hey guys this is Austin the galaxy note 7 was one of the hottest phones of last year exploded onto the scene last year by far the most lit phone of all time after less than a month on sale it was recalled but now it's back the issue with the note 7 originally was that the battery was slightly too large for the actual phone which meant that in some cases the nuke 7 would literally explode in your pocket after recalling the nearly two and a half million phones they have sold Samsung spent most of last year reminding people that not all of their phones are fiery death machines however the note 7 is officially back with this the Galaxy Note fan edition what's interesting is this isn't even called the Galaxy Note 7 anymore it is just the Galaxy Note fan edition now right now it's only on sale in South Korea but with millions of these phones sitting around in a warehouse somewhere I assume that we're probably going to see more of these sooner than later so even though Samsung promises that this will definitely not explode totally for real this time feel like safety is definitely sort of the name of the game so I'm gonna make sure they don't die here we're gonna unbox your Galaxy Note fan edition can pick this dear Alan I don't think this is going to be protective at all I don't think this is a bad idea we're good pretty good it's fine all right all right we're in we have the phone you have the phone it is it's here so I'm just going to be very gentle with this right now ease it out yeah phones out of a box it's interesting to think that the note seven design is nearly a year old at this point don't get me wrong it's still like very nicely put together phone with the glass and metal build you've got the curves on either edges of the display but when you look at compared to something like the Galaxy s8 it really does feel a little bit behind what this means is that while the Galaxy s8 is a physically smaller phone it actually has a very slightly bigger screen than the note 7 now that the dangers past to see what else we get in the unboxing it does come with this case which is actually kind of cool it's a little bit weird that it covers up the screen but as savage Kenny so rightfully points out no really wants to be seen with the Galaxy Note 7 so maybe hiding it is your best option I'm curious whether this is an actually new phone or not so Samsung does have a couple million notes sitting around that I'm sure they're going to do something with at some point but if I had to take a guess I would say this is a brand new phone Nelly is it super clean on the outside but it really wouldn't surprise me if Samsung still had extra parts to build notes just with a couple minor internal changes from the outside this looks pretty much exactly the same the big difference is instead of having a 3500 milliamp hour battery which may or may not explode this guy has a smaller 3200 milliamp hour battery notice very similar to what you're getting with the Galaxy Note 8 now I do have a couple of additional things that are mostly because this is a Korean model phone but you also get the wonderful Bigsby pre-installed I keep going back to how nice the Galaxy s8 feels in comparison to the note don't get me wrong like I said this is an amazing looking phone with glass and metal but when you look at how big the screen is on the galaxy s 8 with the rounded corners and everything it really does make this feel a lot older one thing you're not really giving up with the note are specs so this is going to be the Exynos 88-90 version which is the International note 7 and no is that going to be a fairly powerful processor paired with 4 gigabytes of RAM and 64 gigs of storage but compared with the Galaxy S a it is very very similar in performance this is also walking a very similar 12 megapixel camera to what you'll find on both galaxy s7 as well as the s8 well sure it's a little bit old at this point is still one of the best looking smartphone cameras you can get today the more I think about it the more the note fan Edition just doesn't make a lot of sense to me not only is this a phone that is essentially the exact same as what came out a year ago but with a smaller battery but it does not come cheap in Korea this cost equivalent of six hundred and ten dollars almost the same prices of new Galaxy s8 don't get me wrong the note 7 was a great phone and this sort of solves the whole exploding and not being allowed on planes thing which is cool but at the end of the day I can't see a lot of people wanting to buy one of these in 2017 besides for the novelty so would you guys want to pick up a Galaxy Note fan edition let me know in the comments below and I'll catch you on the next one
