How it works
Global models of the Galaxy Note 7 use a Samsung Exynos 8890 octa-core processor with a Mali-T880 MP12 graphics processor. Models sold in Canada, China, the United States, and Japan use a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 quad-core processor with an Adreno 530 graphics processor. The device contains 4 GB of LPDDR4 RAM and 64 GB of UFS 2.0 internal storage, expandable via a microSDXC card slot up to 256 GB.[1][2][3][5]
The Galaxy Note 7 uses a 5.7-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560 by 1440 pixels. The rear camera is a 12-megapixel sensor with f/1.7 aperture and optical image stabilization, capable of recording 4K video at 30 frames per second. The front camera is a 5-megapixel sensor with an f/1.7 wide-angle lens. The device includes an iris scanner and a front-mounted fingerprint sensor for biometric authentication. The battery is a 3500 mAh lithium-ion unit that is not user-replaceable and supports 15W wired charging and Qi wireless charging.[1][2][3][5]
