Note 7 Review

• Pros

  Top-of-the-line performance. Fantastic display. Improved S Pen design and functionality. Reasonably easy to handle for the size. Gorgeous, distinctive edge design.

• Cons

  Expensive. Carrier bloatware.

• Bottom Line

  The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is the most attractive and powerful phablet you can buy, but it's also the most expensive.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is the large-screen phone for 2016 that Android power users have been anxiously waiting to upgrade to, and it takes several cues from the Galaxy S7 Edge.
Sure, the S7 Edge already stretched our fingertips into near-phablet territory with a 5.5-inch display in March. But it didn't have two Note-series staples: a 5.7-inch screen and the S Pen.
The Note 7 maximizes the screen space, while minimizing its body, and it includes a small stylus that slides right into the phone – no matter which way you put it in this time.
