The phone is speculated to get the best protective glass casing, Gorilla Glass 5 , which survives 80 percent of drops from shoulder height.

Camera:
Samsung took a detour with Galaxy S7 and equipped the flagship device with a 12 Megapixels snapper down from 16 Megapixels on Galaxy S6. However, the brand claims that the camera module is Dual Pixel unit, which means it takes in double the amount of light and pictures turn out to be par excellence.

Samsung has always introduced some of the ground breaking technologies with either its flagship Galaxy S Lineup or Galaxy Note. This year, Galaxy Note 7 is bringing yet another revolutionary feature after fingerprint scanner. It is being speculated that the device will feature an Iris scanner on the front panel and the leaked images of handset proves it. If this news happens to be true, Galaxy Note 7 would become the most secure handset with both fingerprint and Iris scanner on-board.
