For months on end we’ve been hearing about the new Galaxy Note, and Samsung will call it the Note 7 instead of the Note 6. It will be similar to the Galaxy Note 5, just like the new S7 is nearly identical to the Galaxy S6. However, there are some major changes that all potential buyers need to know about before making a decision.
Many potential buyers passed on the Galaxy S6 or Galaxy Note 5 from 2015 due to small battery options and the lack of a micro-SD slot, but that was all fixed with models this year. Samsung learned from their mistakes, and everything that made the Galaxy S7 successful will be combined with new technology to make the Note 7 one of their best smartphones yet.
As a result most users with the Galaxy S6 either kept the phone a little longer, upgraded to the Galaxy S7 (or S7 Edge) or are now waiting for the slightly bigger and better Galaxy Note 7. This will help buyers decide if the Galaxy S7 is worth getting now, waiting a little longer for the new Note, or even upgrading from the S7 to the Note 7.
