Samsung released its Galaxy Note 7 this week, and as a mobile casino player, I couldn’t me more excited about it. The improvements made build upon all the best bits of older Galaxy models, call upon features from other top smartphones and add a whole lot of new stuff we’ve never seen before.

All in all, I think it’s safe to say the new Galaxy Note has instantly become the best phone on which to play at phone casinos. I know this is a pretty bold claim, but let me lay out the evidence and whether you’re an amateur casino player or a mobile slots pro, I think you’ll have to agree there’s something in my argument.

Bigger Everything

Samsung is keen to point out that this is a phone which ‘thinks bigger’ and those claims aren’t unsubstantiated. While size might not be everything, in this case, Samsung have sized up in the most important ways.

Screen

Galaxy phones have always been known for size of their screens, but the Note 7 has beaten all previous models hands down. You might not NEED a 5.7 inch HD screen to be able to play you favourite mobile slots and casino games, but trust me you do. Once you’ve seen quite how much better your games look and how much easier it is to control the fiddly little bet changing buttons, you’ll never be satisfied with a smaller screen ever again.

From our HD Roulette to the fantastic looking Guns N’ Roses slot, there’s few mobile casino games released in the last couple of years that don’t utilise the most cutting edge HD technology, and this new screen is the best way to do the artistry of the developers’ work justice.

Memory

While loads of mobile casinos will let you play through your phone’s browser many still require downloads for you to be able to play them. Seeing as the new Note 7 has 64GB space as standard, with up to 256GB via microSD card, you’ll never have to go through the rigmarole of choosing which app to delete to get a new casino on your phone. Even if you’re not downloading, phones with bigger memory tend to run faster and lag less, offering a seamless mobile slots playing experience.

Battery

It’s a situation all phone casino players have experienced at one time or another – you’re playing on a great new slot, everything’s going great, you’re on a winning streak and you just landed a load of extra spins, but wait, what’s this? Low battery? But you’re on a train without the option to charge. Time and time again, players cite power failure as one of the worst things to ruin a gaming session.

Not only does the Note 7 come with a battery 15% larger than its previous counterparts, it charges wirelessly, faster than any other smartphone on the market – while that won’t prevent power loss mid game entirely, it’ll definitely make those soul crushing moments fewer and further between.

Perfect For Casinos

So your battery is going to last for a whole lot longer, meaning you’re going to be spinning those slots a whole lot longer too! You’re only human, and after a while holding a phone in your hand is going to get uncomfortable. Not with the Note 7.

Not only is it crazy lightweight for a phone its size, the ‘double curve’ design on the sides of the phone mean it’s more comfortable to hold and use than most other phones available. If you think holding a big, HD phone for hours on end while you enjoy great mobile casino entertainment sounds like it’s going to suck, just wait until you’ve given the Note 7 a go.

More Secure

While it’s not something you think of all the time when playing at mobile casinos, security can be just as important as the quality of the games you’re playing. You’re depositing and withdrawing real money at these sites, so it’s important no one has access to your payment details.

Luckily, the new Note 7 has incorporated cutting edge iris recognition technology, which gazes into your eyes to see who is trying to unlock your phone. This is even more secure than the thumbprint recognition introduced in the iPhone 6, so you can spin away with peace of mind.

Best Phone Ever for Mobile Casinos?

What do you think? Does a bigger screen, more memory, longer lasting battery, and a lighter, smoother, more secure handset sound like it’s going to improve your mobile casino experience? I’m sure in a few months’ time another handset will come along which will throw shade over the Note 7’s credentials, but for my money, it’s simply a must have handset for the serious mobile casino gamer.
