The Note 7 will be the first in the series to have IP68-grade waterproofing and dustproofing. Unlike the S7, which is also resistant to water and dust, users can control the Note 7 in wet conditions such as in the rain using its S-Pen stylus, developed in house at Samsung Electronics. The stylus tip became slimmer from 1.6mm to 0.7mm compared to the Note 5 and the pen itself is twice as sensitive to pressure as its predecessor.

“Galaxy Note 7 will reconfirm our unrivaled position in the ‘phablet’ market, providing consumers with more innovative usability,” said Koh Dong-jin, president of Mobile Communications Business at Samsung Electronics. Phablet is a combination of “phone” and “tablet” and refers to smartphones with a front screen larger than 5 inches.”Alongside the Note 7, we will establish an ecosystem consisting of diverse wearable devices and services, aiming at offering a richer mobile experience.”

The new smartphone is the first of the company’s handsets to have iris recognition. The biometric security function, which is designed to be compatible with the company’s mobile security technology Samsung Knox, is expected to provide top-notch security for mobile devices.

Note 7 has what the company calls the Samsung Pass function that allows users to easily login or authenticate themselves for mobile commerce services using iris recognition. This function will help users verify themselves more easily when using Galaxy smartphones’ mobile payment service Samsung Pay, the company said. “We are in discussion with Korea’s Shinhan Bank, Woori Bank, KEB Hana Bank and major financial institutions in the United States to provide mobile banking services by tapping into Samsung Pass,” the company said.
