Qualcomm Tech Plays Key Role in Galaxy Note7

August 3, 2016

The iris scanning functionality on the new Samsung Galaxy Note7 is enabled in part by Qualcomm Haven.

Qualcomm technology is playing a key role in Samsung’s new Galaxy Note7 smartphone, the company has announced.

Qualcomm Tech Plays Key Role in Galaxy Note7 Officially launched on August 2, the Galaxy Note7 sports a number of technologically sophisticated features and a strong emphasis on security, with an iris scanning capability being a prominent example of both. That feature is enabled in part by Qualcomm Haven, which Qualcomm says offers “a secure foundation for eye-based biometric scanning.”

Meanwhile, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 processor enables the device’s 4K video functionality, and the Qualcomm Aqstic audio codec allows the Note7 to offer high-fidelity audio. Additionally, Qualcomm Quick Charge technology facilitates a fast recharge for the device’s battery.

It’s the iris scanning that takes center stage, though. In a statement announcing Qualcomm’s technological support for the Note7, Samsung VP Hyungsuk Kim emphasized that Samsung is “pleased to offer a smartphone that comes with a secure iris scanning feature,” adding, “We worked very closely with Qualcomm Technologies engineers to deliver security for biometrics technologies.”

If the feature proves to be a hit among users, it could lead to many more integrations of Qualcomm’s technology in future devices.
