Looks like a bad news for those waiting with bated breath for Samsung's next flagship as buying the Galaxy Note 7 might burn a hole in their pockets, if rumors doing rounds proved to be true.

Rumor mills have swirled a slew of speculations around the Galaxy Note 7 hinting that the purported smartphone will boast a dual-edge display and that Samsung may leave out a flat version.

An Edge screen indicates a higher price tag, and if the rumors doing rounds are anything to go by, the Galaxy Note 7 could be the most expensive flagship from the South Korean tech firm till date. Reliable sources tell SamMobile the Galaxy Note 7 could hit the shelves with a starting price of €849 in Europe, basically, €50 more than the Galaxy S7 edge.

The price isn't really surprising as the Galaxy Note lineup has always called for a higher price tag as compared to the Galaxy S series, and taking into consideration that Samsung is slated to debut just a curved variant for the Galaxy Note 7, the pricing seems quite normal. Regrettably, this does mean several Galaxy fanatics who have been waiting with bated breath for the Note 7 could be put back from buying it, or could be compelled to wait until the price come down.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Leaks

Amidst rumors hinting the imminent Galaxy Note 7 could possibly be the most expensive product in the productivity-purposed phablet line till date, another leak have got Galaxy fans going berserk.

Three images have surfaced online via Steve Hemmerstoffer of NowherEelseFr who has tweeted three different images of the looming Galaxy Note 7.

The recently-surfaced images are in fact the first off 'live image' of the purported smartphone (although it is not turned on), GSMArena reported.

One of three leaked pictures confirms earlier leaks of the front panel of the Galaxy Note 7, which divulged an unconventional lineup of sensors and cameras on the top of Samsung's upcoming flagship.

As far as the other two leaked images are concerned - based on a reply in the aforementioned tweet - have a screen protector on the smartphone in what looks like an attempt to conceal the Samsung logo from a leak of the press renders.

The photographic trio of leaks that surfaced Monday, July 11 further cements the speculations hinting the Note 7 will be launched packed with an Edge configuration. There are no evidences that either suggest there will only be a single screen variant nor confirm if Samsung plans to release a standard "flat panel" offering for those smartphone users who are not really big fans of the extra curves.

As the rumored debut date of August 2 closes in, rumor mills are expected to swirl an array of speculations around the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, and these might be accompanied by additional leaks as well. These rumors will not cease until Samsung officially announces the device and puts all the pieces together.
