Samsung Electronics launched its ambitious new smartphone on Friday -- the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. The tablet comes with a brand-new iris scanner and a much improved S-pen which can interpret user input... and offer direct translations of handwritten text.
Our Kim Jungsoo headed to the malls to check it out. Samsung's release of the Galaxy Note 7 on Friday was met with great enthusiasm, both from the stock market and from the general public.
Throughout the day, Korea's main telecom companies including SK, KT and LG tried to lure consumers with special one-day promotions.
The IFC Mall in Seoul's main financial district of Yeouido also prepared a special exhibition to showcase the latest Android device, drawing hundreds of curious visitors.
One of the most eye-opening features of the device was its new biometric security mechanism -- an iris-scanner.
Once a user registers his or her iris on the phone, the identification process is almost instantaneous. "It only takes a second for the iris scanner to verify the owner's identity, like this " But that's just one of the many features of this state-of-the-art new addition to the Galaxy line.
With the newly upgraded S-pen, users can make even more delicate manuevers, which include magnifying images on the screen and turning still pictures into animations.
The phone can even translate a sentence handwritten with the S-pen into different languages.
The phone is also completely waterproof, which means it can be used in the shower and even brought into the swimming pool.
Onlookers in Yeouido were pleasantly surprised by the new features.
"I'm constantly amazed by how phones are getting better and better by the day. It really seems like Samsung has made this new product very accessible and convenient to use."
The latest corporate data from Samsung Electronics seems to point to continued growth.
First-half sales for the Korean tech-giant came to 100-point-7 trillion won, or about 90 billion US dollars -- 5 percent higher than the same period last year.
Many experts expect the latest release to give the company a much-needed push for the second half of 2016.
