Samsung will unveil its latest smartphone next week at major events across the world.
The Galaxy Note 7 is Samsung's flagship phablet and is likely to feature a giant 5.7-inch curved screen and top quality 12 megapixel camera.
Rumours are also suggesting that the device will feature a futuristic iris scanner which will instantly unlock the device via a quick look at your eyeballs.
Although this is clearly a ground-breaking piece of technology it may not be as good as it sounds.
According to a reader of Android Authority, the iris scanner comes with a huge list of reasons why it might not work.
The disclaimer was found in the settings menu and includes issues with wearing glasses, contact lenses, having puffy eyes and laser surgery.
There could also be problems if you attempt to use the phone in bright or low-light conditions and humidity could also mean the Note 7 won't unlock.
With the phone not launching until August 2nd there's currently know way to confirm just how good the iris scanner is but, luckily, simliar technology found on Microsoft's Surface Book does work well.

Other rumours about the Note 7 include a new S-Pen and the phone will arrive in a range of colours including Black Onyx, Silver Titanium or Blue Coral.
Samsung fans will have probably already twigged that last year's entry into the Note series was the Galaxy Note 5.
The technology firm is skipping over the Note 6 to "minimise confusion about the latest mobile technology from Samsung, and provide full alignment with Galaxy S smartphone."
The jump means that both of Samsung's flagship smartphones will be branded with a 7 – Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy Note 7.
It will also put Samsung on the same track as the Apple iPhone, which is rumoured to be called iPhone 7 when it is released this September.
Daily Star Online will have all of the news from Samsung Unpacked Event on August 2nd so be sure to check out dailystar.co.uk/tech.
