Samsung Galaxy Note 7. I know the specifications of memory, you too. I therefore propose that an agreement: I can save my time writing about oczywistościach, you save time on reading them. Let this be a review covering the same usability. The same thick .
Do not worry, do not leave you on the ice. If you want to know the detailed specification of the Galaxy Note 7, perfectly he described it, David. I, in turn, described first impressions after a few days of fun smartphone, the most interesting features of the software, and also wrote a few words about water resistance and possibilities of the camera.
Now, let’s get to the most troubling questions you may have people who are willing to purchase the Samsung Galaxy Note 7.
is 5.7 inches it’s not an exaggeration?
two years ago smartphone series Galaxy Note seemed to me to be powerful. The big, gargantuan, caricatured. Today, in 2016, Note 7 was not shocked by the size, although it still ranks among the major smartphones. Nevertheless Note 7 to other phabletów (I hate that word …) looks very filigree due to the curved screen, through which the device is narrower and virtually no side frames.
When it comes to big smartphones, by approx. half a year used the diagonal of 5.5 inches, which is terribly tired after me. Now, a few months my smartphone has a screen of 5.2 inches, which seems to me to be the optimal size.
As for the background of these experiences looks Galaxy Note 7?
for the first two days I thought that this smartphone is too big. It was difficult to catch in your hand right balance, especially after the establishment of a rigid case. The center of gravity smartphone fared so high that Note 7 still trying to slip out of my hand, turning back over your index finger.
On the third day the problem disappeared. No, I did not grow my hand. We just got used to the fact that the smartphone of this size have to keep a little differently. It started to come instinctively and probably just signed up in the muscle memory because I stopped feeling any discomfort.
During testing, irritation sometimes returned. Mainly in the race, when I was at the disposal of one hand. Regularly I had to use the mode for reducing screen (three times pressing the “home”), to reach a thumb to the quick settings in the upper bar.
Aside from these minor inconveniences, the Galaxy Note 7 every day checking the famously. After two weeks of testing I know that this could be my main smartphone. I would never have expected it, especially after the failed attempt of switching to 5.5 inches.
The screen is more. More words in one line, more lines on one screen. After the completed tests, return to the screen of 5.2 inches it is a torment. I feel like I stepped back in time a few years.
How is it with the performance of Samsung Galaxy Note 7?
I must admit that the big surprise I read all the tests criticizing the performance Note 7. What is not in them! Tables, charts, comparisons. The real grist to the mill for hejterów, which can also be seen in texts on Spider’s Web.
This is a brilliant satirical image of Andrzej Milewski. TV presenter announces new reports from the world of science – astrophysicists made a mistake in calculating the age of the universe for billions of years . Sour television viewer in a dirty T-shirt, holding a beer in his hand, says that the words – idiots!
So what. This begs me to this analogy, because I have the impression that those commentators-Haters have the knowledge of Note 7, as the viewers of astrophysics.
And how is it in practice? Yes, sometimes it happens that the Galaxy Note 7 will switch application for the fraction of a second’s thought. Yes, sometimes the same fraction of a second you have to wait until the application deigns to fire. Yes, this is a misunderstanding on your smartphone for 3800 zł, which is between the top specification. So, welcome to the world of Android and TouchWiz, or a combination, which is probably even 16 GB RAM she could zalagować.
Only you know what? In real life there is absolutely no difference. You can clog RAM under the cap, you can use at the same time with 10 applications, and Note 7 not refuse to obey. These micro-lag times (and I emphasize sometimes) to appear, but it never occurred to me Crash . I never needed restart. I never had to force close all applications, because something did not work like that. Really I wish that every smartphone to work at least as well.
Is curved screen works every day?
the curved edges of the screen Samsung Galaxy Note is just beautiful. The entire glass-metal device looks like a million dollars, but the curvature is the icing on top of the cake. Really, this block is simply wonderful, which enjoys particularly in the context of the fact that Note 7 is sealed. I do not know if ever developed nicer smartphone.
Curves, make Galaxy Note 7 is narrower, making it better in the hand despite its size. The side frames are so narrow that in fact they do not exist, but it does not cause any uncontrolled interaction with the screen. Not happened to me, something I accidentally moved or turned.
Samsung boasts additional functions related to the curvature. Over the edge, you can eject the panel contacts, shortcuts to applications, compass and ruler. And you know what? Not once I did not use this. These features might as well not be. The curvature of this procedure visual overhaul, but in terms of functionality does not change anything.
A sheer quality of the screen? 10/10. Panel Super AMOLED is simply sensational. The density of pixels is space (518 ppi). All praise, which you will find on it are true. What does Samsung in terms of quality screens, deserves praise.
Unfortunately, it seems also that the reports are true susceptibility to scratches. Gorilla Glass 5 admittedly not porysowało me on the screen, but a smartphone with the back made his one scratches. It is very strange that the very care about electronic devices and features have practically no rights on them arise. Note, however, fell 7, and that after the fourth day of testing. Something is not right here.
finger or stylus?
The stylus S-Pen at first I was not convinced. I have not seen him use. Notes on the screen? Why, when I do them faster on-screen keyboard? Drawing? It makes no sense for such a small area. Additional functions? The same thing I can do with your finger.
It’s all true. The stylus is not necessary gadget and do not really need to use it.
