Samsung Galaxy S5 to feature eye-scanning tech, report suggestsNovember 23, 2013 - 15:58 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Samsung's Galaxy S5 smartphone could feature eye-scanning technology, a leaked patent filing suggests, according to Digital Spy. Patent Bolt has uncovered a document from the Korean company detailing a handset with an iris-sensing unit and a proximity sensor. It is thought that the proximity sensor will activate the iris scanner when the phone is held in close proximity to the user's face, scanning their retina as a means of identification. However, given that the Galaxy S5 has been tipped for an early 2014 launch, the patented technology could be incorporated into one of its successors. Previous rumours suggest that the Galaxy S5 will feature an aluminium shell, marking a departure from the polycarbonate casing of its predecessors, and come with a 16-megapixel camera on board. Meanwhile, a concept video predicting what features the Galaxy S5 might include recently appeared on the O2 Guru TV YouTube channel.
