Samsung Galaxy Note 6 Release Date Still Unconfirmed; Features Include IP68 Body And Iris Scan

Samsung is committed to change the game with its gadgets, and fans can expect nothing less with the Samsung Note 6.

According to rumors, the newest phablet be IP68 certified, meaning users of the new smartphone will have to worry less about getting their units wet and getting exposed to dirt and dust.  Apart from its waterproof features, reports are also claiming that the Note 6 will also have an iris scan cam as an added security feature.

"Samsung has imported an 'iris cam' into India for the usual R&D activities," Sam Mobile reported. "Though details are scarce, the part is explicitly labelled 'Samsung Mobile'. Of course, the Galaxy Note 6 is not mentioned anywhere, but as the next flagship to be launched, it is the prime candidate to feature an iris scanner."

"We have received information that confirms the Galaxy Note 6 will be as water resistant as the Galaxy S7. The IP68 certified body should then be able to withstand submersion in one and a half meters of water during half an hour." 

As of writing, release date rumors have been rife online, claiming that a July-August launch could be highly probable.  While phablet users await the list of official features of Note 5's successor, several speculations have already circulated online.

Rumor has it that the Note 6 will even make bigger screens.  At 5.8 inches, the newest phablet will have an AMOLED screen display, but will still retain its predecesor's 2560 x 1440 resolution.  The Note 6's screen is comparatively larger than the Galaxy S7 Edge's 5.5-inch screen.

Meanwhile, the newest device will also have updates on its camera. "Note 6 is expect to arrive with a 12MP DualPixel sensor on the rear with an aperture of f/1.7 with a rumored Timeless Photo/Vivid Photo technology," News Everyday reported. "As for the front camera, it will probably be the same as that of Note 5 with 5MP but with a much better aperture of f/1.7."
