Yes, you heard that right. Samsung wants to fit the galaxy s7 with a retina scanner which will provide unmatched security that even evaded the fingerprint scanners such as the touch id. the retina scanner is type of camera that can scan at the retina of your eye and allow access to the devices or a service.
Similar to the touch id, the retina scanner can unlock your phone for you or authenticate a digital transaction such as a purchase made through Samsung pay. We have seen certain tech enthusiast bypass the touch id fingerprint just a couple of weeks after it was available. the retina scanner as of now doesn’t have any methods that can bypass its system making it suitable for hiding sensitive information that business people and military officials deal with.
In other news, we already knew that Samsung is making use of the synaptic technology that is similar to the 3d touch on the iPhone. We can now all but confirm that the galaxy s7 will certainly have a pressure sensitive display that adds a new dimension of interaction with the phone.
Take for example, you touch an icon and the app launches. But apply a little pressure on the screen and various options pop up like status update, upload a photo and take a photo options for the Facebook app.
There is also a high speed Usb type c charging port on the phone. It allegedly charges the phone in 30 minutes so that it can stay alive the whole day. Samsung is famous for making its phone charge in record time and it is planning to further decrease the charging times as the phones become thinner making less amount of room for the battery as we progress. At least we can charge the phone quickly even if the battery capacity has decreased compared to the previous generation of phones.
Retina scanner, pressure sensitive display and fast charging ports are some of the new age features that you can expect from the galaxy s7.
