                  Lumia 950 don't have IRIS tech they use face detection tech.

                    AnonD-546603, 09 Jun 2016just believe me that people who works on batteries globally... moreWhat does security development have to do with battery capacity?!! Most consumers would pick big battery over additional security addons because that's what matters now as this advanced security features is not needed all that much compared to battery life.

                        Great addition to Galaxy hardware, but let's not forget that Lumia 950, which is available since Oct/Nov last year, is already using this technology (Windows Hello). If you think that this is an innovation by Samsung, think again.

                          Samsung have more advanced technology than Apple's.

                            I am still using my GN2 and the battery is still running well. I am not too concern about non-removable battery. I would like GN2 to add digital radio (DAB+) though. That would be great as I like to listen to many talkback radio programs. FM won't do for me.

                              As always, let's hope that it will be a true whole collection of the latest and best specs of 2016! So much better than the S7 Edge, definitely not because the S7/Edge is not good, far from it, but just to keep improving even much more

                                Prefer to have FM Radio activated on Note7

                                  samsung have always been putting new tech and their best stuff to note line. just like when they first introduced their edge screen with note 4 edge, this time it's the iris scanner.

One doesn't have to take off gloves to unlock for example. I use it on my Lumia 950XL, and the recognition is really quick. The downside, on the other hand, is if you try to unlock it when running, it won't lock on your face if you move too much.
