By now it is confirmed (unofficially) that Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Note phablet will be called Galaxy Note7. The information along with specifications was revealed by Evan Blass over the weekend.

Now another leakster from Russia named Eldar Murtazin, has offered additional information of the Galaxy Note7. First up Murtazin has reaffirmed that Galaxy Note7 will launch on August 2. The other information he offered was about the battery life of the phablet.
