Leak reveals Samsung Galaxy Note 7 in all of its glory
Another day, another leak. Will there even be any surprises left for Samsung when it comes time to unveil the Galaxy Note 7?
We sure hope so because phone leaker Evan Blass, better known as @evleaks, is back at it again with what appear to be images of Samsung's unannounced Galaxy Note 7. This time, the leaked images reveal the entire phone's front and back, leaving pretty much nothing left to the imagination.
The official-looking renders corroborate many of the previous rumors and reports, several from Blass himself, who has a remarkable history of accurately leaking unannounced devices. Namely, Samsung will indeed skip the Note 6 branding and jump straight to the Note 7 to keep consistency with the S7 and S7 Edge.
