The
just released Galaxy Note 7 has become the first handset from Samsung to
feature iris scanning technology, which could possibly pave the way for the
company to do away with other security methods, such as PIN, pattern, simple
swipe, and even fingerprint, even if that is quite unlikely.With iris scanning
arriving in the Galaxy Note 7, you don’t need to touch the device to verify
your identity and can access the phone by just looking at the screen. For the
uninitiated, iris scanning uses mathematical pattern recognition of images of
the iris – the thin, colored ring of your eye that opens and shuts the pupil to
regulate the amount of light reaching the retina. Just like your fingerprints,
your iris pattern is also uniquely different and cannot be changed or
replicated, making devices with iris scanning technology highly secure.
Now,
in a post on its website, Samsung explains the hardware and technology behind
its iris scanner in the Galaxy Note 7. According to the company, the device
stores your registered iris information as an encrypted code safely in its
hardware using its KNOX security platform. Whenever you want to access content,
such as a protected app, the device first captures your iris pattern for
recognition, extracts and digitizes it, and then proceeds to match it with the
encrypted code to provide access. You can be sure that no one else apart from
you can access your device in case it is stolen or lost because the Note 7
registers the iris information of only one person.
Samsung
has announced Galaxy Note 7 Flagship. Its going to be called Galaxy Note 7
instead of Galaxy Note 6 as we rumoured earlier. This is one of the most
anticipated smartphone of 2016, it will come in four different color and have
dual-curved edge display. The phone also packs an upgraded S Pen that can be
used as translator and can easy great gif images. This time Galaxy Note also
have IP68 water and dust resistance which will certainly improve productivity. The
release date of Note7 is confirmed now, pre-orders for Samsung Galaxy Note 7
has begun from August 3 (for US) and as per details they will deliver them by
August 19. The price for Note 7 will start from $849.99 USD and will varies
20-30 bucks depending on carrier.
As
per the latest data, Samsung Galaxy S7 is one of the biggest flagship phone
till now in terms of sales and now company has big expectations from Galaxy
Note 7 as well. This clearly shows that company has done tremendous job in
recent times. The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are the best smartphone devices with

Which
markets will receive the dual-SIM variant is not clear
Samsung
unveiled its smartphone Galaxy Note 7 on Tuesday and most of the phone's
features turned out to be in line with earlier leaks. At the event, Samsung did
not announce whether the smartphone will have a dual-SIM variant. However, the
global Samsung page - alongside Samsung India, Samsung China, and Samsung
Russia - shows the presence of a hybrid dual-SIM card slot. In the meanwhile,
the Samsung UK and Samsung Italy pages show a single SIM card slot.
As
we can see in the image above, taken from the Samsung India website, the presence
of second SIM card slot is plainly marked for users to utilise instead of the
microSD card. To recall, the Galaxy Note 7 supports microSD cards (up to
256GB). The image seen below on the other hand, taken from the Samsung Italy
site, shows a rather similar card slot, however, with no space or marking for
the second SIM card - indicating such a card slot can only be used for a single
SIM card.
As
of now, there is no word about a dual-SIM variant of Galaxy Note 7 in other
markets, or exactly which markets will get such a variant. The Samsung Galaxy
Note 7 is expected to be launched in India on August 11, however, no pricing
details are available yet. It is also uncertain whether the company will bring
the dual-SIM variant to India.
The
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 sports some impressive features and specifications, such
as the 5.7-inch QHD (1440x2560 pixels) dual-edge Super Amoled display and S Pen
stylus. The smartphone comes with Snapdragon 820 and Exynos 8890 SoC options
for different regions, coupled with 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM. It also sports an iris
scanner feature, which isn't the first time a manufacturer has offered the
feature, but the first time Samsung has on a smartphone.

but the first time Samsung has on a smartphone.
Take
a look at just what the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 offers that's new, making the
smartphone unique both in the company's own lineup as well as the global
smartphone market. Here are the five new features of the Galaxy Note 7 that you
need to know about:
1.
Iris scanner
As
we mentioned, other manufacturers have included this feature before, and even
Samsung had implemented the iris scanner on its Galaxy Tab Iris tablet.
However, this is Samsung's first smartphone to feature an Iris Scanner. The
iris scanner feature lets you unlock the smartphone by looking at it, and
according to the company's claims, it is more secure than a fingerprint scanner
(which is also available on the phone).
2.
Upgraded S Pen
Samsung's
S Pen stylus is synonymous with the Note series but this time around it has
seen a major upgrade. Now the stylus is not only dust and water resistant with
IP68 certification, it also has a finer point with a tip which is 0.7mm smaller
than its predecessor. The pressure sensitivity on S Pen has also been increased
to 4,096 levels from 2,048 on earlier models. In terms of software that goes
along with the stylus, you can now create gif images out of videos with the
help of S Pen and other additions include new Air Command functions for
magnifying and translation.
3.
Samsung Cloud
Samsung
unveiled its cloud service named Samsung Cloud at the Galaxy Note 7's launch
event, and the smartphone is the first to come with access to the service.
Samsung is giving buyers of the phablet users 15GB of free storage to backup
the data on their devices. Apart from backup, the cloud service also allows for
easy transfer of data, apps, settings, and layouts between devices.
4.
Corning Gorilla Glass 5
Samsung
Galaxy Note 7 became the first smartphone to feature Corning Gorilla Glass 5
protection, which was unveiled last month and is said to be the strongest glass
the popular glassmaker has made yet. The company has even claimed that the
Corning Gorilla Glass 5 in its internal lab tests survived up to 80 percent of
the time when dropped face-down from a height of up to 1.6 metres.
5.
HDR streaming
Samsung's
latest entry to the Galaxy Note series is also the first smartphone to support
content streaming in High Dynamic Range or HDR. The South Korean smartphone
manufacturer has partnered with Amazon to provide HDR streaming on Samsung
Galaxy Note 7. In order to make this possible, the company took its expertise
in TV manufacturing and adapted the technology to its mobile phone chipset.
Along with
iris scanning technology, the Galaxy Note 7 offers a separate Secure Folder for
storing private apps and files that can be accessed using your fingerprint,
iris scanner, pattern, or PIN. You can use the Secure Folder to keep your
private and personal information, like your banking details, completely
separate on the device, as well as block access to specific games or content for
children. If this sounds familiar to you, that’s because it is similar to
Samsung’s KNOX security platform found on its other devices that allows you to
manage two different profiles for work and normal usage.
So, these are official specifications
of upcoming Galaxy Note 6 / Note 7. From these specifications, it looks like
the most superior mobile phone at the time. The Galaxy Note 7 is the sole
version that has been launched, however its comes with outstanding design with
having dual Edge curved display. The phone has easy to handle (with single
hand) and lighter in weight.
