      sa11oum, 15 Jun 2016Whatever they think of, they just put it in their phones wi... moreLMAO, really???? so apple only puts in features that makes sense do they??

      so that means, a bigger battery doesn't make sense?? An SD slot doesn't make sense?? Then i guess waterproofing, wireless and fast charging, notification led, camera quick launch, higher base storage then 16gb, multi window, sos message, gallery private mode, ultra power saving mode, otg etc dont make sense either :D :P

      FYI, these are the things i was able to remember in a minute or less based on my experience with the S7 and 6s....

          zak, 15 Jun 2016What is iris scannerTo put it in few words, iris is the round center for the eye which has a color (like brown, blue, green etc)...

            Whatever they think of, they just put it in their phones without even thinking about it for a minute. Iris scanner???? This is the difference between Apple and Samsung, really. Apple will only put things you will use in a phone, things that make sense. Who needs to unlock their phone with their eye? It's gonna be a hassle to hold up the phone and scan your eye. What's wrong with your fingerprint? Seriously......

                But I'm sure when Apple implements it you'll say it's an innovation. Typical Apple sheep thinking.

                        mir, 15 Jun 2016The magical iphone 7 will smash this weak phablet. Samsung ... moreMore like iPhone 10 tp be released in 2020 which will finally have a QHD display and 4GB of RAM. Lol

                          Muse, 15 Jun 2016Am i the only one who thinks that fingerprint scanner would... moreI use the lumia 950XL. It has a section to optimize the iris scan. I did optimization from many angles and many lighting scenarios. Mine unlocks in a second and I don't have to look directly at it or hold it that close. It was rough at first but software/firmware updates have made it much better. My guess is that Samsung will improve the tech even more. If you can get a wide angle lens and good IR system in place it can probably do an even better job. The front facing camera on the lumia 950xl is not in a good place nor is it a high quality one. Plus the screen smears easily.

                          It's definitely the way to go for security. The speed is dictated with how fast the IR activates really. Once it's activated you are in. Samsung will likely do a better job than MS. And the more tech that uses it the cheaper and better it will become. I hope to see more of that in the future.

                          People are always in aww when I am in line at a store and i whip it out and it says "hello Krystian" and gets me right in.

                          My friend who is an iphone 6s lover says she would love that on an apple phone. I was showing her my lock screen and I guess it was scanning her eye at the time and I turned it towards me and it logged in and she found that so cool hehe.

                            Muse, 15 Jun 2016Am i the only one who thinks that fingerprint scanner would... moreDepends on how fast it works.

                              iris scanner may be more intuitive than fingerprint reader, 3 questions
                              what about facial recognition instead? a dual front cam can do the job wonderfully
                              what about recognition at night? will it have an ir blaster to visualize the eye? is that safe?
                              multiple wrong entries lock out the nadroid..so how good will this sensor algorithm be? will it work at viewing distance?

                                As usual, samsung is the worst brand when it comes with all sorts of lousy gimmicks.
                                Failed phone of the year.

                                      Am i the only one who thinks that fingerprint scanner would unlock phone faster than an iris scanner? Besides it wont looks weird unlocking phone using fingerprint than iris scanner at public
