The naming was confirmed over the weekend as Evan Blass managed to leak out the logo that Samsung will be using for the upcoming Galaxy Note phone. Aside from the logo leak, other details about the Galaxy Note 7 has also been leaked. Specifications-wise, the Galaxy Note 7 is confirmed to be sporting a 5.7″ QHD Super AMOLED touchscreen, 64GB of onboard memory with microSD support, 12MP rear camera with dual-pixel phase-detection autofocus, 5MP front camera. an Iris Scanner, and a IP68 rating.
Colour configurations for the Galaxy Note 7 has also been leaked as Blass further states that the phone will come in black, silver and blue configurations. Indeed GalaxyClub.nl has managed to find an application for Blue Coral that was filed by Samsung, hinting that this would be the official colour name for the blue Note 7 variant. Judging from Samsung’s recent history, it isn’t too much of a stretch to say that a Pink/Rose Gold option would be available a few months after the Note 7 is launched.
Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 is expected to launch in early August.
