Not to be outdone by Apple's use of fingerprint scanning technology in the iPhone 5S, Samsung is mulling the possibility of including iris recognition technology in the next Galaxy S smartphone. That's one of the hints Samsung Exec Lee Young Hee dropped on Bloomberg in a recent interview at CES 2014.
While Samsung isn't yet committed to using eye-scanning tech in the anticipated Samsung Galaxy S5, the company is considering it. "Many people are fanatical about iris recognition technology," Lee told Bloomberg. "We can't really say whether we will have it or not on the S5."
The Samsung Galaxy S4.
Samsung already played around with eye tech in the Galaxy S4, which included eye tracking technology. The feature can automatically scrolls down for you as your eyes move down a Web page, or pause a video when you look away. But a possible inclusion of iris recognition tech would presumably be used as a security feature similar to Apple's Touch ID in the latest flagship iPhone.
