Why we’re also disappointed with the Galaxy Note7

Before you proceed, let us clarify that we loved the Samsung Galaxy Note7. It’s almost everything we expected it to be. However, the inner geek in us wanted a bit more. Samsung has made it a mandate to be always ahead of the pack and it has done so very well (and wowed a lot of people) each time it announces a new flagship phone.

And one more thing, read our “7 Winning Features of the Galaxy Note7” here too.

So, while everything seems fine and dandy, there are a few things we thought Samsung could have considered including into the Note7.

Bigger Battery. We already know the S6 Edge+ and the S7 Edge had 3,600mAh so we’re expecting a little bit bigger than that. While the Note7’s 3,500mAh I actually an upgrade to the 3,00mAh on the Note5, we think they could have added a few hundred mAh more. Making it 4,000mAh would have been excellent.

No 6GB RAM. Close to half a dozen brands already have 6GB of RAM while dozens of mid-range phones also run on 4GB of RAM. We were really expecting the Galaxy Note7 to have 6GB, even 8GB just because Samsung can afford it. We’ve always known Samsung to really push the limits of their smartphones, especially the Galaxy Note series. Why stop now?

No 4K Display. The QHD resolution has been around for 2 years and we’ve seen the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium packing a 4K display in a 5.5-inch screen. At 5.7 inches, the Note 7 could benefit from a little more bragging rights.

Getting these 3 additional features included in the Note7 would have made it the best smartphone of 2016, hands down. Nevertheless, it’s a great smartphone and you’d be hard-pressed to look for a match elsewhere.

Samsung GT-N5100 shows up in GL Benchmark

Just before the end of October, we’re reported that Samsung filed for a DLNA certification for a device that seems to be an upcoming Galaxy Note with a model number GT-N5110. Along with the scoop, we also noted that the alleged device may be a smaller SGN handset as suggested by its lower model number. But it seems we thought wrong.


SGN7

The GT-N5100 made its first premature virtual appearance in NenaMark2 back in November, now it was spotted being tested in GLBenchmark. The recent leak suggests that the upcoming Jelly bean tablet will sport a 7-inch WXGA (1280 x 800) display instead of 5-inch or smaller handset that we predicted. Moreover, the Galaxy Note 7 (unofficial name) will be powered by the South Korean tech giant’s very own Exynos 4412 quad-core processor with a 1.6GHz clock speed.

I think it’s safe to say that Sammy will officially unveil the GT-N5100 in the upcoming CES 2013 and MWC 2013. It’ll be interesting to see how Samsung price this 7-inch tablet, considering that other manufacturers are also rumored to release their own little take on the handy tablet with $99 price tag.
