You might want to Google "Face ID vs. iris scan". I didn't find a single article that didn't say Face ID was more reliable and more secure...or, to drop the double negative: ALL the articles stated Face ID was more reliable and secure than iris scanning.
Pay attention to what iPhone owners say on Macrumors. Here is one example (of many): https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/how-much-of-a-difference-in-2gb-ram-vs-1gb.1957398/
Again: search for "Face ID vs. iris scan" Take your pick from the results. NONE will say that iris scanning is more secure.
Have you read Samsung’s disclaimer about damage to eyesight due to infrared radiation from the iris scanner?
You do realise that FaceID also uses infrared so has exactly the same risk? Especially as its focuses on the eyes to ensure they are open.
What, are you 7??

I visit every day. I'm paying attention.
Keep dreaming, snowflake.

Most secure, like last year’s, meaning it will unlock with just a photo of the owner.
What, are you all moneybags around here? Secret agents? Both systems are good enough for 99 percent of people. Who the F is going to steal your phone and have a photo of your face to unlock it? You are all arguing about something that matters little for most of us.
As far as the watch goes, I have both the Apple Watch 3 and the Samsung 3 Frontier. They are both good, though from an aesthetic standpoint, I like the Frontier better. The AW3 looks like one of those dorky Casio Calculator watches I had as a kid. The round Frontier looks more like a grownup's watch. Plus, the fonts are larger and they make better use of the space on the round interface. And that dial blows the crown out of the water for navigating the watch. But in the end, you should use the watch that matches the phone brand for maximum capability.
As Denis Miller used to say before he went crazy "Its just my opinion, I could be wrong."

Perhaps access to Windows 10 source code would be a starting point! Hmm... Are you new??
I guess you are not aware of the Android memory requirements. Memory is a problem area. One of many.

How come it's not used for financial transactions?
Uninspiring. All Samsung does is obsessing with Apple by adding features revolving around Apple
Not insinuating anything. I’m comparing a relatively simple high-res camera with an infrared light that combines a photo of your face and a photo of your iris to a 30 000 dot projector that maps a 3d scan of your face in a fraction of a second.
And your only proof I’m wrong is that you really, really want Samsung to be better. It’s hard, but just wish it strong enough and miracles will happen!
Oh, boy. This really hurt some of you. Fine, it’s just my opinion. Ignore all the articles and reviews. Ignore the reports how Iris scanners can be tricked by photos. Ignore all the reviews of Windows Hello devices using 3D cameras like Intel RealSense, explaining the benefits of the tech. Yes, it’s just my opinion.
Because god forbid someone has better tech than Samsung. Just like those who claim that faster CPUs in iPhones is a tech journalist conspiracy.
Can’t wait to hear what your excuse will be when Samsung starts using dot projectors eventually. Now it’s even more bestest ever?
I understand that for some Apple fans it may be difficult to understand how things work in other ecosystems but still...
Samsung phones offer three separate authentication methods (highest security first):
- iris scanner
- fingerprint scanner
- face recognition
Once again iris scanning has nothing to do with 2D facial recognition. Whether 3D facial recognition is more secure than 2D facial recognition (it is) has nothing to do with iris scanning.
Iris Scan is just as secure as Face ID, if not more secure.
[doublepost=1533861562][/doublepost]
You are confusing iris scanning with facial recognition. Iris scanning is just as secure as Face ID, and Samsung Pay does use it. Get your facts straight.
I kinda disagree... I had no problem when I was using Touch ID... but this Face ID kept failing me especially when I’m on my bed at night... will consider saying goodbye to Apple if they ditch Touch ID all together
I understand that for some Samsung fans it may be difficult to accept, but for really important things (like payments) on Samsung Galaxy phones, the Iris scanner is used exclusively (face recognition is used just for added security after the Iris scan) and this Iris scanner is less secure than a 3D topographical scan. Face recognition is even less secure. It’s 3d face map > finger print > iris > facial recognition.
But, as I said, believe what you will. Samsung is the best at everything. Sure, Apple invested gazillion of dollars and several years into Face ID because they weren’t able to put an ordinary infrared camera on their phone. Yes, because that was harder to do.
Dude like shut up, you clearly don't know what you are talking about. You have to go above and beyond to obtain an optical scan of someone eyes, that can be used to unlock their phone. And it's not something that can be obtain from a regular photo online. It requires a special camera like on the Note 9 to obtain such a scan of your eyes(iris).

Thank you, that other guy seems like he's paid, keeps running around her with his BS.
I’m not talking about that laughable facial recognition. I am talking about Iris scanning - and it is less secure than Face ID.
