Note 7 vs Note 5... Differences

[phone-a-holic]

Here's what the Note 7 has that the Note 5 doesn't:

• Curved screens (sharper, less sloping than the S7 Edge)
• USB-C charger port (Samsung's first phone to adopt the new standard)
• Iris scanner to unlock the phone with your eyes
• Gorilla Glass 5 screen (the first phone with Corning's new screen tech)
• More sensitive, accurate S Pen stylus
• Water-resistant phone body and S Pen
• MicroSD card slot (like the S7 phones)
• Larger battery (3,500 mAh versus Note 5's 3,000 mAh)
• Better low-light camera
• New S Pen tricks, like magnification and GIF-making
• Stylus won't get stuck if you jam it in backwards
• Coral Blue color choice (it's great)

Also, you can scale the resolution down as well, right?

Yes. I saw that feature in the Android Authority Note 7 video on Youtube. It was listed in the medium power saving menu.

What I can't get is folks comparing the Note 7 with the Galaxy S7/S7 Edge. There is 2 different markets the S series and the Note series. Comparing the two is stupid in my opinion. Coming from the Note 4, the Note 7 is a big upgrade. Thanks for the post.

A lot of media junkies buy the Notes. I am willing to bet there are more media junkies than professionals that buy the Note.

I would add HDR screen to the screen bullet .

One thing that I like on the note 7 that the note 5 doesn't have is that the black color is truly black with all the chrome accents blacked out.

Yeah, that black looks awesome.
