Samsung highlights iris-scanning tech in new Galaxy Note 7
Drag

The Galaxy Note 7 was made official this morning, introducing an iris scanner, curved edges (a la Galaxy S7 Edge) and Corning’s new Gorilla Glass 5. It also comes with water and dust resistance, a bigger battery and a brand-new color called Coral Blue.

One of the Galaxy Note’s defining features, the S Pen, has been updated as well. It’s more sensitive and accurate, water resistant, doesn’t get stuck if you insert it the wrong way, and it can even make GIFs.

All these features come at a premium, however. The full retail price of the Galaxy Note 7 is a staggering $849.99, making it one of the most expensive phones on the market today. That said, retailers and wireless providers across the board have a host of preorder deals which can help temper the price.

Here’s how to reserve yours.

All the major networks and retailers in the US have announced that preorders will begin tomorrow, August 3, and the device will officially launch August 19. Starting tomorrow, you can also place a preorder with Amazon, Best Buy, Car Toys, Sam’s Club, Target and select Walmart stores.

Best Buy is said to be offering either a Gear Fit 2 or 256GB microSD card with a preorder and tells BGR it’s “the only place” where customers will walk out with a free Samsung item with a preorder. It’s likely that other retailers will offer a similar choice in free items, but you will have to wait to receive your that item with the Galaxy Note 7.
