Before appearing on Galaxy Note 7, iRis scanner is one of the nice features on Lumia 950 XL. But in both phones, Iris scanner gets some limitation. One of those is it can’t work well in strong light condition. It’s so annoying when you are outside and want to unlock your phone, but the Iris can’t recognise you. In this condition, Iris scanner on Lumia 950 XL works better than Iris scanner on Galaxy Note 7, but it still takes a long time in processing, about 5-6s.

Despite some limitations, Iris Scanner is still an interesting feature on smartphones. It is also the most secure function at present. In some situation, Iris may not recognise the ower’s iris, but it never mistakes your eyes for someone’s else!
