Samsung Galaxy Note 7 The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is one heck of a great phone, and it's also an extremely expensive one. There's good CPU performance, a really lovely full HD display and solid cameras too. The Android 6.0 Marshmallow smartphone flirts with high end design and features at a relatively modest $399 price tag for the 32 gig model. It's a stunning looking phone clad in 2D glass and metal, and it's very pocketable at 5.2".

The iPhone 7 Plus gets two 12MP rear cameras, one with standard wide view and one telephoto.

Inside there's the class-leading Apple A10 Fusion quad core CPU, more storage, improved front and rear cameras, IP67 water resistance. On the outside we have new antenna lines, a solid state home button and two new colors: black and jet black. IPhone 7 & iPhone 7 Plus The changes for Apple's flagship 4.7" and 5.5" smartphones are mostly inside this year. It has an 8MP front camera and a 12.3MP rear camera with f/2.0 lens and 4K video recording.

This time, Google is going with flagship pricing and high end specs. The Pixel line replaces the Nexus line of Android smartphones that come direct from Google with the latest Android build and no carrier or manufacturer bloatware.
