Samsung’s latest flagship is the stylus-toting Galaxy Note 7. Sporting a 5.7” 2K Super AMOLED screen with dual curved edges, 4GB RAM, 64GB  ROM,  12MP f/1.7 rear  camera, 5MP front camera, a 4096 pressure sensitive S-Pen, iris scanner, fingerprint scanner, and an IP68 certification; the Note 7 does has a lot to offer. But at a price. A price of 6000 Yuan ($900)!!!

Another phone which will probably be having such a high price tag is Apple’s new phone, the iPhone 7. Although it has not been released yet, we already have a fair knowledge of what to expects following months of leaks.

The iPhone 7 (Plus) is said to come with a 5.5” 3D-touch screen, dual 12 MP cameras on the back, a 5MP front facing camera, a fingerprint scanner, and doesn’t come with a 3.5mm jack. It will also be ditching the 16GB storage option.

Its just a couple of weeks to the “7 Unpacked” event holding on August 2 in New York, yet more leaks have continued to trail the Galaxy Note7 which Samsung is expected to unveil on that day. The latest leak is a short hands-on video which shows a Galaxy Note7 in operation.

The video (located under this post), comes from the stable of accessory maker Olixer and is actually an exhibition of the testing of a working Galaxy Note7 with three different screen protectors. Even though the video was meant to showcase the accessories, it offers us an opportunity to sample the flagship smartphone giving us a peek at the bezel-less edges and curved edge display the phone sport.

Also, a photo render (pictured above) of the Coral blue color variant the Samsung Galaxy Note7 is said to feature was leaked online by famous leakster Evan Blass @evleaks on Twitter. The image shows the Note7 in all its glory and beautiful color. The press render also reveals the dual curved edges, USB Type-C port, the S-Pen already ejected from its slot, part of the camera sensor which would be used for the iris scanner, a peach-gold type frame, the embedded fingerprint sensor and on the display is the same S-Pen themed background that had featured in lots of recent leaked images.

The Galaxy Note7 brings many innovations like being the first phablet to introduce a dual curved edge display, first to run on Samsung latest TouchWiz Grace UX operating system, and sport an iris scanner. Samsung also skipped the number 6 which is supposed to be the next after the Galaxy Note 5, in order to correct the confusing name anomaly between the Galaxy S series and Note series.

A lot has already been shared online about the Galaxy Note 7, right from the processor, memory, display and the fact that the Note 7 will feature an Iris scanner. However, we were really unaware about how will this new Iris scanner technology work? Thanks to the latest leaks, we know how exactly it will unlock the device.

The leaked images of a working prototype show that the Galaxy Note 7 will use infra-red scanning method for the iris scanner to unlock the device. The biggest advantage of this technology is that it can unlock the device even at night or other extremely low light situations. Leaks also suggested that Samsung’s iris recognition technology can emulate the conventional fingerprint unlock in terms of speed.

What we already know about the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 which is launching on August 2nd is that it will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor,  5.7 inches/ 6-inch 2K super AMOLED double curved screen and  6GB  RAM with 64 GB internal storage.

On the imaging front, the Galaxy Note 7 is expected to feature a 5MP front camera, and a 12MP rear camera. It should be dustproof and waterproof with IP68 level certification as well.

A big question is that, would you buy such a powerful device if it will be priced around (rumored) CNY 6300/USD 950 ? To be honest, a lot of Samsung fans will surely do.
