Retina scanner for the Vivo X5 Pro gets confirmed

Chinese handset manufacturer – Vivo, has managed to create much of the buzz in the industry for its upcoming Vivo X5 Pro. The company which currently holds top spot for offering the worlds thinnest handset (Vivo X5 Max) is now all set to release yet another magnificent smart handset. The Vivo X5 is said to be having a front camera capable of shooting 32MP selfies. Additionally the handset is also supposed to have a 2.5D curved glass for its display giving it a different look. Now the company has confirmed the existence of a retina scanner to the handset.

The Vivo X5 Pro is tipped to be having a 6inch display with the powerful Snapdragon 615 chipset on-board. The handset is said to have a superior 3GB of RAM memory. The handset is also said to have a whopping 3200-3500mAh of battery life. The excellent thing will be the presence of the retina scanner security by its camera. However this is not the first handset to come with this technology but it certainly is better option – as compared to the fingerprint scanner seen in most of the flagships this day – offering higher security.

The camera sensor to the front would be employed to trace out the unique blood vessels within the retina offering higher security to the device. We are certainly waiting for an official word from the company and would soon get you with all the official details once they are our way.

Retina scanner for the Vivo X5 Pro gets confirmed

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 likely to host retina scanner

Before the launch of Samsung’s premium flagship Galaxy S5 this year, there were rumors about the device would come with a retina sensor. However, upon launch the device sported a fingerprint scanner for biometric security. Now the company on its SamsungExynos Twitter account has released a teaser that shows a phablet device focusing on an eye and if the above image is observed very carefully, at the right hand side, you will see a list of bills with a pay button. This could possibly mean a PayPal integration with retina scanner just as we have it with a fingerprint scanner in the Galaxy S5.

Moreover, the tagline of the image is “Unlock the Future” which shows that the retina scanner could also be used for unlocking the device. Moreover, the Korean tech giant has also pioneered another of its eye-tracking-feature that prevents the screen from getting dim or locked when a user is still looking at the screen. Additionally the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is expected to host a 3.68MP primary camera according to AnTuTu, but it has to be seen that whether the company uses the same camera for secure retina scans or introduces a completely separate sensor for the job. Well, we would keep some patience till the IFA event to be held in Berlin this September when we expect the device to break covers.
