Korean Tech giant, Samsung, is preparing to launch their next Flagship smart phone on the 2nd of August, 2016, and there have been certain rumors about the new Galaxy Note 7.
The latest rumor comes in a leaked YouTube video of the Note 7 featuring an iris scanner, where by a smartphone user can use their eye to unlock the smartphone. Coming as an additional security feature, the scanner on the Galaxy Note 7 scans your eye to unlock the phone.
Watch video...
If the above video is any indication, then the Galaxy Note 7’s iris scanner will unlock your phone at blazing fast speeds. You might have to watch the video a couple of times (or more) to actually see the iris scanner in action because it works really well to recognize the person’s eyes.
This is the first time an iris scanner will be embedded in a mass produced smartphon
The video also shows that the lock screen will be split into two halves: the upper half will have the
iris scanner, and the bottom will have the pattern/pin unlock mechanism, which is a standard feature
available for all Android smartphones. It would also be safe to assume that the Galaxy Note 7 could come with a fingerprint scanner embedded in its home button, just like the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge.
Last year, Samsung had launched the Galaxy Note 5 and interestingly, instead of following convention and launching a Galaxy Note 6, the Korean tech giant has decided to launch a Galaxy Note 7 this year instead. The reason behind this decision is that Samsung wants to “unify” all its flagship products, which includes the Samsung Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge, and bring them under one naming scheme.
The Galaxy Note 7 is also expected to come with the IP68 water resistant feature, which is also present on the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge. This means that the phone can be submerged underwater for up to 30 minutes.
