Cell phone galaxy note 7. Samsung Galaxy Note7 Exynos - Specifications
The cameras of many modern flagships could be almost flawless, if not for one drawback - they all often lack image stabilization. It is for such cases that DJI was created OSMO Mobile 2, which is reviewed in this article. Today we will figure out how this Steadicam differs from its predecessor and whether owners of the first generation of the accessory should buy it.
DJI OSMO Mobile 2
Specifications
- Controlled viewing angles: panorama: ±170°, roll: -90° to + 70°, tilt: ±170°;
- Rotation speed: 120°/s;
- Angular vibration range: ±0.03°;
- Battery: lithium-ion, 2600 mAh, charging time – 2 hours;
- Dimensions: 295 x 113 x 72 mm;
- Weight: 485 g (without smartphone).
Design and ergonomics
The first generation of OSMO Mobile had one significant drawback, which caused many users a lot of headaches. The device had no problems with compactness (it can easily be stuffed into a backpack) or with stabilization. However, when it came to mounting it on a tripod, I had to get sophisticated with a bunch of adapters. OSMO Mobile 2 solved the problem with a universal 1/4-inch connector at the bottom of the handle. Now the accessory can be attached to almost anything.
OSMO Mobile 2 is made of high-strength modified nylon, it is much stronger than the usual plastic from which the first model of the device was made. The second Steadicam also received a completely redesigned design (with the transfer of the main functional elements) and a more comfortable handle.
The inconvenient smartphone mount has been replaced with a new holder that easily changes the distance between the terminals with one movement of the hand. Now the user does not have to fiddle with a screwdriver to insert a large phablet. The mount holds your phone (or camera) very securely, so you don’t have to worry about their safety during active shooting.
Another important innovation is the multifunctional trigger, or rather the lack thereof. This key was removed, and its functions were transferred to the mode change button, which was located exactly under the thumb. There is also a small joystick for manually changing the orientation of the steadicam, a power button and several LED lights.
OSMO Mobile is still a non-separable model; you cannot detach the gimbal from the handle. The accessory's replaceable batteries have been eliminated; now its battery is charged via a regular microUSB connector. You can also power your smartphone from it while shooting.
Control
Before you start using the Steadicam, you need to install the proprietary DJI Go application; it synchronizes your smartphone with the device and allows you to conveniently control its functions directly from your phone. Once connected, OSMO Mobile 2 immediately levels the phone to a horizontal position and waits for the user's instructions.
For fans of Instagram stories, they saved the opportunity to switch the Steadicam to vertical shooting mode. Although few people approve of vertical shooting, this feature will be very useful for Instagram or Snapchat bloggers. True, there is no quick transition between the two modes. You will have to first remove the smartphone from the mount, and then manually “reorient” the accessory by pressing a small button on the case.
It is noteworthy that the new product also used artificial intelligence to facilitate cinematic shooting. ActiveTrack can automatically capture moving objects and keep them centered in the frame. In the DJI Go app, you can change a variety of settings for preset Steadicam movements. For example, selecting Walk or Sport mode. The first is adapted for normal walking, and the second stabilizes the camera during sudden movements such as running.
By double-clicking the Mode button, the stabilizer locks the smartphone in a horizontal position, and triple-clicking switches shooting to the front camera. Initially, learning to hold the camera correctly to take smooth shots is quite difficult, but an understanding of the basic functionality of DJI OSMO Mobile 2 comes within a couple of hours active work with Steadicam. Of course, to develop the device to its full potential, you need to train even longer.
Battery
The built-in battery is one of the key differences from the previous generation, it replaces the replaceable batteries that were previously used in OSMO Mobile. By increasing the battery capacity, it was possible to achieve very high performance autonomy - as much as 15 hours without recharging versus 4 hours for the first model.
Video shooting quickly drains the smartphone's battery, so the manufacturer has provided the ability to recharge it directly from the Steadicam. A capacity of 2600 mAh is quite enough to urgently recharge your phone.
