Much is being said about the possible arrival of a Samsung Galaxy Note 7Since the rest of the devices that are compatible with the S Pen stylus are doing very well in the market, especially the one with a 5,5-inch screen (Galaxy Note 2). But, to date, there was no sign that the "gossip" had any sign of being really true.
Up to now. From what has been learned thanks to Phandroid, is that a device with the name of GT-N5100 It's been spotted in the results of the NenaMark2 benchmark, and this outlet suggests that it could very well be the long-awaited Samsung model with a 7-inch display (they're using a designation very similar to previous models). Therefore, we could be looking at the arrival of a new product in the Galaxy Note range that will compete in the tablet market with devices like the Nexus 7 or iPad Mini... complicated, but feasible.
Here we leave you the capturing the results which have caused rumors to appear and have led to the belief that the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is a product that will finally reach the market:
The details of the information you have
The information that has been obtained in the tests is the following: your screen will be compatible with HD (720p) natively and therefore its resolution could well be 1.280 x 720. Therefore, the usual when it comes to this component and, therefore, the speculated resolution of 1.280 x 800 will not be the starting point.
The SoC will be a model of quad core 1,6 GHz. It will be an Exynos model, although it is not known exactly which one, but what does seem very clear is that the graphics card (GPU) will be a Mali 400 MP, so its good performance with games is more than assured. Regarding the operating system, the tests have been carried out with Android 4.1.2, which could well be more current when the time comes.
Regarding its possible arrival, it is believed that this would occur for benchmark technology fairs, and perhaps we'll see something of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 at events like CES or Mobile World Congress. As for the possible price, as usual, there's no word yet on the matter.
In short, if this arrival is confirmed, it seems very clear that the 7-inch tablet range is one of the most active at present, which is due to its excellent reception by users ... who, yes, opt for an inexpensive model but are solvent in performance. Will Samsung offer this?
