cell phone and suitable for the type of consumer who prefers larger screens of phones. This proximity between the two devices in appearance and size shows that a choice in terms of design will be very difficult, reserving the only big difference to Note 7 in colors: while the S7 Edge can be found in black, silver and golden light the Note 7 offers in addition to the rival colors, a unique metallic blue on the line S.

Camera

the camera of the Galaxy S7 Edge was highly praised and well received by critics and consumers worldwide. Because of this, it makes sense that the Galaxy Note 7 come with at least one photo sensor as good as the one used in variations of S7. And that’s exactly the case

Both main cameras have the same technical specifications:. 12 megapixel sensor with a focal length of f / 1.7, 26mm lens, autofocus with focus detection, stabilization optical images, flash via LED, sensor 1 / 2.5-inch with the same pixels 1.4 micron solution found by Samsung to compensate for the relatively low resolution of the camera. Besides all this, the two phones offer the manual photography features, save RAW and HDR can be applied in the production of images

We tested the Galaxy Note. 7; see our impressions on video.

Another factor that strengthens the notion that the cameras are essentially the same is the fact that the two Samsung devices offer the Dual-Pixel Technology that streamlines imperceptibly the auto focus camera process, making the process almost instantaneous, either photo or video

for the front camera, there is the same balance:. the sensor is 5 megapixel in the two cell with aperture of f / 1.7 and 22mm lens.

Settings

Note 7 has advantages in the specifications mainly because it is a newer device: Samsung’s big one offers in addition to the same 4 GB of RAM and S7 Edge processor (Exynos 8890 for Brazil), 64 internal memory GB, while the S7 Edge has 32 GB. There are versions set of 128 and 256 GB for the Note 7, as well as an issue with 64 GB S7 Edge, but all these are unlikely in the Brazilian market.

However, the big jump in relation to the S7 is in the application of USB-C port. The Note 7 should benefit from the new USB standard, developed to achieve greater speed, be more practical to use, in addition to providing support to a new series of devices using the new standard.

Another aspect of the settings of the two devices that should be considered is the Note 7 innovates by bringing support for playback of standard HDR Mobile. In practice, this means that the Super AMOLED screen launch of Samsung is compatible with video content that offers HDR, as some films and series in Netflix . Moreover, the screens are the same: 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution for both, or Quad HD with curved edges. As the display S7 Edge is a little lower (5.7 to 5.5 inches), there is a greater pixel density in the Edge: 534 pixels per inch to 518 of the Note 7.

There is a curious difference between the cell: the S7 Edge, though smaller, offers a higher capacity battery with 3,600 mAh. Note The component 7 has a 3,500 mAh. The difference is too small to be significant during use.

Features

The Samsung usually use the line to Note introduce major new features in their mobile phones. With the Note 7, the tradition continues: the device is the first mobile brand to use an iris reader, which reads the unique pattern of the user’s eyes as a form of biometric authentication. In addition to this technology, the mobile phone brings a fingerprint reader on the Home button, also present in the S7 Edge.

Another undeniable advantage for the Note 7 is the presence of S-Pen, accessory that adds functions and makes use of the large more comfortable to the user device screen. Of course, this difference makes sense only for those looking for a phone with big screen and get used to using the S-Pen: If you have this profile, Note 7 is a more natural choice, since the pen helps increase productivity and control mobile and comfortable.

Always on Display functionality Note 7 has also been enhanced from the version running on S7 Edge. In the new cell, you can write down information in the off screen with the S-Pen and there is support for specific apps promise to the screen that never turns off from Samsung.

Both run Android 6.0 Marshmallow , with upgrade promise for the Android 7.0 Nougat , however the Note 7 also shows some variations in terms of graphical interface with implemented improvements TouchWiz, the “Samsung’s Android.” Nevertheless, it would be wrong to consider these differences as a decisive advantage. It is matter of time that the S7 Edge receive updated with these new

Cost-effective

the Galaxy S7 Edge already has a few months on the market, a factor that added to the imminent release of Note 7 just decreasing mobile prices down. That is why the cost-benefit of more rotated device is better: it has virtually the same hardware, camera and screen Note 7 for a significantly lower price. Despite being sold on the Samsung website for R $ 3,999 in Brazil, you can find the S7 Edge by R $ 3,200.

Note 7 has suggested price of US $ 4,299, the same amount practiced in S7 Edge during launch. Are R $ 1,100 more to have access to an iris reader and the new S-Pen, very big difference to have access to these new features.

Conclusion

The Galaxy Note 7 is more modern and interesting innovations, factors that explain its strengths in specifications and features. But the Galaxy S7 Edge is a top of the line with a proposal for cost-effective best:. Is similar to the Note at a price considerably lower

Although in numbers victory is the Note 7 it is essential not diminish the fact that the S7 Edge is about top of the line: with a processor, RAM and the same cameras to the Note 7, the device is ideal for consumers looking for a smartphone with a large screen, but with smaller budget. Moreover, the most favorable cost-benefit is an important asset for the unit
