The Galaxy Note 7 leak fest is starting to approach HTC levels, but we won’t complain. Not only has a swathe of new renders appeared, but we now have a full specs list and our first glimpse of the new Gear VR from Steve Hemmerstoffer (aka @OnLeaks).

First up, the Galaxy Note 7 specs include a 5.7-inch QHD Super AMOLED display, an octa-core chipset clocked at 2.3 GHz (which many are claiming is the Exynos 8890 used in the Galaxy S7), 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB ROM with microSD expansion, 12 MP f/1.7 camera with OIS and 4K video, 5 MP front-facing camera, 3,500 mAh battery, USB Type-C and of course that iris scanner. The device measures 153.5mm x 73.9mm x 7.9 mm and weighs 168 grams.

If these specs are sounding a little familiar, that’s because they’re basically a Galaxy S7 Edge with a slightly larger screen (and a smaller battery). We know Samsung wants to reduce the perceptual problem of the Note series having a larger number than the S series, but duplicating a six-month-old specs sheet (if the leak is accurate) to have the two match up is not going to make many people happy. Hemmerstoffer also notes the Note 7 price will be around €850 in France.

What might make people happy is the new Gear VR – which, as you probably guessed, looks just like its predecessor. Kind of like the Note 7. But this time it’s black. And comes with a USB Type-C connection. Its dimensions are 207mm wide by 122mm high and 98.5mm deep, compared to the current version which measures 198mm x 116mm x 90mm. The new Gear VR-C reportedly weighs 300 grams.

The new version also ups the viewing angle to 110 degrees from the 96 degree field-of-view in the current version. Apparently, the new Gear VR will also be compatible with the whole S6 and S7 family, presumably through a simple adapter for microUSB-equipped devices, which we can only hope Samsung includes in the box so we don’t have to go out and buy one.

Do you think the Note 7 will be a winner? Should the Gear VR be bundled for free?

Woman clawed by zoo jaguar while trying to take selfie, learns valuable lesson

Slate A woman’s trip to the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium, and Safari Park in Arizona was cut short when she was clawed by a captive jaguar (via CBS News ). The woman had climbed over a concrete barrier to get closer to the animal to snap a selfie with her smartphone. The woman was admitted to the hospital with her arm in “pretty bad shape,” according to medical responders. However, she was released shortly after with a series of stitches. According to witnesses on the scene — one of which captured a video of the woman writhing in pain after the jaguar clawed at her arm — the incident began when the unidentified woman climbed over a federally-regulated concrete wall that helps to keep a safe distance between the animal cage and the spectators. Once over the wall, the woman turned her back to the cage to snap the selfie. At some point shortly thereafter, the jaguar reached its two front paws outside the cage and grabbed the woman’s arm. The woman then tried to wrench it out of the
