According to a review recently made for the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, it is the only well-built phone currently available in the market. Although it noted how solid of a phone HTC 10 and OnePlus 3 is, only the Note 7 stands out from the rest.
The write-up created a balanced list of what is good and bad about the top-tier device, but mostly went to the good features. From its design, camera, display up to its software, the device is all but good, Android Police reported.
For a 5.7-inch phone, the Note 7 did not feel as if a bulky smartphone. The review noted it seemed smaller when holding it in your own hands. It was more comfortable to hold because of the Gorilla Glass 5 both used for its front and back panels curving toward the central aluminum bands.
Although it recognized a flatter home button, its finger print scanning technology was rather slower compared from other devices. Despite its finger print sensor's slow response, the review noticed a fast response from it iris scanning feature. However, it noted that this is possible when you are within the 18-inch distance between your face and Note 7.
Another feature very notable with the newest Samsung flagship is its display. According to the same review, only Note 7 possesses the best display available on a smartphone. Despite having the same resolution from Note 5, the write-up stated that Samsung managed to increase the level of brightness in the current iteration giving it a beautiful display.
The camera is also excellent. Using its 12 MP camera with optical stabilization and larger pixels for better low-light shots, the Note 7 was rated as excellent by the same report.
Despite these very positive notes, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is currently priced at $850 which was described by some as hefty and pricey. A review by Ars Technica said they would rather buy two OnePlus 3s for the price of the latter. It pointed out that the OnePlus 3s also possesses the same amount of storage, a higher RAM capacity, a much better software and a more durable body than the Note 7.