Price
Another reason to buy OSMO Mobile 2 is its cost. The accessory will cost you almost twice as much as its predecessor (at the start of sales). The Steadicam will soon be available for purchase for $129.
Conclusion
- Low cost;
- Redesigned body;
- Improved autonomy;
- Possibility of recharging a smartphone.
- There is no quick switch to portrait orientation.
The DJI OSMO Mobile 2 is a rare case where a manufacturer lowers the price of a new product despite its improvements. The gadget will definitely be on the shopping list of most bloggers and just photography enthusiasts. However, if you already have the first generation of OSMO Mobile, upgrading to the new product will not bring you any special impressions, except that the time will improve battery life.
Our test of this Steadicam did not find any critical flaws in it. Except that some users may not like the too labor-intensive procedure of switching the device to portrait orientation mode.

Today is a very happy occasion to write a review, because I have a new one in my hands Samsung Galaxy Note7! I've personally gotten to know each of the generations, and even used most of them as my main smartphones, so I'm really interested in how things are going with each new release Galaxy Note. This is already the sixth acquaintance, but the number in the name is “seven” to be equal to S7. That's it, they forgot about it, no analytics, I'm just sharing my impressions of the device.

Video review of Samsung Galaxy Note 7
I already said that, because the difference between the S7 Edge and Note 7 is really small. This is a stylus, USB Type C, +0.2” for the screen, minus 100 mAh for the battery, new safety glass and an iris scanner. But with the Note 5 there are many more differences. This is new hardware, a slot for a memory card or for a second SIM card, new cameras, curved edges of the display, water resistance, it is 2 mm narrower, and what’s most interesting is that the stylus is no longer inserted with the back side! Plus all the differences from S7. So if you're wondering if last year's Note is worth replacing, yes, I would. But this is my personal opinion; protection from moisture is worth a lot to me.
Design and arrangement of elements
The design is similar to that of other “sevens”: it has a metal frame and glass on the front and back. But unlike the S-series, the glass on both the front and back is equally bent towards the metal frame. Therefore, the smartphone turned out to be symmetrical.
However, I don’t understand where they were aiming and in what symmetry system they inserted the new USB Type-C connector? It is somehow strongly shifted towards the bottom edge.
But the fact itself is very pleasing - for the first time Samsung has a USB Type-C connector. This is just epic cool! I really look forward to the day when there will be only one connector for everything in the world.
In terms of the arrangement of the elements, everything is very similar to what we see in the S7 Edge, except that the S-Pen stylus has been added. However, some elements have changed. For example, I was pleased with the home key; it is now slightly recessed into the frame and practically does not protrude from the body. This means that the scanner will not be scratched as much as before.
The headphone jack is still in place, we exhale, and a new window has appeared above the display. I’ll say a few words about him now.
Iris scanner
In addition to the fingerprint scanner, Note7 adds another level of protection – an eye scanner. You add your eyes once, and then the smartphone unlocks by scanning them. And even in complete darkness. If you look straight, it works very quickly, sometimes you don’t even have time to notice how the scanner turned on. But overall, it’s just a cool feature; it’s unlikely to become a very popular unlocking method, just like face unlock in Android.
Display
On paper, it seems that there are few differences from the SGS7 Edge at all – the screen is simply 0.2″ larger. But in practice, we also have new Gorilla Glass 5, as well as a different shape of curves on the sides. This is the most important difference, which makes the Note7 much more convenient to use than the S7 Edge. There are a minimum of false clicks on the edge, although they still happen; it is more convenient to hold it in your hand.
The rest of the characteristics are similar: Quad HD resolution, Super AMOLED matrix. The picture remains perfectly readable in the sun, and overall the display leaves the most pleasant impression. Most likely, this is the most advanced screen in mobile devices at the moment.
S Pen
The electronic S-Pen has become a little better in hardware. In particular, the thickness of the rod itself has almost halved - to 0.7 mm, and pressure gradations are now recognized up to 4000. This is twice as much as in the two previous generations, but this is unlikely to help you, it seems to me.
