Samsung could be using a triple camera technology for the Galaxy Note 7 which would power the rumored Samsung Iris and Samsung Eyeprint technology for the new phablet.
Several rumors and reports have already claimed that the Galaxy Note 7 will feature an Iris scanner that would be faster and more secure than the standard fingerprint sensor on the current Android smartphones today. Samsung has not yet confirmed any of this but they are expected to reveal the official specs of the phone soon at their upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event in August as the leaked invites have shown.
A new patent application of the triple lens camera setup from Samsung now shows how the Samsung Iris scanner could work with the upcoming Galaxy Note 7, ValueWalk has learned. Together with the trademarks registered, the new patent application for the camera setup brings it all together.
Users would be able to unlock their phones with just one look instead of having to tap a password or pattern which can be seen by any onlooker. It would also be faster than a fingerprint reading as the user will just have to look the third camera which is the Iris scanner.
Reliable leaker Evan Blass has also posted several images on Twitter that show the alleged press renders of the new Galaxy Note 7 from Samsung, CNET reported. The photos show three different colors of the new phablet.
The colors are Silver Titanium, Black Onyx and Blue Coral. Blass shows both the front and back of the device, which carries the Samsung and Galaxy Note 7 logo.
When somebody commented asking where is the Iris scanner, Blass replied that it is common for some sensors to be hidden on press renders. In addition, he said that nobody was wrong about the patent and these new press render images of the Galaxy Note 7.
As the unveiling of the Galaxy Note 7 nears, there could be more leaks that will surface to complete its specs and features. Of course, not all of them could be considered true but those from reliable leakers who have a good track record from the past would most likely carry more weight.
