Homtom HT10 will feature second gen iris scanner

Another brand is preparing for a release of a brand flagship model and this time its Homtom HT10 on the menu. The specs are not yet officially confirmed so only rumors about 5.5" FHD display, Helio X20 chipset, 4 GB RAM and 21 Mpix main camera.

But what is confirmed is the emergence of second generation of the iris scanner used in the handset. The second gen should bring way faster recognition of the iris within one second, better sensitivity in low light and possibility of using it for locking selected apps.

From the first pictures it looks like the iris scanner would be fully replacing the fingerprint one on the body of Homtom HT10. Although we have seen the iris scanners used on some phone models before, the first generation wasn't so reliable as main security feature so let's hope the second generation will be faring way better.