But some software things are more pleasing. What I liked most was the ability to make a GIF from any selected area, be it a menu interface or a video. Here's what happens:
The pen can also serve as a magnifying glass (I can’t imagine any use cases, to be honest), all the previous features remain. I don’t remember if this was possible before, but there is definitely an icon for adding a new item to the stylus drop-down fan. And a whole store for adding items.
Cameras
Neither the main nor the front cameras have changed at all compared to the Galaxy S7/S7 Edge: main – 12 MP, f1.7, pixel size 1.4 microns, optical image stabilization, video recording up to 4k resolution; front – 5 MP, video recording at 1440p.
Therefore, both photos and videos turn out exactly the same, but I still took a few examples of photos for you specifically from the Galaxy Note7.
Sample photos
But standard application The camera has undergone dramatic changes, it has become more similar to that of the Huawei P9. I consider the latter’s standard camera application to be the best among everything on the market, and now the camera in TouchWiz is very convenient. Swiping from left to right brings up the main camera modes, from right to left – filters (it would be better if there were settings, they are still called up by an icon), and swiping from bottom to top or vice versa changes the camera. The change happens very quickly. In general - a test.
Features and software
In terms of hardware, everything is identical to the S7/S7 Edge: Exynos 8890 with or Snapdragon 820, 4 GB of DDR4 RAM, 64 built-in, expandable with a card up to 2 TB, although these do not exist, battery capacity 3500 mAh. Everything is clear about the performance, it is the same as in the S7, but the autonomy should theoretically be worse, because the display is larger and the battery capacity is smaller. But judging by personal feelings, the difference is not noticeable. The smartphone will definitely be enough for a day of work.
But TouchWiz has been updated again, it is very different even from what is now in the S7/S7 Edge. And this is not bad, updates are, on the contrary, cool. I don’t understand another thing: these updates do not always reach other, still current models. For example, I'm not sure that the new touchwiz will arrive on my S7 Edge. And it’s sad that Samsung uses software updates as a tool to lure away customers; there is always a feeling that you no longer have such a cool smartphone. I hope I was wrong here and the update will arrive soon. And changes can be seen here and there. For example, a safe protected folder has appeared to hide content from prying eyes, an optimization item has appeared in the already changed settings, all items in the curtain now have drop-down functional menus, and so on. Well done, just do the same for other smartphones!
One of the interesting changes is the creation of a protected folder into which you can transfer content that is not subject to public viewing; for this purpose, the functionality of the KNOX system has been expanded. One of interesting features- the ability to install any duplicate application, for example, a second VKontakte or Telegram, into such a protected folder. The use of such technology is quite simple to come up with, and it will certainly find its fans.
Fires
The number of explosive jokes about the Note 7 has bothered even meme lovers, and this requires a lot of effort. Almost all YouTubers joked about how hot the Note 7 is. And this is definitely not on Samsung hand. Of course, there were cases of phone fires before, but in Note 7 they became widespread, albeit not large.What is known now?
- There is a small batch of devices, up to 5000 pieces, that have a battery defect.
- Batch of devices and their serial numbers known, but Samsung is recalling all devices worldwide.
This is the first time such a major situation has occurred with smartphones; Samsung's PR service initially reported that sales had been stopped due to the incredible number of pre-orders. A day later, another release came out: sales stopped due to problems with the battery and fire cases.
But is what is happening now so critical?
Fire incidents occur only in the United States and South Korea and do not affect the rest of the world.
There have been problems with smartphones before: smartphones did not connect to the network and were easily bent.
Smartphones do not explode, but rather get very hot and begin to smoke, this can be seen in videos from surveillance cameras of cases, of course, in some cases this can lead to a fire.
History, like any news story, will soon be forgotten. The main thing now is not to repeat the mistakes and not allow anything bad to happen. Of course, the reputation is damaged, there is a loss in the value of the shares and money will have to be spent on returns and overproduction, but do not forget that Samsung is a giant corporation that can afford to produce smartphones that light up at least every six months.
