Samsung just launched its new handset with so many powerful features, including Galaxy Note 7 iris scanner. Do you want to know how it works?

Galaxy Note 7 iris scanner: password replacement

Since iris scanner technology has been assembled into Samsung Galaxy Note 7, the purchasers are asking how does this work? Is it harmful to human pupil? is it fast and as secure as other secure method? Such technology is already used on Lumia 950 series, but Windows phones are less popular thus this feature was not widely discussed. Iris scanner seems to be supported with a long-term plan by Samsung. The company’s president just revealed some of their plans at Unpacked event in New York, which mentioned not only Galaxy Note 7 iris scanner but also another device specifically Galaxy Tab Iris.

People who are wonder how secure the new iris sensor has now do not have to worry anymore. It is because Samsung unveiled that the company invested over three years in its development to give the most secure iris scanning out of all biometric systems. Furthermore, the Korean company are suggesting to banking system for transaction authorization with this new tech. It is such an useful feature! Let’s see how it can make it through!

Galaxy Note 7 iris scanner works fast thanks to IR LED, which accompanies with the selfie snapper. The IR LED allows the scanner to capture your eyeballs. There is also an infrared light that helps the scanner works in low light conditions. The only way to use it is looking at the screen. The phone is supposed to read both of your eyes, but only one is scanned. Then the scanned image is encrypted within security. Galaxy Note 7 iris scanner received the highest International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 62471 certification level, which means it is safe for your eyes.

Galaxy Note 7 iris scanner: is it risky ?

Samsung said that it has taken all necessary precautions since the IR LED will not work in close proximity or long exposure to the eyes. But have they tested whether whether someone else, not the owners’ iris can unlock the phone or not? It is still a newbie here in the tech world, it is time to figure everything out.

Octa-core smartphones are very strong devices. However, quad-core smartphones are also very strong. Many flagships from big brands have this features.

Samsung Note 7: some features that Note 5 does not have

Coming up first is Samsung Note 7 design, the latest Samsung smartphone is outstanding with its new color: Blue Coral, which looks like the color from Alice’s world. Besides that, Galaxy Note 7 design is a perfect combination of it, predecessor – Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S7 Edge, which was launched earlier this year. There are curve sides on the back and the front of Samsung Note 7, which are more sharper and less sloping than S7 Edge. This curved screen may start a new trend in technology world.

Secondly, the updated S Pen should not be neglected. Samsung has been so successful at producing water resistant smartphones since earlier this year. But now Samsung has another big step with its water resistant feature, its S Pen is smaller and resistant to water and dust, even when the Pen is taken out, the phone does not absorb water. Thus, you can use both S Pen and Samsung Note 7 in the swimming pool or under the rain.

Moreover, it has been the most secure smartphone sin Samsung Note 7 can also protect your secret apps, photos, documents by using such technology. Fourthly, Galaxy Note 7 marks Samsung’s first use of USB Type-C charging port for its phones. You will also get a Micro-USB to USB-C adapter out of the box. A new version of Gear VR that works with Type-C and such Micro.

Today one of the most awaited smartphone is launched marking a new trend in the mobile world. It is Samsung Galaxy Note 7, which is believed to be the best selling smartphone in the future.

Samsung best selling smartphone, not just Note 7

According to some reports, Galaxy S7 Edge was Samsung best selling smartphone in the first half of 2016. The S7 Edge is currently the world’s most popular Android smartphone (different from top-selling phone) thanks to its curved display design along with Edge features, which are creative and convenient. Moreover, Galaxy S7 specs also include: 4GB RAM, SND 820, 12MP/5MP cameras. With such Galaxy S7 specs, it is unsurprisingly that Samsung shipped 13.3 million pieces of the Galaxy S7 Edge in H1 2016.

Samsung has gone the extra mile for their customers with Note 7 design as well as its features. Regarding Note 7, Samsung has done a killer job with the proper curves, water resistant stylus, iris scanner and many other features. In terms of Galaxy Note 7 specs, they are much like S7 Edge with 2 models of processor: Snapdragon 820 coupled with Adreno 530 for only USA and Exynos 8890 paired with Mali-T880 MP12 for global market. Along with this is 4GB RAM, 64GB ROM expandable up to 256GB, 12Mp/5MP cameras, 3500 mAh is Galaxy Note 7 battery.

It is not only because of its features or designs, but also thanks to affordability which bring the crown to Korean company, apparently. In fact, smatphones like Galaxy S7 Edge and Note 7 perform better than other expensive makers, even though other products may support higher capacity or resolution, which other manufacturers used to push up the price. For your interest, placed in the second position as the world’s second most popular Android smartphone with 13 million units was another Samsung-branded Galaxy J2. The third position belonged to Galaxy S7 with 11.8 million units during H1 2016. Unlike iPhone sales are declining, the global Android smartphone shipments increased by 5 percent from 552.2 million units in H1 2015.

Samsung best selling phone can be threatened by……..

Huawei, Oppo, and Vivo, they all are fast increasing their dominant products with so many good features in both quality and quantity. Samsung’s global smartphone shipments increased to 77.6 million from 71.9 million in Q2 2015, while Chinese smartphone maker, Oppo dramatically increased its sales from 7.6 million units to 18 million units at the same time. So can Note 7 keep winning the game?

