We try out the Samsung Galaxy Note 7's iris scanner feature. Yes, it's a phone you can unlock with your eyes. Simply hold the phone out in front of you, stare into the scanner, and voilà, it unlocks. That's the theory, anyway.The Galaxy Note 7 is also waterproof, much like the existing Galaxy S7 Edge but, unlike that phone, which is merely protected from water damage, the Note 7 will supposedly function as normal underwater or when wet. No more jumpy screen when you're staring at Google Maps in the rain.
The Note 7 also comes with Samsung’s familiar S Pen stylus. Albeit a slightly redesigned model. It’s said to more sensitive and also has a finer tip to better mimic writing with pen and paper. Extra features will also include the ability to instantly translate foreign words.
The phone sports the new USB Type-C connection, as seen on the LG G5 and HTC 10, which should make for speedier charging. But fear not, there's still a standard 3.5mm audio jack connection (the iPhone 7 is rumoured to be getting rid of that).
Video performance should be worth checking out too, thanks to the addition of HDR video support. Samsung has teamed-up with Amazon to deliver mobile-friendly HDR streaming videos. We look forward to seeing how that looks.