Mimi from time to time, the lazy evening using Note’a 7, I happened to pull out a stylus to interact with the ordinary smartphone. It is really convenient. Precision tip allows for easy text selection, and even the ordinary scrollowaniu internet has something like that, it’s nice to uses it.
A couple of times it happened to me that the stylus actually facilitated and accelerated interaction with the smartphone. I could easily make clipping a specific part of the screen and easily applied to his comment. Make a funny gif. Or, for example. Tweet this post.
I think that the stylus could use more frequently, if not the fact that he often forgot … that Note 7 accommodates a gadget. I think this is the case Samsung. Function is a lot, but none of them is particularly interesting and useful. Well, unless somebody loves to sketch and simultaneously hates the on-screen keyboard.
Changes TouchWiz is a step in the right direction
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 runs on Android 6.0.1 with the latest TouchWiz overlay. Overlay Samsung in each subsequent installment looks nicer and is more useful. So it is this time. We find a lot of improvements, starting with the remodeled quick menu shortcuts, and ending with contextual tooltips in the main menu. My favorite features of Galaxy Note 7 mentioned in a separate text.
Unfortunately, Samsung would not be himself if he did not put the whole tons of preinstalled applications. It looks a little caricatured, when the next store Google Play we also have a Samsung Apps, and all the basic applications (email, calendar, internet) have their counterparts Samsung phones. This reluctance to solutions, Google is almost palpable.
The camera is in a class by itself
The new Samsung phones camera Much has been written. This used in Note 7 is no different in terms of the components of the camera Samsung Galaxy S7. Gently changed matters algorithms, although there are changes that can be seen with the naked eye.
In brief: Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has one of the absolutely best hearing among the existing smartphones. This consists of not only the quality of images, but also comfort. Camera application is very fast, like autufocus. You do not need to resort to manual modes to conjure up a nice picture.
The results of Samsung’s really hard to beat, they know from other manufacturers. Smartphones such as LG and Huawei G5 P9 are no better in terms of image quality, but offer additional features: ultra-wide lens, or matrix monochrome Leica. Samsung feels confident enough that you do not need to use such additives.

The battery is ill in Note 7
3500 mAh is theoretically a lot, but in practice this is not enough for the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. smartphone with difficult withstand to the end of the day. Around midnight, the battery indicator fluctuated sadly in the vicinity of 10-15 percent.
Depending on the day, was reflected in a time of 3.5 to approx. 4.5 hours working with the screen on. Hardly.
Fortunately, Galaxy Note 7 is equipped with fast charging technology and wireless charging. The latter had no opportunity to check, but a quick charging function, without which I can not imagine a smartphone in 2016.
I did a test that shows the speed of charging the smartphone. Galaxy Note 7 plugged into the charger when he was 15 per cent. batteries and checking the battery level every 15 minutes. After the first fifteen minutes was 31 percent smartphone., 30 minutes – 47 per cent., 45 min – 63 per cent., And at – 78 per cent., And after 75 min – 93 percent. As you can see, even half an hour when the charger is able to give a really big reserve of energy.
a set of adapters that Samsung adds to the box. USB-C – micro USB and USB-C – a full-size USB.
The Galaxy Note 7 load through the USB-C, and in the box there’s a small adapter for Micro USB connector and the adapter with USB -C on the full-size USB. Very nice that Samsung adds these trifles. It is good to have somewhere in the portfolio such a small adapter, like eg. The pin into the drawer SIM card.
A security?
The fingerprint reader in the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 works without any reservations. It is fast and reliable, even when slightly damp finger, or the imprecise grip the phone. You can rely on him.
On the other hand, the reader iris of the eye is much less successful. Yes, it works, even at night, in complete darkness. Only that sometimes has its moods. I would say that it is effective in approx. 3/4 of the cases. That’s a lot, but not enough to avoid irritation. Personally, I gave up this way of unlocking the screen, the more it requires to raise smartphone at face height.
I really like to be a function of the protected directory to which you can access just the iris scan. In this directory you can place any application that will be logged on other accounts than the standard applications. Kind of reminds me a principle of incognito in a Web browser. This is a very convenient feature eg. For office use.
summary
The longer I use the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, the more inclined to the view that this is the best smartphone ever came in my hands. If I had him issue an assessment, it would be a strong 9/10. The highest note (Note’a?) Should not be too ponderous for places TouchWiz and susceptibility to scratches.
who recommend the purchase of Samsung Galaxy Note 7? Businessman, your office worker who loves technological innovations, gadżeciarzowi and aesthetes who likes to surround himself with pretty objects.
Who would not recommend Note’a 7? A person who spends money wisely. When it comes to value for money, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 falls really pale. 3800 zł! For drawing up the phone! In any industry the highest shelf hardware is priced disproportionately high in relation to the central part of the offer, but Samsung probably a little gone too far.
Personally, instead Note’a 7 would go for the Samsung Galaxy S7 version edge. The smartphone also looks beautiful, it is also fast, has a splendid camera and waterproof, and not pushing up the price of mailing additives, or stylus, scanner retina and the average useful innovations in software.
Highlights:
- sensational appearance,
- the top-quality,
- a great screen with beautiful curls,
- sensational camera,
- high-performance,
- waterproof
- Micro SD card reader,
- (after all) the stylus S Pen.
Cons:
- for low battery,
- unnecessary overload functions (menu edge, part of the function stylus)
- a lot of built-in applications Samsung, which not all will suit
- retinal scanner requires refinement,
- susceptibility glass scratch
- price.
