Samsung Galaxy S7 Pictures Leak, Rumored To Have Iris Scanner

Samsung Galaxy S7 is one of the most anticipated devices expected to be released in Q1 2016 and the device has been in the news a lot lately. The device is going to feature the biggest feature on the iPhone 6s, a pressure sensitive display, and we reported this in a previous article. A new feature has been rumored to come with this device and it’s going to be the first of its kind on a Samsung smartphone.

Recent leaks suggests this device is going to be a lot similar to it’s predecessor and the design isn’t changing that much.

Samsung Galaxy S7 spotted on DHGate

Last week, Samsung Galaxy S7 was spotted on DHGate. The case manufacturer listed Samsung Galaxy S7 case on its store and the rendered image of the device looks pretty much like the leaked images we’ve previously seen.

The image shows a rectangular home button and the fact that this case is listed to work for the previously released Samsung Galaxy S6 proves that the company isn’t straying away from it’s current design.

Samsung Galaxy S7 might feature an iris scanner

According to a report on Android.com.pl, Samsung Galaxy S7 will feature an iris scanner. This means you will be able to unlock the phone with just your eyes.

It should be noted that Samsung Galaxy S7 isn’t the first phone to have this. Fujitsu, a Japanese brand, released  Fujitsu ARROWS NX F-04G earlier this year and it’s the first smartphone in the world to have this technology. Microsoft too later released Lumia 950 with an iris scanner.

Each human eye is different and the iris, just like the fingerprint, has unique patterns. By simply scanning the iris, this technology should unlock the phone and this might be the reason for the hike in price.

It was previously said that the upcoming device may not be as expensive as its predecessor but recent developments shows this device might be sold for as much as $700. The phone is expected to be announced at the Mobile World Congress in February.
