Samsung: Galaxy S5 due by April, maybe with iris scanner

The Korean company's next-generation flagship Android phone will be more distinctive than predecessors. Also coming: a smaller, more powerful Gear successor

 

Samsung's Galaxy S5 will be stylistically distinct from S3 and S4 predecessors, and the next-generation flagship Android phone could include an iris scanner when it ships in March or April, according to the company's mobile-products leader.

"Many people are fanatical about iris recognition technology... We are studying the possibility," said Young-hee Lee, executive vice president of marketing for Samsung mobile's division, in a Bloomberg News interview at the CES conference in Las Vegas published Thursday.

Iris scanners can identify a person based on patterns in the eye, and adding one would be a competitive response to the fingerprint scanner in Apple's iPhone 5S and HTC One Max. For the iris scanner to be more than a gimmick, though, it would have to work effectively to avoid criticisms such as those leveled at the HTC One Max's fingerprint authentication mechanism.

Samsung had planned to include a fingerprint scanner in the Galaxy Note 3, a phablet released in September, but backed off the idea because it wasn't reliable enough, sources have told

The S5 should look different, too: "When we moved to S4 from S3, it's partly true that consumers couldn't really feel much difference between the two products from the physical perspective, so the market reaction wasn't as big," Lee told Bloomberg. "For the S5, we will go back to the basics. Mostly, it's about the display and the feel of the cover."

Asus jumps into the small tablet stylus game with the VivoTab Note 8

 

LAS VEGAS -- Asus is eyeing Samsung's current tablet stylus dominance with its new Vivotab Note 8, a Windows 8.1 tablet with a Wacom digitizer and stylus pen. There's no price or firm release date just yet, so whether it undercuts the $399 regular price of Samsung's Galaxy Note 8 remains to be seen.

Whatever its eventual price, Asus doesn't appear to be shy about adding value. The VivoTab Note 8 includes a copy of Microsoft Office Home and Student, which, in addition to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, throws in OneNote for good measure.

Asus doesn't make it clear exactly which Wacom digitizer sits inside the tablet, but does state the tablet can sense up to 1,000 points of pressure from the included stylus.

The VivoTab Note 8 houses a quad-core Intel Atom Z3740 CPU, and according to Asus, the tablet's battery will last for up to 8 hours. Other specs include 2GB of RAM and up to 64GB of storage, and it's compatible with 64GB microSD storage cards. There's a 5-megapixel rear camera and an "HD" front shooter, which means don't expect much from it in terms of

From the look of the pic above, Asus still seems comfortable leveraging the Nexus 7 (2012) design as this new one doesn't look much different. And with a 0.43-inch thickness, it's definitely not the thinnest small tablet I've ever seen; however, with an .83 pound bulk it still manages to weigh less than a pound. And like most Asus tablets, it also comes with a free year of unlimited ASUS WebStorage.

It feels a bit late for Asus to be stepping into the stylus tablet game -- and on a Windows 8.1 machine no less -- given Samsung's stranglehold on on the subcategory. Samsung has worked to improve stylus integration on its tablet since the introduction of the original Galaxy Note 10 -- with great success. Whether the VivoTab will see similar success will depend -- among other factors -- on just how well the stylus is integrated into the interface.
