As you can see in the pictures below, a Galaxy Note 7 user has to place the device at an arm's length (25-35 cm away) from their face with the screen facing towards them. Also, the user needs to position their eyes in such a way that they are pointing directly towards two circles shown on the display while iris recognition process is underway.
We currently have no information on whether Samsung's iris recognition will work as widely as Google's Nexus Imprint system with third-party apps and for Google Play Store purchase authentication. Do you think it's an intuitive way to authenticate a user?
Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Note 7 on August 2. The device is expected to feature a 5.7-inch QHD curved Super AMOLED display, a 12-megapixel primary camera, a 5-megapixel secondary camera, the latest Exynos or Snapdragon processor, 6GB RAM, 64GB internal storage, a microSD + UFS hybrid memory card slot, IP68 certification, and a 3600mAh battery
