The Samsung Galaxy Note 6 is predicted to be coming this June and is said to have a lot of favorable features. Among the latest rumored features is an IP68 certified chassis, plus it may also contain an Iris camera for an added security feature.

Sammobile exclusively reported that according to their sources familiar with the matter, the rumored Galaxy Note 6 is going to be totally dust-proof as well as fully protected against prolonged effects of moisture or water, also known as IP68 certified. If this proves to be true, Samsung is making all its flagship phones to be protected from the elements of everyday living.

The recently released Galaxy S7 is also dust- and water-proof certified, able to withstand being submerged in 1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes.

The report also cited Dutch website Galaxy Club, which obtained a copy of an important document regarding an Iris cam. It stated that 200 units of an Iris cam arrived in India on April 6 for Samsung's research and development facility stationed in the country. The cargo came from South Korea. However, the report also stated that no Galaxy Note 6 was mentioned anywhere in the information, but it's a likely candidate for the high-tech mobile parts.

Also, if this rumor proves to be true, this will be the first time that a feature was not first spotted on an iPhone.

Other previous rumors involving the anticipated Galaxy Note 6 is a 5.8-inch display screen, a huge amount of RAM, said to be 6GB, 64GB or 128 GB internal storage, 12 MP main camera, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor.

It is also rumored that the latest flagship offering will be carrying the Android N version of Google's operating system, although Hiroshi Lockheimer, vice president of engineering at Google Android, stated that the code will be available for OEMs in summer.

No official word has been mentioned by Samsung with regard to their Galaxy Note 6.
