Just to refresh your memory, the Galaxy Note 7 features a 5.7-inch QHD Super AMOLED display with dual curved edges, a 12-megapixel primary camera with Dual Pixel phase-detection autofocus, and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. It runs a slightly revamped version of TouchWiz on top of Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. There’s an iris scanner on-board, and the new and improved S Pen is now water resistant, just like the phablet itself.
The Galaxy Note 7 is equipped with an octa-core Exynos 8890 processor, 4GB RAM, 64GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, a USB Type-C port, and a 3,500 mAh battery. The variant that has been launched in India comes with a hybrid dual-SIM card slot, so you can either use a secondary SIM card or a microSD card in the second slot.
