Galaxy Note7 with 6GB RAM, 128GB storage officially confirmed
Samsung Mobile President Koh
Dong-jin was asked about the rumored Galaxy Note7 with
upgraded memory - 6GB
RAM and 128GB storage - and he shed light on the matter.
The tricked out version is
initially targeting China, where Koh says local makers are offering stiff
competition with phones with high-capacity storage out of the box.
“We will accept diverse opinions
from various regions and also consider whether that move will disappoint Korean
consumers,” he added.
By the sound of it, Samsung is
talking to carriers to gauge if there's demand for a 6GB/128GB version of the
Galaxy Note7. After all, demand for the current version is "outstanding".
So much so, in fact, that Samsung
is having issues cranking out enough units. It already postponed the launch in
Malaysia, but delays are expanding.
The retail launch of the Note7 in
Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxemburg) is being pushed back by a week,
from September 2 to the 9. Unfortunately, the delay isn't to bring in the 128GB
model, there just aren't enough 64GB units to go around. North America is
rolling ahead with the August 19 launch.
