FaceGle, 09 Mar 2017but in reality, no one will use the iris scanner, or maybe ... moreWith gloves on it is totally usefull to have such an unlock option. Plus if is faaar more comfortable to just look at the phone and unlock it.

        Oh please... My old xperia e3 and m2 has facial recognition. Was that suppose to be a hype on s8 again. That's totally unspecial in the slightest way.

          When is Samsung going to bankrupt?
          Keeps on introducing gimmicks upon gimmicks non-stop.
          Idiotic lousy idea of unlocking phones.
          Why not introduce a gimmick to use your mouth to unlock the phone.

                More & more sophisticated ways of unlocking electronic devices like door locks, cars etc...., now fingerprint scanners will even be on entry level phones too.

                  I love facial feature ;)

                      This news is not really about facial recognition but to keep the hype about S8. Google, Apple, Samsung are coping each-other on dubious marketing practices (a.k.a. leaks) and people are getting tired of these cheap marketing tricks and artificial hype over very common smartphones.

                                Iris scanner is best biometric tech to use. Period. Thing is, the military probably own the best most reliable implementation so consumer version will be less effective.
