Samsung is reportedly working on a
new eye-scanning feature which is
expected to be introduced on the
Galaxy S4's successor.
According to a report by AndroidSaS
that cites some sources from Korea,
claims that the South Korean giant
has started working on an eye-
scanning sensor which will be featured
in the rumoured Galaxy S5.
The feature is said to bring the eye-
scanning unlock ability to the
smartphones. Unfortunately, the report
does not reveal many details of the
alleged eye-scanning unlock feature.
The eye-scanning feature has not
been introduced on any smartphone
(from a major manufacturer) as an
unlocking method, and if the rumour is
true, Samsung would become the first
handset maker to debut the feature on
a smartphone. However, there is no
official word from Samsung on the
alleged eye-scanning feature.
Previously, Apple and HTC have
introduced the fingerprint scanner
features to the iPhone 5s and One Max
respectively.
The fingerprint scanner
feature lets users to log-in (and
authorize payments, etc., on the iPhone
5s) with a swipe of the fingertip.
Earlier a report, predicted that
Samsung will refresh its flagship
smartphone
offering sooner than expected. The
report suggested that Samsung has
been preparing to launch the Galaxy S5
smartphone in January due to
disappointing Galaxy S4 sales.
It cited
internal sources and informed that the
Galaxy S5 is likely to be announced as
early as mid-January, with a market
release expected to take place in
February.
The report also shed some light on the
specifications of the alleged Galaxy S5
smartphone. It claimed that the phone
would be powered by a 64-bit Exynos
5430 chip and will sport a 16-megapixel
camera with enhanced low-light
performance and Optical Image
Stabilisation.
The South Korean major has already
revealed that its next smartphone
would be powered
by a 64-bit chip, after Apple unveiled
the iPhone 5s which is powered by a
64-bit processor.
