Galaxy S7 Could Feature Retina Scanner

December 14, 2015

Galaxy S7 Could Feature Retina Scanner Samsung is preparing to launch its next flagship smartphone in March and it’s going to feature a pressure-sensitive touchscreen and a high-speed charger, according to new reports.

The device is expected to be the next in Samsung’s Galaxy line – the Galaxy S7. Like the Galaxy S6, it’s going to launch along with a second model sporting a curved screen, and it will maintain many of the same features of those previous devices as well as the same general design. But the addition of a USB Type-C charging port, which could offer a full day’s charge in less then half an hour, will represent a significant step forward in battery management for the company; and its pressure-sensitive screen could help it to keep pace with the latest iPhone and its 3D Touch system.

Another important potential new feature of the forthcoming device is a rumored retina scanner. While it certainly isn’t a sure thing for the Galaxy S7, if a retina scanner is incorporated into the device it will enable truly multimodal biometric authentication, adding a whole other layer of security for applications such as Samsung Pay, and it could help the device to compete with security-conscious new offerings such as Microsoft’s Lumia 950, which features iris-scanning capabilities.