Main headache Samsung did it to themselves - for some reason they decided to recall all smartphones. Although the problem occurs with 0.3% of devices. They did not immediately admit the problem and tried to twist the situation into their own hands. They have been releasing firmware for a long time with a limit on the charging percentage. Knowing a specific batch, they do not update the firmware and do not remotely turn off devices that could be harmful to health.
This is probably a problem for a large corporation - the management vertical simply does not allow for a quick response to such situations. Let's hope that the incident will force management to think about solving such rapidly emerging problems. Otherwise, the company is doing well and they know how to make smartphones.
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Not only does it look like the best phablet of 2017, but it's also likely to fight for the title of one of the best smartphones year. The Note series includes the most anticipated Android smartphones, and the 7th release looks like it will be no exception. Users of the brand will be happy to know that the company intends to strengthen the security of the device.
The Galaxy Note 7 is expected to come with mobile payment functionality and responsive iris scanning technology. Many other features will allow the user to be more mobile and perform scheduled tasks on the go.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Rumors
To Samsung release There is still a long way to go for the Galaxy Note 7, but fans of the brand are already expecting new leaks and rumors about the flagship. Many changes in the concept, while increasing the basic specifications, have occurred in previous Note smartphones. But if you want something new and innovative, expect the Note 7 to release in 2017.
Samsung is launching its new Note flagships around the same time, but since Apple's high-end smartphone will launch around the same time, don't be surprised if the Note 7 launches earlier than planned.
Other rumors suggest a release in the second half of September, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Note 7 comes out much earlier.
There are also rumors about a display with new technology, thanks to which the images on the screen look more realistic, and the camera specifications will allow the user to literally immerse themselves in what is happening.
It may feature a 3D display, and there are also rumors of a fully foldable concept. We will continue to inform you about the most latest rumors about the Galaxy Note 7 and, of course, their confirmations as soon as new information appears.

Features of Samsung Galaxy Note 7
Even though there is still a lot of time before the official unveiling, there is a lot of speculation about the upcoming Galaxy Note 7. Samsung has done a great job of keeping the new innovations under wraps, but has already officially announced that the smartphone will have a foldable concept.
The company has already filed a patent application, which means we can start speculating on which series will receive the folding concept, or whether it will be a completely new series, or both. It's likely that the foldable Note 7 will have a dual-tier display that will allow independent viewing and interaction. But so far there is no reliable information on this matter.
Most likely, the Note 7 will be waterproof and will be able to offer fast wireless charging, with the ability fast charging, a fingerprint scanner, and a more responsive retinal scanner. Mobile payments are becoming increasingly popular, such as Samsung Pay and Android Pay with iris scanning technology, which is the best form of security at the moment.
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 concept
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 concept embodies the top characteristics of all previous models, thanks to which new smartphone will be more durable, safer, faster, and overall provide an excellent user experience.
Samsung has done a great job of creating a phone that is well suited for business and personal use. We also hope that the multitasking features of the new Note 7 will be even more impressive.
It is most likely that Samsung will switch to a new metal alloy that will reduce the weight of the smartphone and increase its durability. The virtually indestructible display will help consumers get protection out of the box. Everyone was really looking forward to this.
Due to the seamless body, the smartphone's battery will not be removable, but this inconvenience is compensated by a capacitive 4200 mAh battery.
Wireless charging and fast charging function will provide a full charge from 0% to 100% in less than 30 minutes. For those who are always on the move, the Galaxy Note 7 is the perfect smartphone.
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 price
Samsung plans to make Samsung Galaxy Note 7 price competitive, and its price tag will be comparable to that of the latest iPhone 7s Plus, which will be launched around the same time.
Although this flagship will be bigger, faster and boast a new set of features that we have yet to see, there are already reports that Samsung is going to slash the price of the device on launch day to make it affordable in a competitive market.
With startups launching cheap smartphones with almost similar specifications straight from China, it will be interesting to see if the pricing rumors are true at launch.
Many are already calling the Note 7 the best Android smartphone, and if you take the above into account, it's easy to see why.
