14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 is about one week away from its debut, and leaks continue to surface on a daily basis. The latest regard screenshots of the Grace UX interface, instructions on how to use the iris scanner, and a Zauba listing.
First things first, the screenshots taken with the Galaxy Note 7 have leaked over at Android Authority. The images show the lock screen and security settings menu, which received a new option below Fingerprints called Irises. The new option is clearly connected to the iris scanner on the smartphone and will be used for setting up the system.
The disclaimer lists the limitations of the iris scanner and mentions that it won't work properly for people who wear glasses or contact lenses, and it might struggle in low light conditions. In addition, the smartphone may not recognize the user's eyes if they register their irises in bright conditions and scan them in low-light conditions, or if they scan them after moving from a bright place to a dark place.
A video showing how the iris scanner works leaked a few days ago, and it also came up with part of these instructions. The new batch of screenshots reveals the steps that users must take in order to set up the iris scanner. Users would need to position the device at a distance of 25-30 cm from their face and make sure that their eyes are positioned inside the on-screen circles.

The screenshots also show the S Pen Air Command menu, including new options like Glance, aside from the other familiar ones, such as Screen Write, S Note, Smart Select, and Action Memo. The new Grace UX interface allows users to record sections of the screen and even create GIFs.
The images also show the app drawer on the Note 7, together with sorting options for apps and new icons for some applications, like the clock, messages, the calendar, and more.
A recent Zauba listing has also indicated that the Galaxy Note 7 will be coming with a rear camera of 12MP, according to TechUpdates. The device bearing the code number SM-N930F, which is the Galaxy Note 7, has been shipped to India from South Korea. The listing shows that the camera will come with OIS and auto focus.
