Samsung Galaxy Note 7 vs Galaxy Note 5 vs Galaxy S7 edge: three-way specs comparison

8comments

The wait is finally over - Samsung has finally unveiled the Note 7, the worst kept secret in the industry for the past few months. To say that all aspects and features of the phone have leaked weeks before we got to see it officially unveiled will be nothing but a major understatement. It seems that everyone and their mothers were well-aware of what the new Note phablet on the block will have to offer a long time ago.

In reality, it looks as if Samsung took all the best bits out of the Galaxy S7 edge and the Note 5 and intertwined them in a spellbinding amalgam of stunning design and features. The functionality-boosting S Pen and the sexy curved edge display, as well as the water-proof body and that spacious battery are all on board, making the Note 7 definitely a phone to lust after.

If you've wondered how it stacks up with the S7 edge and its predecessor, the Note 5, then you've come to the right place - we will be comparing the specs of that noteworthy trio right here, right now. Check it out!
