[Poll] Should your handset switch to the iris scanner when face recognition doesn’t work?
If your authentication method of choice on your Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ is face recognition, I’m sure you’ve been left feeling frustrated when it’s too dark to recognize your face, forcing you to either enter a password or use the inconveniently-positioned fingerprint reader.
This got us thinking… Why doesn’t face recognition automatically switch to the iris scanner, which utilizes infrared to work at night, when it’s too dark to detect a face? It’s a lot more convenient than stretching to reach the fingerprint scanner—and not to mention more intuitive.
We’d love to know what you think, so be sure to cast a vote in the poll below, then feel free to expand on your answer in the comments section. Come on, let’s get a conversation going! As usual, we’ll be responding to comments submitted over on Facebook and Twitter.

Well the iris scanner or face recognition are fast but the lagging on the s8 and s8plus make it slower when using the iris scanner or face recognition. seriously Samsung need to work on the lagging issue. I had to keep resetting my phone hoping i won’t experience the lagging issue but unfortunately it getting worst
It’s sad that the s8 is having a lag issue. It’s 2017 isn’t it?!?
It should be a combo of the two, for faster authentication. Parallel programming needs to be involved though.
Simply said, both sensors (facial and iris) work together, and whichever gets a valid input sends a signal to authenticate the device.
It should be the opposite.
The handset switch to face recognition when the iris scanning doesn’t work due the environment like excessive sunlight.
I don’t even know why we need to ask it to Samsung, this should already be here ! ^^
That would be a good idea, since face recognition fails in the dark..