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 pre-orders
You'll probably want to pre-order as soon as the Note 7 is unveiled. The new Note phones are selling quite quickly in markets around the world. Considering the high expectations of customers who want to buy the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, pre-ordering may be the only way to get the smartphone on launch day.
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 release date
It is most likely that residents South Korea, China, Thailand will see the smartphone earlier than residents of Western countries, including the US, UK, Canada, Europe and other markets.
Early iPhone 7s release date rumors claim that it will be released in Asia to the masses around the same time as the 7s Plus, with a price tag similar to the Note 7.

Turn it off and don't use it anymore. Moreover, the advice is addressed to all owners of this model: both those who are still using a fire-hazardous option, and those who bought a smartphone from conditionally safe lots or exchanged old device to a new one. The reason is that in the USA at least 4 cases of fire of just these very conditionally safe specimens have been recorded. In addition, one such smartphone caught fire in Korea, which was even recorded on video:
There is reason to believe that this move from Samsung is a sign of the end of history. Well, that is, the Galaxy Note 7 may finally disappear from the market. Let's see how this story developed.
_(1306).jpg)
This car burned down because of the Galaxy Note 7
However, exact number It is difficult to name the episodes, since it turned out that in a number of cases we were talking about other Samsung models, and sometimes the devices caught fire due to the fault of the users. For example, a 6-year-old child was not injured at all because of the Galaxy Note 7, and the very appropriate story about a Samsung tablet that caught fire on an airplane was not worth a damn: the device was simply crushed while adjusting the seat, as a result of which it caught fire. In its place there could be a tablet or smartphone from any manufacturer - Apple, Lenovo, Microsoft, LG, and so on. The outcome would have been exactly the same.
Meanwhile, airlines and aviation authorities in various countries got down to business. For example, Australian carriers Qantas, Jetstar and Virgin Australia allow Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to be used on flights: it was prohibited from being turned on and recharged on planes. Later, similar advice was given to passengers by the Federal Administration civil aviation USA and . However, no one really monitored compliance with these requirements: the Galaxy Note 7 is similar in design to a good dozen Samsung smartphones, and it is almost impossible to check which device the user is holding.

In countries where the Galaxy Note 7 was officially sold, programs were launched to replace copies with new, safe ones. Somewhere with smartphones from new batches they gave gift cards to receive applications, other bonuses somewhere. The safe version received a green battery indicator on the display (instead of white) and a special note on a sticker attached to the box. To force Galaxy Note 7 owners to quickly return/exchange fire-hazardous copies, Samsung released a firmware update that prevents batteries from charging more than 60%.
In Korea, Galaxy Note 7 sales are on October 1 (originally September 28), in the US around the same days, sales restart in Europe on October 28.
_(8936)_(5751)_(8476).jpg)
However, now the cards are completely mixed: as we said at the very beginning, Samsung asked users to turn off their smartphones, production of the model was suspended, and all retailers and operators were ordered to stop sales. How all this will end - God knows. Even if Samsung decides to start sales for the third time, it’s unlikely that anything worthwhile will come of it: the Galaxy Note 7’s image losses are colossal, and they - to be honest - concern not only the model itself, but also the brand as a whole. With money, everything is also difficult: despite the fact that according to Samsung’s preliminary report for the third quarter (the whole story with the recall and replacement of devices fell on it), the company received an operating profit of $ 7 billion, which is 5.5% more than in last year, as of September 14 alone, Samsung’s capitalization collapsed by $26 billion. And the story is not over yet...
P.S. The Internet is to blame for everything. They say the Koreans were in such a hurry that they did not have time to thoroughly test the Galaxy Note 7 before launching it on the market. Who knows - perhaps there is some truth in this assumption. And for dessert: the developer of modifications for the games HitmanNiko uses explosives GTA game 5 Samsung smartphones Galaxy Note 7. This cute joke suggests that the flammable “sevens” have already fit very tightly into Internet folklore. And there is a suspicion that they will remain there, but soon they will not be found in the hands of users.
UPDATE: that's it, the patient suffered and passed on to another world. Samsung has officially announced the complete cessation of production of the Galaxy Note 7. This model will no longer be on the market.
