From Consumer Reports (entire article here): A more consolidated, sensible interface. Samsung already has one of the most intuitive interfaces in the smartphone marketplace, smartly laying out critical phone settings in an easy-to-read format. And when you don’t immediately see what you're looking for, the phone’s search engine is quite good at hunting down lesser-known features and controls. For the Note7, Samsung made things a tad easier by consolidating the list of roughly 30 settings adjustments to about 16, nestling similar features under one umbrella. You’ll also have deeper access to app features from the pull-down notifications bar. For instance, in addition to launching the flashlight, you’ll also be able to adjust the intensity of its beam.
We’ll have more on the Note 7 once we can submit the phone to our in-depth lab tests.
Correction: This story originally stated that apps placed in Secure Folder would be encrypted. It has been updated to clarify that only the data stored by the apps will be encrypted. We also indicated that Samsung currently has plans to port Secure Folder to the Galaxy S7. It does not.
