Although speculation and leaks surrounding Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 have run rampant in the last few months, we’re finally getting a more complete picture of the company’s newest flagship.

Official press renders of the phablet have been released, and a new video posted on Weibo allegedly shows the Note 7’s iris scanner in action.

While previous leaks of the phone’s official appearance already exist, the recent renders show the phone in all of its glory, from all different angles.

Those include Black Onyx, Silver Titanium and Blue Coral. But Samsung is also releasing the phone in a gold color that hasn’t shown up in previous leaks, according to GSMArena.

As one can imagine, specs for the phone are also being released all over the internet.

New reports from a Korean publication that the Galaxy Note 7 will be outfitted with Gorilla Glass 5, the newest version of Corning’s strengthened-glass that was just recently announced, PhoneArena reported.

And anticipation for the phone is building. In Dubai, the phone is already going on presale, as signs have popped up in various tech shop windows in the UAE city.

“The Next Galaxy is Arriving,” the signs say.

Residents in Dubai can preorder the phone by placing an initial deposit of $130 (500 AED in local currency) by Aug. 2.

Samsung is expected to officially announce the device on August 7.
