Samsung Galaxy Note 7 announced

● 4GB RAM

● 64 GB flash storage – no other capacities available – although Samsung is offering a free 256GB Micro SD card with pre-orders

● faster performance

● higher-capacity battery – 3500mAh

● smaller & lighter than Note 5

● USB type C replaces Micro USB for charge & sync

● iris scanning

● waterproof (IP68) – S-pen too – so you can write on the Note 7 screen under water – if you can think of a reason to – more likely to be useful is resistance to momentary immersion, splash, rain, or spray without damage to S-pen or phablet