For months, we waited for the Samsung flagship. Today is Samsung Galaxy Note 7 launch date with its strongest specs and dazzling design, which are said to start a new trend in smartphone world.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 launch: new curvy design and S Pen updates

Samsung continues applying curved screen on its smartphones as its signature. Similar to Galaxy S7 Edge, Galaxy Note 7 launch today is also a curved edge version. The difference between two type of curved edges is that Note 7 curves are more narrowly than the S7 Edge. The phone’s sides curve slightly and slope less in order for the users to efficiently operate with the S Pen. Despite tight curves, Galaxy Note 7 still flaunts a 5.7-inch 2K display which is slightly larger than the 5.5-inch of Edge device. Galaxy Note 7 is also the first smartphone in the world which supports Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

Alongside the Galaxy Note 7 is a stylus, just like other Note and Edge members. However, it is a smaller pen tip than the Note 5’s, which is supposed to make it more accurate and precise. It’s also twice as sensitive, with pressure levels is 4,096 higher than 2,048 in the Note 5. The most interesting change is such new stylus is also water and dust resistant just like the phone. So in case you need to send an email or message when you are in a bath tub or a swimming pool, just feel free to do it. You can use it when raindrops plop all over the screen as well.

Those are not all the new thing coming up with Galaxy Note 7 launch today, one more feature: iris scanner. With this kind of security, the disabled now can unlock their phones with just their eyeballs, which is easy and fast. More important, the iris scanner now appears to protect your apps which include your private photos, passport, banking information, not just only the phone. In terms of other Galaxy Note 7 specs, there are 2 models of processor: Snapdragon 820 coupled with Adreno 530 for only USA and Exynos 8890 paired with Mali-T880 MP12 for global market. Along with this is 4GB RAM, 64GB ROM expandable up to 256GB, 12Mp/5MP cameras, 3500 mAh is Galaxy Note 7 battery.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 launch with the best price

Today Galaxy Note 7 launch only in US and UK. In the US, pre-orders for the Coral Blue, Black Onyx, Silver Titanium colors begin on August 3. Galaxy Note 7 price is around $953. As for the global buyers, Galaxy Note 7 release date will be announced soon, it is expected on August 19.

Last month, Qualcomm released SND 821 chipset which is 10% faster than its predecessor. Now, the company is about to launch a Snapdragon 830 chipset with an octa-core processor. It will be much more powerful than ever.

Snapdragon 830 with octa-core processor

Snapdragon 810 is the first chipset with octa cores of Qualcomm. This chipset is really strong. However, it makes many smartphones get into the heating issue. Xperia Z5 from Sony is a typical example. That’s the reason why the company released its SND 820 with quad cores. Despite having quad-core, SND 820 is still very powerful. And now, it seems like the US company decided to come back with octa cores with the newest chipset- Snapdragon 830.

Last month, Qualcomm released the latest chipset – SND 821. It’s the slight stronger version of SND 820. Now, this US firm wants to double the performance of the processor. Snapdragon 830 will come with an octa-core processor with 10nm on board. This new chipset will also support for 8GB RAM and 2K x 4K display and 2K x 4K video recording. This means that multimedia on phones will be so much better along with nice video recording.

So, with all the things that Snapdragon 830 boost the phone, this chipset is all what we’re waiting for. Not only that, Qualcomm seems to find a solution to deal with the overheating problem. So, this time, there will be no flagship smartphone has this problem .

Snapdragon 830: which phone will get it first?

A few months ago, Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was reported to be the first phone to feature this chipset. However, at the launch event today, Note 7 shows up with a SND 820 processor with 4GB of RAM. So, there are still 4 months until the end of 2016. Which one will have this powerful chipset from Qualcomm? Will it be Surface Phone from Microsoft or Galaxy S8 from Samsung? Well, all we can do is wait. Let’s stay tuned with us for more information!

LG is making its big step to invest an amount of money in OLED display, which is expected to replace LCD for smartphones and other devices in the future.

OLED display: new age of flexible devices

Almost all the smart phones today support 2 main types of screen capacity: AMOLED and LCD that I mentioned in one of my articles. According to that, AMOLED is sported inside most of the high-end phones such as Samsung. Meanwhile, LCD is suitable to average and low-end handset. Now LCD’s manufacturer – LG Display Co., one of the world’s biggest makers of display panels used in smartphones and televisions, seems to make a move in the right direction to invest in OLED display.

So what is OLED display? And why is it so hot that everyone seems to be investing in these days? OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) is a flat light emitting technology. When electrical current is applied, a bright light is emitted. Because OLEDs emit light they do not require a backlight, thus they are thinner and more efficient than LCD displays. They can also be made flexible, even rollable and transparent. If you use Apple Watch, you will experience marvellous OLED, which is capable of producing brilliant color and contrast.

Although OLED display is not new, such technology has been used since 2001. Samsung made it wildly available with the introduction of the first Galaxy S in 2010. Years later, most high-end Samsung flagships appears with OLED technology, which allows the screen to bleed to the edge of the handset and to be curved. OLED technology, specifically OLED display is expected to replace liquid crystal displays (LCD) for smartphones as the standard technology in a few years.

OLED display: is it a wise investment?

In a press release, LG just announced that it will be investing 1.99 trillion won (approximately $1.75 billion) in a new 6^th generation flexible OLED display production line in Paju, South Korea. The investment in a new production line will give LG Display, a supplier of mobile phone displays to Apple Inc., the ability to boost production in the second half of 2018 since Apple needs to make a major change or get stuck to liquid crystal display panels for its iPhone screens.
