The Note 7 also adds iris scanning to its list of security features, which already includes a fingerprint scanner and Samsung Knox functionality.

Samsung also unveiled a new Gear VR headset for the device.

Samsung did this as it changed the connector on the Note 7 – it uses a USB Type-C port instead of micro USB. Previous Gear VR headsets are equipped with a micro USB plug.

Samsung said the Galaxy Note 7 will be available from 19 August, and will be offered in Blue, Gold, Silver, and Black.
