Samsung Galaxy S9 might have particulary advanced recognition tools
Galaxy S9’s leaked code has recently went through a teardown; among the things found out during it, perhaps the most interesting was a feature called Intelligent Scan. This feature will supposedly allow Galaxy S9 to use both its iris scanner and facial recognition in the unlocking procedure, thus doubling the phone’s security measures (as well as cutting down on battery life, no doubt). It is unknown whether or not will Galaxy S9 allow to use the above security measures separately, although there are hints suggesting that it will. The iris scanner itself is said to receive an ...

Android Headlines’ anonymous inside source instead believes that HTC will launch that phone during its own event in March or April. The reason for the delay is speculated to be HTC wanting to polish its flagship as best as possible before the release. seeing how the company’s revenue is the lowest it has been in thirteen years, this might be a good idea. On the other hand, HTC will lack the press coverage of MWC ...

Long story short, it will allow the iPhone owners to decide whether they want Apple to throttle their phone’s performance or ...
