New Delhi: At the ongoing Mobile World Congress, ZTE announced a new feature to its flagship smartphone, ZTE Grand S3, that makes unlocking the device easy with a mere eye scan.
The eye-based biometric solution, Eyeprint ID, is provided by EyeVerify and works by imaging unique vein patterns in the human eye using the smartphone's front-facing camera.
ZTE said that its latest Grand S3 is one of the first smartphones in the world to offer this solution, pepping up the device's security and adding to the convenience of unlocking the device without passwords.
Prior to its debut at Mobile World Congress 2015, the ZTE Grand S3 was initially launched domestically in China on January 17, 2015.
The ZTE Grand S3 features a 5.5-inch screen with 1920x1080 resolution. The rear camera is 16-megapixel with dual LED flash, while the front camera is 8-megapixel.
The smartphone is packed with a 3,100mAh battery; runs on 2.5GHz quad core processor; has LTE network support; based on Android 4.4 Kitkat; and has 3GB RAM and 16GB internal memory which is expandable up to 64GB through microSD card.
ZTE said that the Eyeprint ID will feature in upcoming devices in ZTE's Grand series, and will soon be integrated with mobile payment and other applications.
The enhanced ZTE Grand S3 with Eyeprint ID is currently available for purchase online in China, priced at 2999 RMB ($477.95).
