Samsung Galaxy S9 may have an “Intelligent Scan” feature which combines Face Unlock and Iris Scanner

An interesting tip was just sent our way by XDA Senior Member mweinbach. According to an APK teardown of the most recent Settings app from the latest unreleased Android Oreo beta for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, there appears to be a new feature in works for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. Called Intelligent Scan, the feature reportedly "combines face and iris scanning to improve accuracy and security even in low or very bright light."

Intelligent Scan = Face Unlock + Iris Scanner?

For those of you who aren't familiar, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has an iris scanner than can be used for biometric entry of passwords. The Samsung Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ do not offer an iris scanner and furthermore nowhere in the Galaxy Note 8's software is an "Intelligent Scan" feature ever mentioned, so it is presumed that these strings refer to a new feature on the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+.

mweinbach also uploaded the following video which is presumably the demonstration graphic that Samsung will place in the Settings app to show the user how the feature works.

According to the full strings obtained from the teardown, Intelligent Scan can be used to unlock the Galaxy S9/S9+ as soon as the screen turns on. At first glance, this sounds similar to the Face Unlock feature on the OnePlus 5T, however, Samsung states that combining Face Unlock with the Iris Scanner will ensure accuracy even in low or bright light conditions.

Intelligent Scan can also be used to verify yourself in applications provided the app supports it. That's not too surprising since the standalone Iris Scanner on the Galaxy Note 8 works similarly. You can find the full strings obtained from a teardown of the Note 8 Settings APK below.

We're bound to hear more about this feature in the coming weeks, especially as we inch closer to the official unveiling on February 25th. Most of the specifications, the look, and even the retail box have already been leaked, however, so don't expect anything too surprising to be revealed.
