It’s understandable why Samsung doesn’t want people to be talking about the Galaxy Note 7. It was supposed to be the device that would re-establish Samsung’s superiority over its competitors after a lukewarm response to the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge earlier that year, but unfortunately for the South Korean company, that was not to be.
The Note series has since become one of the best-known smartphone ranges and in recent times, has managed to transcend its niche and has crossed over into the smartphone mainstream with the increase in multimedia consumption on hand-held devices.
The fact that most smartphones these days come with screen-sizes of 6-inches and above, and the fact that even Apple has had to incorporate larger screen sizes in its iPhones after having steadfastly refused to go with larger displays previously, is a testament to how Samsung’s Note series has been able to shape the evolution of the smartphone industry over the past seven years.
