Samsung brought IP68 watertight certified features to its new flagship models- "Galaxy S7" and "Galaxy S7 Edge". According to rumors and various reports, Samsung's upcoming "Galaxy Note 6" may feature the same watertight system and also, an "iris scanner".

The Phonearena reported on Friday that speculating from various rumors and reports, "The Note 6 will apparently sport the same IP68 waterproof certification that the S7 or S7 edge boast, and which recently allowed one of them to stay submerged in water for 16 hours and still keep on ticking."

Also, the media spotted evidence that Samsung is in a testing of its "Iris cam" from the company's import database, which may indicate the next "Phablet" (phone+tablet, a synonym for smartphones larger than 6 inches) will feature iris scanning ability.

The media predicted the Galaxy Note 6 may be released into the market by the end of July. Nothing is sure at the moment, but it is plausible since Samsung may match the release dates with its rival: Apple's iPhone 7 series' release.
