Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Note 7 earlier this month, and pre-orders have kicked off in major markets across the globe.
According to a new report, the Korean company has received record pre-orders of the Galaxy Note 7 in the company’s home country.
The report surfacing from the company’s own country suggests that Samsung has received 200,000 record-breaking pre-orders. The company is also offering several enticing deals in South Korea to attract customers including a free Gear Fit 2 (worth KRW 198,000, or $177), 50% discount on screen repair, as well as a KRW 100,000 gift card which can be used at Samsung Pay Mall.
Impressive Specifications and Features
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 comes with a 5.7-inch QHD display with a resolution of 2560 by 1440 pixels, providing users with a stunning visual experience. The device is powered by 4GB of RAM and the Exynos 8890 processor, ensuring smooth performance and efficient multitasking. Additionally, it ships with 64GB of internal storage, which can be expanded via a microSD card, giving users ample space for their apps, photos, and videos.
The Galaxy Note 7 also boasts a 12MP rear camera with optical image stabilization, allowing for sharp and clear photos even in low light conditions. The 5MP front-facing camera is perfect for selfies and video calls. One of the standout features of the Note 7 is its massive 3,500 mAh battery, which supports fast charging and wireless charging, ensuring that users can stay connected throughout the day without worrying about running out of power.
The device ships with Android 6.0 Marshmallow pre-installed out of the box, but Samsung has promised timely updates to the latest versions of Android, ensuring that users have access to the latest features and security enhancements.
Innovative Features and Enhanced Security
One of the most talked-about features of the Galaxy Note 7 is its iris scanner, which provides an additional layer of security. This innovative technology allows users to unlock their device and authenticate transactions with just a glance, making it both convenient and secure. The Note 7 also includes a fingerprint scanner, giving users multiple options for securing their device.
The S Pen, a signature feature of the Note series, has been improved with the Note 7. It now offers enhanced pressure sensitivity and a finer tip, making it feel more like a real pen. The S Pen also includes new features such as the ability to create GIFs from videos and translate text on the fly, adding to its versatility and usefulness.
Samsung has also focused on making the Galaxy Note 7 more durable. The device is IP68 certified, meaning it is dust and water-resistant, and can withstand being submerged in up to 1.5 meters of water for up to 30 minutes. This makes it an ideal choice for users who need a rugged device that can handle the rigors of daily life.
The handset is priced at KRW 988,900 (around $895) in South Korea. Let us know if you’ve pre-ordered the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 in your country.
