Previously, we heard rumors that Samsung is apparently working on an iteration of the Galaxy Note 7 with 6GB of RAM on board.
Recently, Samsung’s mobile head DJ Koh confirmed the company’s plans of launching the Galaxy Note 7 with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
Why the Chinese Market?
However, the specific variant is only limited to the Chinese market where the company has seen declining sales due to strong competition. The Chinese smartphone market is one of the most competitive in the world, with numerous local brands like Huawei, Xiaomi, and Oppo offering high-spec devices at competitive prices. Additionally, it makes sense for the Korean company to introduce a 6GB of RAM variant for the Chinese market as there are already devices, including the recently announced OnePlus 3 which ships with 6GB of RAM. This move is seen as a strategic effort to regain market share and appeal to Chinese consumers who prioritize high-performance specifications.
“It is true that we are reviewing the rollout of a new tablet with 128 gigabyte built-in memory in China because Chinese companies are aggressively doing marketing with high-capacity memory,” Koh said.
Specifications and Features
The Galaxy Note 7 is already a powerhouse with its Exynos 8890 or Snapdragon 820 processor, depending on the region. The addition of 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage makes it even more appealing for power users who need extra memory for multitasking and storage for apps, photos, and videos. The device also features a 5.7-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display, a 12MP rear camera with dual-pixel technology, and a 5MP front camera. The S Pen stylus, a hallmark of the Note series, offers enhanced functionality with features like Screen Off Memo and Air Command.
The handset is set to hit retail on August 19 in several color options: black, silver, blue, and gold. These color options provide consumers with a variety of choices to match their personal style. The device also includes an iris scanner for added security, a feature that was relatively new at the time of its release.
Market Impact and Consumer Interest
The introduction of the 6GB RAM variant in China could potentially set a new standard for flagship devices in the market. It also raises questions about whether Samsung will eventually release this variant in other markets. Given the increasing demand for high-performance smartphones, it wouldn’t be surprising if Samsung decided to expand the availability of this model.
Anyone interested in picking up the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 when it launches or pre-ordered the handset? Let us know using the comments below. The anticipation for this device is high, and it will be interesting to see how it performs in the market, especially against competitors like the OnePlus 3 and other high-spec devices.
