The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is an Android smartphone that was released in August 2016 as a successor to the Galaxy Note 5. The Galaxy Note 7 is the sixth main device in the Galaxy Note series, however, Samsung branded it as "7" so that consumers would not perceive it as being inferior to the flagship Samsung Galaxy S7.
The Galaxy Note 7 is an evolution of the Galaxy Note 5 that inherited hardware components and improvements from the Galaxy S7, including the restoration of expandable storage and IP68 water resistance, and new features such as a dual-sided curved display, improvements to the bundled stylus, and new software features that utilize it as an iris-recognition system and a USB Type-C port.
On October 10, 2016, Samsung decided to stop sales and shipments of Galaxy Note 7 devices as part of its commitment to customer safety. The company sent a notice to users asking them to back up their data and switch off their devices, after fire incidents had occurred.
