New device to be unveiled by April.
Samsung has been struggling as of late, cutting $8 billion off its market value (http://www.mobile-ent.biz/devices/samsung/samsung-cuts-8-billion-off-its-market-value/042598), and losing market dominance to Apple in China.
Meaning it is under even more pressure to release something special for its next mobile device. Maybe an eye scanner similar to the iPhone 5S’ fingerprint scanner (http://www.mobile-ent.biz/devices/iphone/iphone-5s-the-most-forward-thinking-smartphone-in-the-world/041803) could be just the ticket.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 has a lot to live up – which is why Lee Young Hee, executive VP of Samsung’s mobile business is responding to what people want.
She said: “Many people are fanatical about iris recognition technology. We are studying the possibility.”
There were already rumours surround retina technology as the NY Times reported earlier last year that the S5 could possibly sport an eye scrolling feature (https://www.mobile-ent.biz/devices/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s-iv-could-allow-you-to-scroll-pages-with-your-eyes/040323), to prevent time-consuming swiping when reading messages and other media.
She didn’t spill too many beans to Bloomberg at CES, but did say that the company will focus more on the device’s display, and feel of the cover.
It was also revealed that the new device will be released along side a new Samsung smartwatch (http://www.mobile-ent.biz/industry/market-data/infographic-top-tech-of-2013/042644). WHY???
