This week, Samsung officially confirmed that the upcoming Galaxy Note 7 will be announced on August 2, which means the wait is almost over. Ahead of the release date, some new photos have leaked confirming the rumors that the Galaxy Note 7 will have a curved display. Here’s what we know so far.
Over the past few months, we’ve received countless leaks, heard rumors, and even seen press images or concept photos, along with benchmark results and more. We have a really good idea of what to expect at this point, but new photos guesses ahead of the official event and reveals the Galaxy Note 7.
Below are a series of photos showing the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 in black running the latest Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow with Samsung’s new light gray and blue UI. This software was first released on the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge earlier this year, which makes these leaked photos look even more legit. Read on for more details.
This is the curved Galaxy Note 7, which will be out on August 2
The one you see above is the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. With a 5.7-inch curved “Edge” display, similar to last year’s Galaxy S7 Edge and Galaxy S6 Edge+, rumors have been circulating about what to expect this year, but the consensus is that Samsung only has one Galaxy Note 7 that it will be put on the market. One of these phones will have a large curved display of 5.7 inches. This is the Onyx Black model, which should be all black, and buyers can also expect Silver Titanium and Coral Blue color options. No gold this year.
It’s possible that we may see a flat model similar to the Galaxy Note 5 in 2015, but this has yet to be confirmed. There have been leaked devices spotted with model numbers suggesting a regular flat model is coming, but we’ll have to wait until August 2 for Samsung’s announcement to know for sure. It is very likely that the company will launch a regular Galaxy Note 7 and then a Galaxy Note 7 Edge. At the same time, we can get a large curved phablet like the device shown above and below.
In June, popular leaker @evleaks posted a number of specs alongside photos, but we still don’t have the full picture. We know the Galaxy Note 7 will look similar to last year’s Galaxy Note 5, but also to March’s Galaxy S7 Edge. In the end it will probably be a combination of the two.
Based on all the leaked information we’ve received so far, along with these new photos, we have a pretty good idea of what to expect. At the end of the day, the new Galaxy Note 7 should have a big curved screen, more storage, a big battery, an improved S-Pen with new software features, an Iris eye scanner for security, a micro SD slot to expand storage . It will be IP68 dust and water resistant.

Basically, it’s a better, faster and safer version of the Galaxy Note 5 than last year, with improvements in all key areas. Even if the rumors are true and only have 4GB of RAM, the Galaxy Note 7 is still one of the best smartphones released by Samsung and should be one of the better options for all of 2016.
We’ll know all the details live from New York City on August 2 in a few weeks, and it could air the same day or August 15. Stay tuned for more details.
