T-Mobile may start taking preorders for the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 before the end of July.
Rumors of the Galaxy Note 7 have been circling the tech industry for many months, but the Korean company has not revealed any details of the handset. However, Samsung has confirmed an Unpacked event on Aug. 2 in New York, where the company will launch the Galaxy Note 7.
"With added functionality of the S Pen and large screen, the Galaxy Note7 is a powerful instrument for achievement and self-expression, and is made for those who want to get the most from their phones — and their lives. Galaxy Note7 will help people do more in work, at home and everywhere in between. We can't wait to tell you more about it!" says Samsung.
While Samsung is preparing for the big launch, SamMobile has received some images, which reveal that preorders for the highly anticipated device have already started in Dubai. Customers can pay AED 500 (about $130) and preorder the Galaxy Note 7.
Some rumors are indicating that preorders of the Galaxy Note 7 on T-Mobile will start soon as well. Speculations are also rife that Samsung may release the handset on Aug. 2, the day of the unveiling.
Given that preorders for Galaxy Note 7 have already opened in Dubai, it seems plausible for carriers and retailers in other parts of the world to begin taking preorders for the phablet as well.
The Galaxy Note 7 is expected to sport a 5.8-inch RGB AMOLED display. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 823 processor and 6 GB of RAM are expected to power the upcoming Samsung phablet.
The Galaxy Note 5 does not have a microSD card slot to expand the storage capacity, but its successor may eliminate this drawback. It is highly likely that the Galaxy Note 7 will have a microSD card slot for storage expansion.
Older handsets in the Galaxy Note series are not dustproof or water resistant. However, most of the top-end devices launched this year, including the company's Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge, are fully dustproof and water resistant when submerged in 1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes. Reports suggest that the Galaxy Note 7 will also be dustproof and water resistant to be on par with other high-end phones.
Samsung's next flagship mobile phone may also include an iris scanner and a fingerprint scanner for improved security of the device.
The Galaxy Note 7 may come running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system straight out of the box.
The launch date of the Galaxy Note 7 is not far, and customers will have to wait until Samsung officially reveals the full specs of the device.
