    bwwwwaaaaaaaaa

      i hope samsung doesn't remove the iris scan. it's more convenience and secure than finger print or face scan.

            "Samsung was onto 3D facial recognition long before Apple released its revolutionary iPhone X." :')

            Facial recognition is terrible. The X's was a waste of time and was incredibly easy to break, the tech on the Huawei P20 series, whilst better than the X, is still pretty poor.

            When will phone companies recognise that nothing is going to be able to replace the nice, basic physical fingerprint scanner, which is more difficult to cheat your way past, offers a much faster response and is just generally more convenient for when you actually use your phone (you know, because you're actually holding the device and the vast majority of these devices have their fingerprint reader to most extents in a position where your digits will actually be contacting the phone).

                  they have to do something about it. faster charging and more battery life.

                    y do u need this tech which is completely useless in darkness...when u have the fingerprint scanner ?
                    y not instead put more r&d in some other aspects of the phone,like the batery capacity or ruggedness of the phone...!!!!!

                      Retina scanner ,DNA scanner ,just throw in everything to be fancy so you can justify price increase for your next flagship announcement

                      fingerprint scanner will just do fine ,they should focus more to bring better cameras or make it more thinner or dare I say more affordable

                        I wanna DNA unl0ck phone..h

                          Geric.770, 05 Jul 2018S10 would be the almost "Perfect" Samsung phone this 2019.If only they'd just bring back the IR blaster!

Human voice aren't that variative, so it's not that secure. Also if you meant it for a voice password, who wanted to leak their password by just listening to it?
