Recent leaked images reveal new details about the much anticipated next-generation phablet flagship from Samsung. The Galaxy Note may possibly be launched as Note 7 and will reportedly feature an eyeball scanner and curved edge screen. Like the media-hyped iPhone 7 roundup, the new device is markedly different from its predecessor with the absence of headphone jacks.
As per Phone Arena, an unnamed insider source sent a picture featuring a slogan that says 'write on the edge of something great' with a shadowy outline of something that resembles an S-Pen stylus. The recent anonymous tip complements previous leaks regarding Samsung's aggressive effort to add more unique selling points for the upcoming phablet of the Note series.
Additionally, there are speculations that the teaser somehow points to the swirling rumors of the South Korean consumer electronics giant skipping the entire sixth-gen line and rebrand the handset as Note 7 instead.
Some tech observers think that the device's outline seems to resemble the number 7 in the latest teaser image. The other practical reason is to get away with the confusion as most consumers may assume that Note 6 is an old model. Samsung reportedly wants to keep the latest flagship to be in the same generation as the handsets belonging to the Galaxy S range.
In another leaked snap on Sam Mobile, the media outfit reports that the South Korean tech giant might introduce either Note 7 or Note 7 Edge at this year's Galaxy Unpacked Event on August 2 at the Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center in New York. The graphic invite shows five curved lines shaped like a number '7' with the phrase saying 'The next Edge is just around the corner' proving that the Galaxy Note 7 may actually be true after all.
This also coincides reputable leakster Evan Blass' previous June 2 tweet that the unveiling of the Note 6 or 7 will take place two months away in New York. Apart from the August 2 event, latest information also suggests that a live broadcast feed is available for a large number of fans.
As for Galaxy Note 6 or 7's specs the features, here is a rundown based on a report by Tech Times: 5.8-inch QHD curved edge display, a Snapdragon 823 SoC or an Exynos chipset, an iris scanner, IP68-certified water-resistant package, a USB Type-C port, a 4,000 mAh battery, removal of headphone jacks, and a BlackBerry Hub-like Samsung Focus app.
