Samsung has finally announced the release of the Galaxy Note 7 for pre-order across Europe - with Vodafone, Three and EE amongst UK retailers stocking the new flagship handset from Wednesday.
The tech giant says consumer interest in the Note 7 has already exceeded that seen with the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, despite not officially hitting the high street until Friday 2 September 2016.
Samsung's reinvented flagship handset boasts a dual-curved 5.7inch display, 12MP Dual Pixel camera, and 64GB of in-built storage.
There's also a new iris scanner, which unlocks the device with your eyes, and a next-generation S Pen stylus which lets you jot down notes on the screen – even when the handset is switched off.
Samsung also says users can use both the smartphone and S Pen underwater for an impressive 30 minutes.
Vice President of IT and Mobile Samsung Electronics UK and Ireland, Conor Pierce said: “Market reaction, combined with extremely positive feedback from our carrier and retail partners, indicates that the Note7 will exceed our original sales forecasts for the region by some distance.
"As such, the number of pre-order units will be limited due to the unprecedented demand, which will enable us to meet as much of this anticipated demand as possible and minimise any potential consumer disappointment when the device goes on general sale next month,” he added.
