Samsung Galaxy Note 4 may include retinal scanner

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 device has been leaked online several times and yet again the device has been highlighted by a tweet. @SamsungExynos – Samsung’s Twitter account for all things pertaining to their proprietary chipset and processor brand – has hinted that the next gen phablet may probably have a retinal scanner, or at the very least, security features that deals with the human eye.

The account posted an image of a smartphone with focus on the user’s eye. The accompanying caption reads “Security can be improved using features unique to us.” It may very well be a subtle hint towards what would arguably be one of the biggest features of the Galaxy Note 4.

So it is clearly a hint suggesting that the smartphone will come with some sort of retina scanner. This will be basically used to unlock the device or may be some private accounts in the phone as well. Samsung has already used the fingerprint scanner for the same purpose earlier and now this one is a bit different. However, things need to clear a bit before we make any further judgments about the upcoming Galaxy Note 4.

Considering that Samsung is developing the eye-scanning technology in-house, it is likely that the biometric function will debut with a top-end model. This makes Galaxy Note 4 a likely contender, as the rumoured Galaxy S5 Prime smartphone is said to retain the fingerprint sensor.

Galaxy Note 4 is said to run the upcoming Exynos 5433 octa-core processor, which has been among the highest-scoring processors in leaked benchmark results.

It is expected that Samsung will use a 5.7-inch bendable display with QHD (1440x2560p) resolution, 3GB RAM, 32GB internal storage, 16MP camera and Android 4.4 (KitKat) in the Galaxy Note 4 variant that will hit 3G-dominant markets like India. Markets where 4G is more prevalent will get the Snapdragon 805 processor, while sharing other specifications. An earlier report has said that users will be able to unlock their Galaxy Note 4 by simply writing on the screens.
