Samsung's next phablet will be called Galaxy Note 7 instead of Note 6, new report claims

25 May, 2016
It is alleged that the Korean company wants all of its flagships released in the same year to have the same number - S7 and Note 7 in 2016, for example.

Makes total sense to make the change to Note 7 as I found S7 & S7 edge mixed up with Note 6 for the very reason that Samsung states. I want to buy it right now please.

        samsung note 7 or whatever- galaxy 6 did not sell well at all worldwide including s korea itself .. now there is wellknown superstition against 6 just like 13 ..
        note 7 shall have to attractive to customers -specs - functionalities -price ..we have samsung note 4 which has started to "play up " since last 2 weeks .. factory reset has not helped ..randomm freezing of screen -self rebooting .. pages shuffling at random .. it has now marshmallow 601 --not helped the malfunctions ..
        our network has offered upgrade -at a price --warranty repairs systems NOT satisfactory ..
        so now where to ? samsug note 7 - lets see when born ..WHATS IN A NAME .. ITS ALL ABOUT PERFORMANCE ..do u agree ..

          The main reason is the new Note will pack 2 years of innovation and will have iris scanner in addition to the fingerprint scanner.

                Not surprising considering how good the S7 turned out to be and the universal raving reviews it received, which it thoroughly deserves, receiving full marks by almost every reviewer in the media. Not even the iconic S2 or iPhone 4 came close. But it is clearly an afterthought by Samsung to call it the Note 7, albeit an understandable afterthought.

                  Dual edge screen?!?Who the hell needs this idiot trend?!?The Note had a nice big,and wide screen,where you could comfortably type on the keyboard,without mistyping frequently.Now,the keyboard will shrank to a narrower one,because of the dual edges.Plus,there will be a lot of accidentally interacting with the apps,or notifications on the edges.

But the other phones lacking in areas compared to the note are more advanced despite their lacking because they have usn type c.
                      Such astounding logic.

                        Wise move -if true.
                        I just hope the new Note gets "USB C", water/dust proofing and micro sd slot.

                                  I can't believe that it will be note 7 not note 6!
                                  But less than 3 months and everything will be official, planning to get the new note device so just to wait and see

                                        You sure them using this name doesn't have anything to do with the fact that you know, they have the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge? Clearly they're trying to keep some consistency in their naming convention.
