Samsung Galaxy Note7: An excellent phone for the high-price market
If you've been watching the Olympics in the U.S., you have certainly seen the inescapable ads for Samsung's Galaxy Note7 phone. But these crushingly ubiquitous ads emphasize the phone's stylus without mentioning two of its prime attractions: its terrific screen and its enhanced security features.
Fast and fashionable
The Note7 measures 6.0 x 2.9 x 0.3 in. and weighs just shy of 6 oz. The superb Super AMOLED screen, curved at the long edges, is 5.7 inches diagonal with QuadHD resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels.
(By the way, let's just call this a phone and retire the increasingly meaningless word "phablet." Smartphones, particularly at the high end, have been getting bigger over the last year.

We're talking about 0.1-in. differences in length and width.)
