      To the one posting a comment something to the effect that an iris scanner when implemented properly, is better than fingerprint scanner I say this: Not really… this added layer of security would by-any-means, never become better than an optical fingerprint recognition & authentication, only if you are blind! eheheheheh… and almost always have to just rely on an accessibility feature like screenreaders, built-in on the Operating System itself such as Talkback and Shine+ for Android and Voiceover for iOS, or installed on their Smartphones, such as Eloquence text-to-speech; Acapella TTS, among others.

        And so are other brands? You are really funny, making stories.

          Let us see how long until you eat your pride...
          HTC, LG, Sony, Motorola, Lenovo, Alcatel and others have already their own versions of VR headset. Apple is also planning soon. Not to mention lots of generic VR headsets available in the market with different prices.
          If what you are saying are true, nobody will continue producing VR headsets and the law will prohibit it. Where is your brain?

              Samsung yet again build a UHD display and calls it innovation. Crap.

              UHD, heart rate monitor, iris scanner, what else? Total bullshit" "bullshit? what do you want then? same design, same phone internals, just 2 cameras on the phone back, and 1000$ price?" Huh, maybe yes! Because as of the moment, that's the only thing the ever, EVER struggling Fruit can afford to copy, without bringing a thing into where else?: wanna guess?anyone? THE US COURTS, OF COURSE! And they may be even bring this into the Supreme Court of the United Nations!; if their is an existing one!…

It is becoming harder and HARDER day-by-day to pulldown Samsung in its throne as the reigning and defending king of tech in this generation of Smart folks using Smartphones.
