Quick Review of Samsung Galaxy Tab Iris
It seems like Samsung made this Tablet only for the purpose of Iris Scanning and Fingerprint Scanning which are the Bio-metric authentication. Most of the Specs are very limited and only up to a level that supports the Bio-Metric authentication process.
The Display is not bad with 600 pixels in a 7 inches screen. The Processor and RAM are only low end specifications. They cannot be good for multitasking and heavy usage.
The Internal Storage is too low with 8GB. It definitely needs external storage to store more data and media in this Tablet. This is not the usual Smartphone type Tablet and hence we are not having front camera here. Only the rear camera available and that too a low level with 5MP.
Battery is promising with 3600mAh capacity. That we can expect to give backup for a day on causal use.
