Samsung’s Galaxy Note 6 May Provide Huge Challenge To iPhone 7 Plus

Samsung's Galaxy Note 6 and the iPhone 7 Plus will be released during the third quarter of 2016, and details about both of these phones have leaked out. On Friday morning, BGR unveiled exciting information about the Galaxy Note 6 that is based on information from a Dutch website.

"According to the website's sources, Samsung is testing out a version of the Note 6 that has a giant 4,000mAh battery, which would be a step up from the Galaxy S7 Edge's 3,600 mAh battery. The website also claims the device will have a 5.8-inch display with a resolution of 1,440 x 2,560 pixels, along with 6GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage."

The Note 6 could have an even better battery life than the S7 Edge.[Photo by Daryl Deino]The 3,600 mAh battery on Samsung's S7 Edge is already outstanding and power users have not experienced any problems getting through the day without having to recharge their phones. A 4,000 mAh battery would probably allow most Galaxy Note 6 users to forget their chargers for at least two days. However, it is unfortunate that Samsung is increasing the size of the screen without increasing the pixel density.

While the human eye won't be able to tell the difference, using the Note's Gear VR device would still reveal a screen door effect because there aren't enough pixels to counter this when the screen is right in front of your face. That's why it was hoped that Samsung would put a 4K screen on their upcoming Note 6. However, a 4K screen would definitely eat up more battery life. Still, there is a lot of excitement for the upcoming Galaxy Note 6 on Twitter.

Apple iPhone 6s Plus

Will Apple finally increase the screen resolution of the new iPhone 7 Plus?[Photo by David Becker/Getty Images]Can Samsung convince iPhone fans to switch over? The iPhone 7 Plus looks to be a big upgrade from the iPhone 6s Plus. According to Macworld U.K., the new phone could get a screen resolution bump. It will have a Smart Connector like the iPad Pro for extra peripherals, such as a keyboard. In a controversial move, Apple is also removing the headphone jack and will provide some type of wireless earbuds with the new iPhone. It's also possible that the 7 Plus will have a ceramic back.

While it is true that Apple is looking to upgrade the iPhone screen to use OLED technology, that probably won't happen until 2017. However, according to MacRumors, the iPhone 7 Plus could have a dual-lens camera system that takes DSLR-like images with 2-3x optical zoom and improved performance in low-light conditions.

Excitement for the iPhone 7 Plus has been building on Twitter.

The iPhone 7 & iPhone 7 Plus, will be unveiled in September. I am excited ????

Although it appears that the Galaxy Note 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will be the two hottest smartphones, they could face stiff competition from Microsoft's upcoming Surface Phone. Unlike Samsung and Apple's offerings, the Surface Phone will allegedly run a full desktop operating system, Windows 10. How Microsoft will fit a desktop operating system into a small phone is anybody's guess, but Microsoft could surprise people. Which smartphone are you most excited about — the Galaxy Note 6, the iPhone 7 Plus, or the Surface Phone? Let us know in the comments section.

Samsung is building a revolutionary ROLL-UP smartphone

GETTY • US PATENT OFFICE Example of a flexible display, LEFT, and the illustrations filed with the Samsung patent, RIGHT Samsung has been awarded a US patent for a brand-new foldable, rollable display to use across its smartphone and tablet ranges. The South Korean technology firm recently used its flexible display technology in the award-winning Galaxy S6 Edge, which has a dual curved QHD screen. However this latest patent, which was published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, shows the company has bolder ambitions for its curved displays.

The Samsung Galaxy Note7 (S820) Review

This year has been difficult for smartphones, which is a bit of a paradox when you consider just how much better things have gotten compared to last year. With Snapdragon 820, 650, 652, and 625 we've finally moved past the shadow of the Snapdragon 810, 808, and 617/615. While there were Android devices that shipped with the Exynos 7420, they were often paired with a modem that was not necessarily the most power efficient. Despite all of this, there seems to be a general disappointment with smartphones. People are increasingly finding it hard to justify phones like the HTC 10 or Galaxy S7 with competition from OnePlus, Xiaomi, and even Apple with their iPhone SE. In this context the Galaxy Note7 brings much of the flavor of the Galaxy S7 edge, but blends it with the S-Pen of the Note line and a few new features like the iris scanner. If you were paying attention to the industry with the launch of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note5, it's very much more of the same rather than the m

Why do Android fanboys hate admitting that Samsung copied Apple?

It's impossible to cover the mobile market without diving into the good ol' "iOS vs. Android" debate from time to time. These are the two biggest mobile platforms on the planet, so they're constantly being compared. Likewise, Samsung and Apple are the world's top two smartphone vendors, so their phones are constantly pitted against each other as well. Of course, there's another reason Apple and Samsung are often mentioned in the same breath: after entering the market, Samsung quickly grew to become the top mobile device maker on the planet thanks in large part to Apple. First, Samsung did everything it possibly could to copy Apple's iPhone and iPad. Then, it spent billions upon billions of dollars belittling Apple products in TV, online, and print advertising. Samsung spent years positioning its own devices as the cool alternative to Apple's iPhone, and its efforts paid off big time. Even now, Samsung continues to copy Apple all the time acro
