The smartphone giants at a
press event unveiled its latest phablet, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 which is
Samsung’s first smartphone with an iris scanning technology. A dedicated sensor
which is an infrared transmitter and receiver for iris scanning can be found at
the top of the Galaxy Note 7.
The company announced that the phablet will
allow you to make mobile purchases using the iris scanner (isn’t that just
amazing) and also that it’s impossible to trick the device with a photo.
But they also revealed that the iris scanner
will make use of its Samsung Pass feature to securely open certain apps, mostly
those with your financial info. Samsung Pass is a feature which the company
intends to use to replace your usernames and passwords, and for not only
financial apps but other app, documents and folders. The smartphone also
supports the fingerprint authentication method.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has
similar features with the Galaxy S7 Edge, including a 12mp camera at the back,
4GB of RAM, an IP68 rating allowing it waterproof to depths of 1.5m for 30
minutes and 64GB of storage with a microSD card slot for more memory.
Its S-pen stylus is
waterproof, that is you can write on the screen even when wet and also when the
smartphone is asleep without having to wake it up. It is now more sensitive
having a 4,096 pressure sensitivity levels.
It is the first Samsung smartphone to use the
new USB-C connector and it also has fast charging.
The smartphone has a 5.7inch
quad HD curved screen which is a little
bigger than the Galaxy S7 Edge and smaller than the Galaxy Note 5, which for me makes it more easy to hold. It
also uses the Android 6.0.1 marshmallow software which has the ability to turn
videos to gifs and many other features.
The smartphone’s USB-C port
requires a new version of the Gear VR (Virtual reality) headset, which offers
more comfortability and better user experience. The new version of the Gear VR
has an accessory port on the side and revamped controls.
The Galaxy Note 7 comes in
three colours which is black, light metallic blue with gold sides and
silver/gold colours. With all this you can’t just ignore the fact that the
Samsung
Galaxy Note 7 is one of the
best smartphones of 2016.
Don’t forget to comment your
own idea of the smartphone, and please share if you enjoyed the post.
