Samsung to launch 128GB storage option for Galaxy Note 7

Samsung to launch a 128GB of storage variant of the Galaxy Note 7 in China soon.

Although rumoured for a while, Korean Times first broke the news, in an interview with Dongjin Koh , the head of Samsung Electronics' mobile business in which he clarified Samsung future plans to launch a beefed up version of the Galaxy Note 7.

Samsung is reportedly making this move to counter the inevitable launch of Chinese smartphones with higher RAM and Storage options. OnePlus’ recently launched OnePlus 3 or LeEco’s Le Max 2 are prime examples of Chinese smartphones manufacturers who have already adopted this trend.

“We will continue to accept different needs from each marketplace, and respond by releasing localized products by changing memory capacity or color,” Dongjin Koh told Korean Times.Koh told Korean Times.

While earlier reports suggest that China’s exclusive Note 7 will come with 6GB RAM to accompany the 128GB of storage, it has not been confirmed as yet.

The Galaxy Note 7 is also confirmed for an Android 7.0 Nougat update in the coming months.
