The Note 4 had Samsung's awful Swipe-based fingerprint reader that didn't work very well. They've since perfected it and the Note 7 should have one of the best fingerprint scanners on the market. On par with, or better than the iPhone. Just tap, unlock. Samsung's also adding an Iris Eye Scanner, near the improved front camera, that should be faster and more secure than a fingerprint sensor.

All of this means the Note 7 will be better than just about every phone Samsung has ever released, as expected, and check nearly every box on the spec sheet for potential buyers.
