    The reason why I wanted the Note 7 was for one of the reasons was because of the iris scanner for security. Now are you guys going to put that in the new NOTE phones or am I just going to stick with the Note 4 for the rest of my life. & Bring back battery access because if y'all would had have this the Note 7 y'all probably would not have had to do a recall. Stop trying to be like APPLE & be The Best Korean company

                                    After a new app. has implented.
                                    Than it becomes natural,right.
                                    With a thump identification before
                                    loggin in. It makes it impossible for
                                    nononers to log in.
                                    Just a simple advise for the white charching pluck. Please make it more vissible. In which way to plug it into the phone socket.
                                    Thanks for the good phones you producing

                                        maybe syn-pathetic are first to release but other companies announced this idea first and some time ago.
                                        hardware button is a biggest misunderstanding on touch screen phones but i guess samsung was looking for way of being worst in this category across all big makes.
                                        hey ho...what else will be gossiped but not actual ;)
