It’s official. Samsung’s newest flagship phablet has been unveiled today in New York. The phone is essentially a curved Galaxy S7 Edge with a stylus and a couple of other notable differences, including the highly touted fact that it’s waterproof.

While Consumer Reports found reason to question that guarantee when it dunk tested a few phones and discovered flaws in the waterproofing, Samsung has attributed the flaws to manufacturing errors and has promised to replace any defective phones.

According to CNET, the Galaxy Note 7 features a wraparound screen, 12 megapixel camera, extended storage and battery life. The phablet is also the first phone to adopt the USB-C charger port in addition to coming equipped with an iris scanner, an upgraded stylus, a Gorilla Glass 5 screen, and an improved low-light camera.

Despite its high sticker price, the Galaxy Note 7 is rumored to be bundled with a USB-C compatible Gear VR headset or a 256 GB microSD, BGR reports. In conjunction with the 64GB onboard memory, the extra 256 GB could bring you a total of 320 GB of storage.

While there was some question as to whether the latest Samsung phones would feature Samsung’s proprietary UFS storage cards, it appears according to famed leaker Evan Blass, that the Note 7 has gone with the microSD form factor. Other specs that Blass has confirmed include the 5.7-inch QHC SAMOLED screen and black, silver, and coral blue color options.
