A few days ago, quite unexpectedly announced Fujitsu Arrows NX F-04G, which became one of the first smartphones with the iris scanner. And in addition to this manufacturer are working on similar gadgets and some other companies. And now we are not talking about Chinese innovators but of major companies such as Samsung and LG.
What to say rumors about iris scanners on the phone?
The latest rumors from South Korea say that the iris scanner will appear in the next generation flagship smartphone Samsung and LG. However, we have reacted to these rumors with great caution. It is exactly the same information appears before the release of Samsung Galaxy S5 and LG G3. But in the end the technology has not been implemented even in the successors of these smartphones.
However, one and a half years ago, fingerprint scanners really seemed something futuristic and appropriate technologies are in their infancy. That changed this year when the iris scanners were smartphones Vivo X5 Pro and Fujitsu Arrows NX F-04G, and Korean companies are unlikely to want to keep up with competitors and miss the opportunity to give their flagships such an interesting feature.
The question is, how good the iris scanners in its current state. After all, the same fingerprint sensor took a few years to turn into a finished product suitable for mass use. But even now, fingerprint scanners can not be called a very reliable system to identify users.
Conclusion of iris scanners on the phone
There is speculation that the original iris scanners debut not in the international versions of Samsung Galaxy S7 and LG G5, and in versions of smartphones for the domestic market. This will enable Samsung and LG “break in” new technology with minimal risk to their image.
