According to serial leaker Evan Blass, who posted a swathe of high resolution product renders earlier this month, the Galaxy Note 7 will ship in either Black Onyx, Silver Titanium or Blue Coral.

Samsung fans will have probably already twigged that last year's entry into the Note series was the Galaxy Note 5.

The technology firm is skipping over the Note 6 to "minimise confusion about the latest mobile technology from Samsung, and provide full alignment with Galaxy S smartphone."

The jump means that both of Samsung's flagship smartphones will be branded with a 7 – Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy Note 7.

It will also put Samsung on the same track as the Apple iPhone, which is rumoured to be called iPhone 7 when it is released this September.
