We have approached the Samsung booth at IFA in Berlin to test the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. A device involved in controversy due to the explosion of several devices that have forced the manufacturer to withdraw the product until the fault is found.
While we wait for Samsung to relaunch its flagship phablet, we leave you with our First impressions on video after testing the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 at the IFA in Berlin.
A premium terminal made of noble materials
As expected, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has a very premium design. In this way, the new member of the Note family stands out for the quality of its finishes. Its aluminum body with a coating Corning Gorilla Glass 5 offers an exquisite touch and a great feeling of durability, as well as a more than correct grip.
The phone is comfortable and manageable in the hand despite its size. The buttons offer a more than correct route demonstrating a high quality in its construction. I especially want to highlight the S Pen of the Galaxy Note 7 that follows the line of the phone offering high-quality finishes.

It was to be expected that the Galaxy Note 7 was a very powerful terminal. Taking a look at all its technical characteristics it is clear that Samsung has implemented the best technology in its flagship phone.
Although at the stand I have not had the opportunity to configure the iris sensor, I want to emphasize that in a small meeting held by Samsung a couple of weeks before, I did have the opportunity to test this biometric sensor and I have to say which works incredibly well even if you wear glasses. Of course, you have to slide up on the screen to be able to unlock with the iris so I personally prefer to continue using the fingerprint reader, which also works really well.
El Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is a really complete terminal, a top of the range that will return to the market stronger than ever after the review that Samsung is carrying out to avoid new problems.
