We've now got our first live glimpse of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on July 11 courtesy of Dutch site Techtestic, with the photo clearly showing a black coloured iteration of the phablet, complete with a cut-out for an Iris Scanner, as well as the distinctive sweeping lines of that curved EDGE display.

In short, the live photo matches up perfectly with the press renders and schematics we've seen leaked previously, pretty much confirming that when the phone launches next month there will probably not be too many surprises Production is expected to have begun this month ahead of the “August 2” launch date.

According to ALL the rumours the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 will be an absolute BEAST with 6GB of RAM, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 processor, a brand new high-end camera and a shed-load of new software tweaks to make the whole S-Pen stylus experience and multitasking on the big screen better than EVER.

On top of that, rumours are now consistently saying the the Galaxy Note 7 will feature a 5.8in QHD Super AMOLED EDGE display with the signature curved screen edges seen on the Galaxy S7 edge.

Unlike the Galaxy S7 series, however, this will be the sole model rather than having two variants.

There's no word yet on how much the Galaxy Note 7 will cost but, if it's anything like its predecessors, prices will start at around £650 SIM-free.
