Note 7 first with HDR video streaming: what it means, and which titles Amazon provides

No, Samsung meant that the new phablet is actually able to play HDR video content on the screen, like its newest, more expensive TV sets do. Streaming and showing HDR video requires special calibration and processing power, so Samsung outfitted the Note 7 with a mobile version of its DNIe processing chips, borrowed directly from its expensive 4K TV sets that can play HDR.

The handset covers the basic HDR10 standard rather than the more demanding and confusing Dolby Vision standard, which requires end-to-end HDR processing. Thus, as far as base conditions go, the Note 7 should fit in the requirement for 540+ nits of peak brightness and black levels less than 0.0005 nits, having an OLED display and all, similar to the way Samsung's TVs are made to fit the HDR10 video standard.

That's all fine and dandy, but where is that HDR video for streaming or showing on the curved 5.7" Quad HD display of the Note 7? Fret not, as both Netflix, Vudu, Amazon and others all have HDR content available, and Samsung has even entered in a partnership with Amazon for streaming its original HDR content, so you will be initially covered if you are a Prime member and a Note 7 owner.
There is an Amazon Instant Video app on the Note 7 that will serve as your hub for HDR content, and these are the TV series titles you can find there:
