Last week, we showed you leaked images that revealed the inclusion of an iris scanner on the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. According to the directions listed on one screenshot, the user's eyes must be focused inside two circles that appear on the screen, 10 to 14 inches away from the display. Today, a video was discovered that apparently shows the iris scanner unlocking the phone.

While the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 will also feature a fingerprint scanner, looking at the video you can see how quickly the iris scanner can unlock the device. Besides the video, we've also embedded some pictures of the Galaxy Note 7 receiving the latest Android security update. You might notice that the phablet is sporting the yet-to-be introduced Grace UX. The latter is expected to debut on the Galaxy Note 7, and we showed you a video of it in use late last month.

One of the photos reveals that 4GB of RAM will be on the phone. Earlier rumors called for the device to come with 6GB of RAM, but subsequent benchmark tests showed only 4GB of the sweet stuff inside the unit. The heavily anticipated Galaxy Note 7 is expected to be unveiled on August 2nd during the next Samsung Unpacked event.  The event will take place in New York City.
