Over the weekend and the day before August 2nd, expect to be barraged with more leaks and early information starting with more details from a Redditor who claimed that he “had the Galaxy Note 7 in hand today”. Known as ‘samsungsmart’ on the thread, this guy proudly said that he was the same guy who leaked the flagship Galaxy 7 and 7 Edge some time ago. He even challenged other redditors for an AMA session. One senior Reddit user approved of the thread and noted that he has a good track record in leaking stuff.
This guy ‘samsungsmart’ shared a lot of information about the new Galaxy S7 although we already know most of them. It’s interesting to have someone confirm what we know so far but as with any other rumors and speculations, we’re taking all these with a pinch of salt. According to this source, the phone is codenamed ‘GRACE’. This detail we know already but only for the TouchWiz UI.
The source shared that the Note 7’s body is closer in design to the S7 edge with the rounded edges and a slight edge display. This could mean a Note 7 with curved edge screen–not flat. He also said that 64GB will be the standard plus 4GB RAM. A blue Note 7 will be shown off at launch. Other color options will be Silver and Black as standard and the Gold edition will be for global release. As with the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, the phone will be known for its water- and dust-resistance. It’s better now because you can even use the S-Pen (stylus) under water.
The retina/iris scanner has been confirmed together with the 12MP camera, 3500mAh battery, Gorilla Glass 4 screen, and USB Type C. As for the special features, our source said the S-Pen can translate words in other languages by simply hovering over them. The stylus also allows you to make GIF by tracing a part of a video. There’s also a special slow motion feature that can be controlled with a slider bar and can detect dynamic movement.
Unconfirmed or rather not mentioned was the processor–Snapdragon 821/820 or Exynos 8890? No confirmation either if the micro SD slot will support UFS cards. Interestingly, other “sources” also shared what they know. One noted that the phone will use Gorilla Glass 5 and series 8 aluminum. The same guy said that there will be no flat variant.
This AMA thread has given us small confirmations about the next-gen Galaxy Note 7 and Note 7 edge. Any more information and leaked images are welcome so bring it on.

My Galaxy Note 4 is just fine.
Thank you.
I agree, thinking of just replacing the battery and holding on to my note 4 a bit longer.
That’s what I did.
reading this on my note 4 with a ir blaster, 200gb sd card, and 10,00 mha battery, that is replaceable, a perfect screen, and Android 6.0. still no real innovation, where’s my laser pointer? my night vision camera? my choice of battery size? a larger screen with less bezel – finally a sd card wow! and the price, for what?????
