A report by Netherlands-based website GalaxyClub says, Samsung has also filed for trademark protection of the terms Samsung Iris and Samsung Eyeprint with the European Union Intellectual Property Office. The report has leaked PDFs confirming the trademark filing.

Another report in Korean Herald claimed Korean camera module-maker Patron will be supplying its iris camera for Galaxy Note 7.

Other reported specifications of the Note 7 include a bigger 4000 mAh battery, 5.8-inch 2K display, 12 megapixel camera seen in the new Galaxy S7 and S7 edge series, along with 6GB RAM.

With the Galaxy Note 5 one of the criticisms was the battery size was reduced from 3220 mAh in the Galaxy Note 4 to 3000 mAh. Samsung might be planning to fix that in the new Note 7.

We’ll have to wait and see which rumours come true with the Galaxy Note 7.
