First Samsung Galaxy Note 7 ad hints at water resistance
Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 won't be officially unveiled until August 2, but that didn't stop Samsung Korea from releasing the first ad for the device.
The ad never really shows what the phone looks like, but it does hint at several new features, including water resistance, which would make the Note 7 the first waterproof phone from Samsung's Note series.
Other features of note that are (sort of) shown in the video include front-facing flash and fingerprint unlock (which was present in Note 5). If we really let our imaginations go, the series of complex finger unlocking patterns can be interpreted as a hint toward that iris scanner we've been hearing about.
