Rendered images of the upcoming Samsung flagship smartphone Galaxy Note 7 show a Coral Blue color variant.
There are just two weeks left until the expected release date of the next-generation Galaxy Note phablet from Samsung, according to company's website. The Note 7, this year's upcoming model, has enjoyed even more interest than usual. This is due to Samsung's decision to skip Galaxy Note 6 branding, as well as to its revolutionary iris scanner technology.
According to Venture Beat, one of the most interesting aspects of the next-generation flagship device from Samsung is the fact that it will be the first handset designed and produced by a major manufacturer that features exclusively a non-traditional form factor. The upcoming Galaxy Note 7 model will come with curved screen and there is no "flat" Note 7.
This move from the South Korean high-tech giant could have major implications for the rest of the mobile industry. Nontraditional handset designs were released before by other manufacturers. But not of, except maybe the curved-edge BlackBerry Priv, had such big ambitions as the Note7 from Samsung.
While other nontraditional handsets were largely niche models, Samsung's Galaxy Note is not a product with which the company can afford to experiment too much. If the next-gen Note 7 comes with curved screen it can only mean that Samsung is confident to sell well its higher-priced flagship model.
For Samsung, differentiating on design is more than just about sharing a bigger pie from the niche market. It is also a critical factor in keeping a high-margin manufacturer from following the bad examples of brands such as BlackBerry and Nokia. According to a Twitter blog post from tech expert Evan Blass, the Samsung bets big on the upcoming Galaxy Note7 and this "may pay off for the entire industry."
In this context, is of no surprise that Galaxy Note 7 will come with lot of changes and upgrades. Samsung will also add more colors to the lineup this year. According to the specialized website wccftech.com, one of these new colors will be Coral Blue. Some images that show renders of the device in this color option have leaked online on Tuesday, July 19.
