Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Iris Scanner In Detail: Not a Gimmick

2016-08-13
Samsung has spent years of infamy as the gimmick King so it makes all the sense in the world for people to consider the Galaxy Note sevens Irish scanner to be one until you test it and learn that it's not I'm Jaime to be better with pocket now here with a detailed look brought to you by deep brand pocket aus galaxy note 7 coverage is made possible by D brand manufacturer of precision cut vinyl skins for smartphones tablets and other gadgets go to D brand.com slash galaxy to pimp out your new galaxy note 7 if you grew up with me watching Minority Report you will know just how long ago the concept of iris scanning has been a dream the idea of interacting with gadgets without touch was pure science fiction up until the Lumia 950 changed that and the galaxy note 7 perfected it to set up iris scanning you can do so when you set up your note 7 for the first time or within the security settings you'll see a prompt for irises which then ask you for your phone's password since the sensor uses near infrared illumination Samsung disclaims that for it to work you have to be either indoors or away from direct sunlight you also need to remove glasses contact lenses and hold the phone from ten to fourteen inches away from you what's most important you can only register one pair of irises so this is pretty much the only security feature that works only for you if you hold the phone away from you as required the detection takes seconds far less than setting up a fingerprint scanner well then you can also set this for a web sign in so long as you're using the Samsung browser for samsung account verification and obviously unlocking your phone the user interface offers cool mask previews for you to align your eyes when unlocking but once you start using it you'll notice that the service is so fast you won't even see it unless your eyes are not aligned you simply turn your phone back from standby swipe from the bottom and your in that's simple so yes speed is definitely one reason why this is not a gimmick but the other is Samsung secure folder this allows you to store things privately in a folder that only you can unlock through your iris or well there are other means but again if you want this to only be accessed by you I'd suggest you use the iris scanner once setup you can add pictures video the standard stuff of other secure folders but to make matters cool you can even have an extra copy of applications within and login with a separate account sure the usage scenario for any of this could sound a little shady but seeing objectively this allows you to protect company accounts from accidental interaction from kids or simply somebody who needs to borrow your phone for a bit overall I have to admit that I'm impressed by what Samsung has come up with here the service pretty much just works but obviously we'll have to report back on our full review to tell you just how useful it turned out to be after constant use folks this video was made possible by deep brand to pimp out your new Galaxy Note 7 simply go to deeper and calm slash galaxy and choose from dozens of combinations available whether it's carbon fiber or leather there are color combinations for every taste in every occasion that's the brand comm slash galaxy for now make sure you follow us on social media and subscribe to our channel for up-to-date coverage on everything galaxy note 7 you can also catch our videos on vessel vessel comm / PocketNow and follow me on twitter and Hein underscore Yvette our and Instagram at high net Iveta please give this video a thumbs up if you like what you saw I am high memory but I thank you very much for watching we'll see you on the next one tomorrow
