Oh well, looks like another flop. Note 4 might stay with me another year .

Doesn't look like it's going to be a flop to me, why so?

just so you know, carphonewarehouse will be offering a free gear VR with Note 7.

As I'm upgrading from a xperia z3, it will be a worthy upgrade for me.

So there is a new Gear VR on the way?

A prototype of the Note 7:

The hardware is not final and the software indicates it's for Korea's SK Telecom. And it's an Exynos version, Exynos 8890 with 4GB of RAM to be precise. The camera is a Sony IMX260, though we'll likely be seeing Samsung's sensor as well, same as with the S7.

The video starts off with a tour of the hardware, notice the always on screen. S Pen focus is at 3 minutes, its top clicks like a pen (and like Note5's S Pen). Around the 5-minute mark, you can see an IR light come on - that's the Iris scanner in action. Later on, around 8 minutes in, you can see the Galaxy Note7 breeze through several benchmarks.

Looks as though we will get Samsung Cloud which backs up your data to the cloud and 5GB of free storage comes with it. A USB-C to microUSB adapter will be in the box.

I don't have more light on it, my brother handles all marketing for them, said that on the 19th the deal will start.

I expect that Samsung will open pre-orders immediately after the event or the following day and everyone else following on the 19th.

Hiya.

my nexus 6p got nicked over the weekend and was about to order a replacement but the 128gb are out of stock and came to ocuk to ask about this when i saw this thread and i was like umm this is perfect timing.

Do you know if the note 7 will come with 128gb storage or at least a micro sd card slot?

Comes with 64GB storage and microSD expansion.
